Ohio State vs. Michigan game score prediction, pick by college football computers

What to expect when Ohio State and Michigan square off with the Big Ten and College Football Playoff all on the line

Ohio State and Michigan meet this Saturday in college football's Week 13 action in a game loaded with conference and national title implications.

The winner is set to represent the East Division in the Big Ten Championship Game and will be favored to win the league title with a clear path to the College Football Playoff as the likely No. 2 seed behind consensus favorite Georgia.

Michigan comes in on a 1-game win streak in the rivalry after last season's dominant victory in the Big House, and this season boasts the nation's top scoring defense and one of its premier rushing attacks, albeit with lead back Blake Corum dealing with a new injury.

Ohio State is predictably productive on offense with quarterback CJ Stroud at the helm, and has made important strides defensively, ranking in the top 10 nationally.
