Michigan is heating up, and Ohio State keeps winning.
If this keeps up, Nov. 24 at Ohio Stadium — the site of this year’s OSU-Michigan game — will have an extra jolt of electricity.
This past week saw plenty of movement in everyone’s college football rankings as top 10 teams went down, and several others were pushed to the limit.
The Wolverines make a big jump this week after their 38-13 pounding of Wisconsin on Oct. 13. The Buckeyes weren’t as impressive in their 3014 win against Minnesota, but that 7-0 mark has OSU fans ready for a run to the College Football Playoff.
