The headliner for Week 13 in college football is Ohio State hosting Michigan. Our expert picks for the Big 12 clash and the rest of the Top 25 games.
Dan Wolken looks at how the massive Ohio State-Michigan game will impact College Football Playoff and what USC and LSU's path to top four looks like.When Michigan finally ended its long losing streak to Ohio State almost exactly a year ago, attention already started turning to this Saturday when the Buckeyes would have their opportunity for payback at home. What we didn't expect was that both teams would be unbeaten, adding another layer to this already heated series that sees the No.
Injuries are a concern for both teams with running back a key issue. Ohio State could be down to third-choice Dallan Hayden, who was good against Maryland but hasn't played in a game like this. Michigan star Blake Corum left last week's defeat of Illinois and only had one carry after halftime. He's the spark plug of the offense, so his availability is critical for the game which will likely send the winner to the College Football Playoff.
The other major showdown brings together two more of the biggest names in college football. No. 5 Southern California gets a visit from No. 15 Notre Dame with the Trojans just on the outside of the playoff field and a berth in the Pac-12 championship game already confirmed. USC quarterback Caleb Williams has been ridiculously prolific in the past month, so the Fighting Irish will need a huge effort from their defense to slow him down and possibly upset their West Coast rival.
