The Buckeyes still have their toughest opponent of the season left on their schedule: the No. 3 Michigan Wolverines. This season's running of college sports' greatest rivalry will take place in Ann Arbor, Michigan over Thanksgiving weekend on Saturday, November 25.
Before that game, however, No. 2 Ohio State will play their final contest of the season at Ohio Stadium this Saturday, November 18. The Buckeyes will square off with the Minnesota Golden Gophers at 4 p.m. eastern on Big Ten Network.
