Big x-factors for Ohio State and Michigan in Week 14
The Columbus Dispatch’s Joey Kaufman and the Detroit Free Press’ Tony Garcia join Before The Snap to break down keys to The Game.
Ohio State looks to break its four-game losing streak against archrival Michigan in the final week of the regular season with ESPN’s “College GameDay” on site.
The No. 1 Buckeyes haven’t beat the Wolverines since 2019. Ohio State has been dominant in 2025, though, led by first-year starting quarterback Julian Sayin and perhaps the best receiver duo in the country with Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate on the outside.
There are a few other rivalry games across the country with College Football Playoff implications. Alabama travels to face Auburn in the Iron Bowl, Miami faces Pittsburgh on the road and Tennessee hosts Vanderbilt.
Detroit Lions defensive end and former Michigan standout Aidan Hutchinson is the celebrity guest picker on Nov. 29.
Here’s a look at how “College GameDay” picked each of the top matchups in Week 14.
