It’ll mark the 6th time this season the GameDay crew will have gone to a game featuring at least one Big Ten side and the second time it will be on hand for both Michigan and Ohio State. The crew was in Columbus last Saturday for Ohio State’s top-10 matchup with Michigan State.
The Buckeyes and Wolverines will play for the Big Ten East crown. Ohio State sits at 10-1 on the season and 8-0 in Big Ten play after its 56-7 throttling of No. 7 Michigan State on Saturday. The 4th-ranked Buckeyes book a trip to Lucas Oil Stadium with a win over the Wolverines.
Michigan is No. 6 in the most recent College Football Playoff rankings, also sitting at 10-1 on the year. The Wolverines lost to Michigan State on Oct. 30, their only league loss of the season (7-1). A win over the Buckeyes would get them to Indianapolis and the Big Ten championship game for the first time.
It would also be the first win over the Buckeyes for the program since 2011.
Kickoff is set for noon ET on FOX on Nov. 27.
