The Michigan Wolverines are two wins away from returning to the College Football Playoffs, but one of those wins will have to come against a motivated No. 2-ranked Ohio State football team in Columbus.

The Buckeyes, 11-0, host the 11-0 Wolverines at noon inside Ohio Stadium with the winner possibly sealing a College Football Playoff berth regardless of what happens on Dec. 3 in the Big Ten Championship Game.

Michigan snapped a near decade-long losing streak to the Buckeyes in 2021. But the Wolverines may not be at full strength for the 2022 game.

Last week, Heisman contender and star running back Blake Corum, who is battling C.J. Stroud and Marvin Harrison Jr. for Big Ten Player of the Year, missed most of the second half against Illinois with a knee injury. His back-up, Donovan Edwards, also missed the Illinois game with an injury. Freshman C.J. Strokes would likely be the main running back for Michigan if the two missed the Ohio State game.
