#4 Michigan (-4) at #10 OHIO STATE  Who would have ever thought, well before the Purdue fiasco, m would be favored in Columbus against OHIO STATE?

Is OHIO STATE +4 easy money?

Even as championship weekend looms in Week 14, rivalry weekend was just as important across the country. With a full slate of games on Friday and Saturday, the college football world was busy fleshing out conference races.

While Alabama, Clemson and Georgia were each able to stave off their rivals, the rest of the Top 10 endured turbulence. LSU dropped an entertaining 74-72, seven-overtime affair that came down to the final two-point conversion by Texas A&M. Notre Dame and Oklahoma narrowly avoided losing as road teams, but they march forward in the thick of the playoff chase.

Change is coming still, as Ohio State dominated Michigan, Washington State fell in the Apple Cup, and UCF gained a road win but lost its most valuable player. The Buckeyes should vault upward, whereas the Tigers, Wolverines, Cougars and Knights are all but eliminated.

There was meaningful action beyond the Top 10 that affected the bowl picture. Colorado, Arizona, Kansas State and Indiana were among the teams that laid duck farts and missed the chance to reach six wins and eligibility. Both Arizona and Kansas State squandered fourth-quarter leads that seemed insurmountable en route to losses.

Texas secured its rematch with the Sooners next weekend as it survived a surprising scare at Kansas. Boise State is all set to host Fresno State for the Mountain West Championship Game. Memphis blew out Houston as Darrell Henderson continued his incredible production. The Tigers will face UCF next week. 

Bleacher Report's panel of experts—Matt Hayes, David Kenyon, Adam Kramer, Kerry Miller, Brad Shepard and Ian Wharton—voted on the action. A first-place vote is worth 25 points, followed by 24 points for second, 23 for third, etc.

Here is our Week 14 poll:

1. Alabama (last week: 1)
2. Clemson (2)
3. Notre Dame (3)

--------------- top 3 probably solid, #4 if GEO loses is up for grabs
4. Georgia (5)
5. Oklahoma (6)
6. Ohio State (10) <----  needs a few key losses ahead to grab #4
7. UCF (7)
8. Michigan (4)
9. Washington State (8) 
10. Texas (11) 
11. Penn State (12) 
12. Boise State (15)
13. Florida (16)
14. West Virginia (14)
15. Washington (17) 
16. LSU (9) 
17. Syracuse (20)
18. Kentucky (21)
19. Army (18)
20. Utah State (13)
T-21. Northwestern (24)
T-21. Utah (19) 
T-23. Fresno State (22)
T-23. Texas A&M (NR)
25. Mississippi State (NR)

Others receiving votes: Iowa State, Cincinnati, Missouri, Pittsburgh, NC State

Maybe. 11-1 and waiting to see where they play next. BIG TEN CHAMPS?

Michigan a fine 10-2 and will get a nice bowl game. 🙂

It’s been 32 years since Jim Harbaugh last led the Michigan Wolverines to a win over the Ohio State Buckeyes. Ever since the consummate Michigan Man made good on 

, the maize and blue have largely been muzzled by the scarlet and gray. To some degree, Harbaugh must have returned to his alma mater for games like Saturday’s. But he has fumbled each of his three chances at the Buckeyes.

This week represents his best opening. Las Vegas sportsbooksinstalled the Wolverines as 4-point favorites, despite the fact that Michigan has won just two of its past 17 games against its rivals to the south.1 Expectations loom large for Harbaugh and his team, which may be the more talented squad for the first time in more than a decade. Some have already designated the upcoming game a referendum on his tenure, even though no program this season has rewritten its post-Week 1 narrative more than Michigan has. In fact, according to our Elo ratings, no team has improved more since the preseason than the Wolverines.

Saturday’s matchup is the 115th installment of one of college football’s richest rivalries. This one features a cornucopia of College Football Playoff implications: The winner’s playoff chances will spike to between 59 and 67 percent, according to our model, while the loser will be virtually eliminated from contention. Additionally, of course, the winner of the game will play for a conference championship..........CONTINUED.........
