Today we preview Week 13.

Game of the Week: #24 Michigan 8 (7-5) @ #1 Ohio State (12-0)

This is a bad year for Rich Rodriguez to try to get off to a good start in the nation's biggest college-football rivalry. The Wolverines are a top-25 team on talent, yet they have a tough schedule and a lot to learn and change in little time.

Ohio State is the most talented team in the country and it also has the experience and knowledge of the system that Michigan will lack this year. The Buckeyes roll in their final regular season game before the BCS National Championship, winning 95 percent of the time and by an average score of 35-8.
