Ohio State vs. Michigan: TV Schedule, Live Stream, Radio, Game Time and More

Fresh off the rumors that legendary head coach Urban Meyer might be headed to Ohio State, the Buckeyes all of a sudden have something to play for.

The Buckeyes, fresh off of NCAA sanctions, have gone 6-5 this season, but they did surprise then-No. 16 Illinois and then-No. 15 Wisconsin.

Since then, while the Buckeyes' defense has struggled (particularly when trying to tackle people), highly-touted freshman quarterback Braxton Miller is clearly still getting into the swing of things.

As for No. 15 Michigan, well, they've surprised everyone behind quarterback Denard Robinson and new head coach Brady Hoke, going 9-2 and coming off a 45-17 thrashing of then-No. 16 Nebraska.

They are in a position to land a spot in the Sugar Bowl.

Key Storyline: Michigan in Position to Break Ohio State's Winning Streak

Ohio State has been beating up on Michigan for a while. In fact, the Buckeyes have beaten the Wolverines seven straight times.

But now, after the Ohio State scandal and the emergence of Michigan under Robinson and Hoke, Michigan has its first opportunity in a while to turn the tables.

Ohio State, on the other hand, has a chance to at least go out on a winning note against its bitter rival.

BCS/Top 25 Implications

Ohio State is clearly out of the BCS bowl picture, and would have a hard time cracking the Top 25 even with a win over Michigan.

Michigan is battling for a chance to make it to a BCS bowl—most likely the Sugar Bowl. A loss to unranked Ohio State would decimate Michigan's chances.

What They're Saying

This may be Brady Hoke's first season as head coach of the Wolverines, but he knows a lot about the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry.

Hoke's father played at Miami (Ohio) under former Ohio State coach Woody Hayes, and even installed an actual countdown clock for this game when he was hired by Michigan.

Said Hoke, via ESPN:

"

"This game is a game that's played by people who care about their institutions. They care about the guys who are out there and care about the guys who played before them, and they'll care about either school in the future.

"That's what this game represents because of the respect."

"

Ohio State may be out of the BCS picture, but the Buckeyes are determined to continue their streak against Michigan, headed into Saturday's game on a seven-game winning streak vs. the Wolverines.

Said Ohio State defensive lineman Johnathan Hankins, via The Detroit Free Press:

"

"Keeping the streak alive -- it's something we have to fight for. Hopefully, we're not going to be that first team to lose. We're going to prepared hard this week."

"

Ohio State Player to Watch: Braxton Miller, QB

Freshman quarterback Braxton Miller may not be the best player on the football field for the Buckeyes now, and he's being held on a short leash by head coach Luke Fickell, but he is supposed to be their future after Terrelle Pryor.

Headed into this season, Miller was one of the top quarterback prospects in America, and it won't be long before fans are going to want to see more from him.

Miller needs to show progress each and every week, and he has a chance to make an impression against Michigan in a historic rivalry.

Michigan Player to Watch: Denard Robinson, QB

You weren't expecting someone else, were you?

D Rob may not be the best pocket passer in the land (completing just 53 percent of his throws this season for 15 touchdowns and 14 interceptions), but his running ability and big-play ability makes him one of the most explosive players in college football.

Robinson has run for 947 yards and 14 touchdowns this season.

Key Matchup: Braxton Miller vs. Michigan Defense

Let's be clear: the Ohio State defense isn't going to be able to stop Robinson, as many foes have found out the hard way.

Ohio State is going to have to score some points.

The team does have a good running game, and quarterback Braxton Miller is a big part of that, but Miller is going to have to make some big throws, too.

Michigan is giving up 184.3 passing yards per game this season, near the top in college football.

Miller needs to have a breakout party on Saturday in Michigan.

On the Hot Seat: Michigan

There weren't very high expectations this season for Michigan coming off a disappointing 2010, but there surely are now.

Just a sniff away from reaching a BCS bowl, Michigan has a better team than Ohio State, but the Buckeyes are certainly going to bring it in a huge rivalry game.

A letdown in the last game of the regular season would be crushing for the revitalized Wolverines.

Prediction: Michigan 30, Ohio State 17
