★ WEEK 13 ★ TOP 25 and of course "The Game" !
Top 25 not out yet #2 OSU and #? how about #2 versus #3 Michigan should be interesting ..... GAME OF THE DAY. !
~ AND ~ just 5 weeks until our WEEK 15 NFL Playoffs begin here and across the Fantasy League seasons begin.
Very similar to the 2022 NFL regular season here. The season just somehow just glides by.....and then it's playoff time.And also just 5 days until the BIG TEN season and " the game" with undefeated Michigan at undefeated Ohio State is here.
The winner goes on to the BIG TEN Championship Game the following week. And both teams were tested but pulled through last week.
GO BUCKEYES, naturally for me.

Oh yes take us back .......
OSU RB TreVeyon Henderson (32) gets past Michigan LB David Ojabo (55) on a long run during first half action in the game between Ohio State and Michigan in Ann Arbor on Saturday, November 27, 2021.
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State football’s matchup against Michigan has finally arrived as has a chance at redemption.
The Buckeyes will host the Wolverines next Saturday on Fox at noon, looking to redeem themselves following last season’s 42-27 loss in Ann Arbor. The loss was their first in the rivalry game since 2011.
Michigan leads to the all-time series 59–51–6, but before last season the Buckeyes had won 17 of the last 19 since hiring Jim Tressel in 2001. That includes Urban Meyer going 7-0 in the rivalry. That shifted last season as Michigan not only won in convincing fashion but used it to springboard itself to a Big Ten Championship and its first College Football Playoff berth while ruining OSU’s chances at both.
The same stakes are on the table in 2022 while also giving off similar vibes to a 2006 meeting when the two sides were undefeated and ranked No. 1 and No. 2 nationally. Ohio State won that game 42-39 on its way to the National Championship game while quarterback Troy Smith took home the Heisman Trophy.
This time around, they’ll be No. 2 and No. 3 as 11-0 teams hoping to punch their tickets to Indianapolis and keep their playoff hopes alive. Meanwhile, C.J. Stroud can use the rivalry game to make a statement that can result in him being the seventh Heisman winner in program history while also getting his first win over Michigan.
The Buckeyes are coming off a 43-30 road over Maryland. The Wolverines (6-4) are coming off a 19-17 comeback win over Illinois at home.
