Bill Bender writes: "Who wins the identity battle? That is the question. Michigan handled that challenge last year. Ohio State had a three-point lead in the second quarter, but that was it. Michigan controlled the tempo. What happens if the Buckeyes take a two-score lead in the first half? That would be trouble on the road."

Matt Johnson writes: "We think this is a relatively high-scoring affair with the final drives determining the winner. At home in Ohio Stadium with a chance to win the Heisman Trophy, Stroud comes through with a game-winning drive that is capped off with celebration as senior Noah Ruggles drills the winner that clinches the Buckeyes’ spot in the CFB Playoff."
Fansided: Ohio State 35, Michigan 31
Ryan Stano writes: "Based on what I saw from both teams last week, I think the Buckeyes will win a very close game 35-31. I think both teams are fairly evenly matched because both have big flaws on offense. Ohio State struggles to run the ball and Michigan can’t throw it."
