Michigan vs. Ohio State result: Live updates, highlights, analysis

November 30, 2024

Most seasons it is the game of the year in the Big Ten. But in 2024, Michigan, the reigning national champion, is nearing the end of its disappointing season and still searching for an identity.

The 120th meeting between the Wolverines (6-5, 4-4 Big Ten) and Ohio State (10-1, 7-1) is the most crucial for the Buckeyes, who are looking to end a three-game losing streak and are getting closer to one Place in the College Football Playoff.

Ohio State enters the game with the best defense in the country, allowing just 241.7 yards per game, and if Michigan wants to try to run the ball, it could be difficult there too, as the Buckeyes’ stout defense is allowing 2.7 yards per attempt allows only 90 yards per game.

When is the Michigan vs. Ohio State game?

Kickoff for Saturday’s game between No. 2 Ohio State and Michigan is at noon ET at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.

College Football Fix Podcast

Speaking of Week 14, there are some big games to watch. Ohio State-Michigan may have lost some of its luster, but it’s still crucial for the Buckeyes and Ryan Day. Texas and Texas A&M renew their rivalry with implications for the SEC title game. Are Georgia, Tennessee and Notre Dame possible victims of the upset? The chaotic Big 12 race, in which four teams share first place, will also sort itself out. Who will be the big winners?

USA TODAY Sports’ Dan Wolken and Paul Myerberg discuss these topics and more in this week’s version of College Football Fix.

The College Football Playoff changes in this week’s bowl predictions start with the SEC. Mississippi and Alabama were both stunned on the road as heavy favorites and eliminated from the conference title game.

College football overreactions from Week 13

As the college football season comes to a close, there’s only one thing we really know for certain. No matter how the various conference races turn out and no matter what the playoff committee’s final decisions regarding participants and seeds, not everyone will be happy.

Another series of chaotic results over the weekend resulted in the usual abundance of snap judgments and snap decisions. Here too, our goal is to provide an overview of the overall picture.

Here are the five most common overreactions to a wild Week 13. — Eddie Timanus

How many teams are participating in the 2024 College Football Playoff?

In the 2024-25 season, 12 teams will qualify for the College Football Playoff. The top five conference champions receive automatic bids, with the top four receiving a first-round bye. The remaining seven top-ranked teams complete the 12-team field.

How does the College Football Playoff format work?

The 12 participating teams in the College Football Playoff round are the five highest ranked conference champions by the CFP Selection Committee and the next best seven teams.

The top four ranked conference champions are seeded one through four and receive a bye in the first round. The fifth conference champion will be seeded where they were ranked, or No. 12 if outside the top 12 in the CFP rankings. Non-conference champions placed in the top four will be seeded starting at No. 5.

“For this reason,” the CFP warns on its website, “the rankings of Nos. 1 through 12 could look different than the final ranking.”

The fifth of six College Football Playoff Top 25 rankings will be released on Tuesday, December 3, following Week 13 games.
