The Buckeyes travel to Ann Arbor to take on TTUN in a game that means everything to both sides. It might also mean the end of an era for what is considered one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports.

Next season, the Big Ten is expanding. There will be 18 programs and no divisions, meaning there's a good chance Ohio State and Michigan will play two times in the seasons to come. That's because they could match up in the conference title game after meeting initially in the regular season.

Michigan has recently turned it around against OSU, winners of two straight after losing eight in a row - a program record.

“Being able to get on top of that rivalry this last two years has been huge,” Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy said. “And, we don’t plan on being on the other side of that at all anymore.”

Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh will not be in the building for the third straight game as he serves a three-game suspension from the Big Ten for sign-stealing.

Michigan offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore will wear the head coach's headset. Harbaugh also missed the first three games of the season because of a suspension imposed by the university for breaking NCAA rules.

It's the second year in a row both schools have perfect records entering the matchup and the Buckeyes are hoping to halt a two-game losing skid to TTUN.

“We’re still confident,” Buckeyes defensive end Jack Sawyer said. "I think that’s our motto is playing confident and being stingy and trying to get turnovers and just playing as aggressive as we can on the field. If we do that good things will happen.”
