Michigan's Jaishawn Barham headbutted a referee in the Wolverines' game against Ohio State on Saturday, Nov. 29.

Michigan football has said it's in playoff mode for weeks, if not months. Those dreams are now dashed after falling to OSU, 27-9. So now what?

The Michigan Wolverines hosted the Ohio State Buckeyes in a Week 14 rivalry game. Here is a recap of the Ohio State win.

Julian Sayin threw three touchdown passes, including a 35-yarder to Jeremiah Smith on a fourth down in the second quarter, and No. 1 Ohio State beat No. 15 Michigan 27-9 in a dominant performance.

This is probably of no consolation to anyone in Ohio State world right now, but the Buckeyes only being down 6-0 after an unmitigated disaster of a start is a little dicey for Michigan. If this game was 10-0, the vibes would be so different.

Northwestern traveled to take on the Illinois Fighting Illini, and conditions were extreme on Saturday night, with a reported eight inches of snow already—the most in Gies Memorial Stadium history, according to Fox Sports.

Western Michigan has finally learned its next opponent.

No. 1 Ohio State put a bow on its perfect regular season and snapped a four-game losing streak to No. 15 Michigan with a dominant 27-9 win Saturday. The Buckeyes also secured their first Big Ten Championship Game appearance since 2021 and their first 12-0 record since 2019, coach Ryan Day's first full season leading the program.
