Ohio State is 5-0 this season and Michigan is 2-4.

With the cancelation, Ohio State falls one game below the requirement to reach the B1G Championship Game, with the league setting a 6-game minimum requirement before the season started. The league could either attempt to get the Buckeyes a sixth game or change the requirement.

This marks the second straight game Michigan has had to cancel, also calling off last week’s game against Maryland.

Ohio State has won 8 straight games in the series.
