SALT LAKE CITY — Ohio State and Michigan meet Saturday in the 120th edition of "The Game." There are 15 Power Four rivalry trophies up for grabs this week; and while this series doesn't have any hardware, it has become the premier national rivalry in the sport.

Ohio State won 17 of 19 matchups from 2001-19 to mark the most dominant 20-year stretch the rivalry had ever seen. But after the 2020 canceled game, there was a sudden shift, and now Michigan is riding a four-year win streak — they even stunned the No. 2 Buckeyes last year as 20-point underdogs.Ryan Day currently holds the FBS career record for highest win percentage and he won the national title last year, but he still has a Michigan problem to fix.

They lost to Oklahoma by 11 and lost to USC by 18, but they won all other games and their defensive performance against Washington was impressive. Michigan checks in at No. 15 in Game Grader.Ohio State with the ball Ohio State offense: 15th of 68 Power 4 teams, 2nd passing, 20th rushing Michigan defense: 12th of 68 Power 4 teams, 16th pass defense, 9th rush defense Coming into the season, the on
