Things weren’t exactly pretty for Ohio State this past weekend in their win over Maryland, but the same can be said for basically every top team in the country. The Buckeyes emerged victorious nonetheless, and now face the biggest regular season game for the program in quite some time. Michigan and Ohio State both enter The Game undefeated with a B1G title appearance and potential College Football Playoff berth on the line. We will find out which team reigns supreme on Saturday, but which individual players have performed the best to this point?
