The Buckeyes already have locked up the East Division, so they likely would survive a loss to Michigan if they win the conference championship game. But the Wolverines, 0-4 against Ohio State under Jim Harbaugh and losers in 14 of the last 15 in The Game, would love to cause their rival even just a little anxiety. (AP Photo/Jay LaPrete, File)
