No. 1 Ohio State Beats No. 15 Michigan, Sets up Game with No. 2 Indiana for Big Ten Title

On November 29, 2025, Ohio State Buckeyes defeated Michigan Wolverines 27-9 in Ann Arbor, snapping a four-game losing streak and earning their first win over Michigan since 2019.
Michigan's conservative play-calling limited passing attempts early with only five through two quarters, while Bryce Underwood, Michigan freshman quarterback, had an uneven game and a key interception; special teams' short 11-yard punt and an apparent Jaishawn Barham incident shifted field position.
Ohio State's box score shows Sayin was efficient with 19-for-26 for 233 yards, while Jeremiah Smith's fourth-and-5 catch was upheld on replay and Carnell Tate scored on a 50-yard touchdown.
The win likely earned Ohio State Buckeyes a CFP first-round bye, and a 20-play, 81-yard drive lasting 11:51 ended with a 23-yard field goal at 8:10 remaining.
Both teams started first-year quarterbacks in The Game, with Michigan Wolverines eliminated from Big Ten title contention and Sayin leading major college football at 79.4% completion.
