Ohio State just won the national title after a dynamic run through the College Football Playoff.

But the Buckeyes didn’t beat Michigan in 2024, losing in stunning fashion to the mediocre Wolverines, and at home no less. So, in 2025 Ohio State will have revenge on its mind on Nov. 29 when it visits Ann Arbor as the 2 bitter rivals end the regular season by playing each other, like always.

FanDuel provided fodder for next fall’s collision by releasing a very early betting line on the Ohio State-Michigan game. Right now, about 10 months before the game, with lots of variables still to be determined on the 2 rosters, the defending national champs are favored by 8.5.

Ohio State will be losing a lot of talent from its 2024 championship roster, but the Buckeyes will also be bringing back a ton, headlined by sophomore-to-be wide receiver Jeremiah Smith. Meanwhile, Michigan will be dealing with the great unknown at quarterback, with Bryce Underwood set to compete for the starting job in 2025.

Both teams will look different next fall, but the one constant in this rivalry will remain, and that’s the determination to end the regular season by getting bragging rights. For Ohio State, that means doing the 1 thing that got away from the Buckeyes in 2024 before they went on their memorable Playoff run to the title.
