Ohio State, Michigan Undefeated Heading Into The Game For First Time Since 2006
When Ohio State hosts Michigan next Saturday (12 p.m. on FOX), it will be the first time since 2006 that both teams enter the final week of the regular season unbeaten.
It's also just the fourth time since the series was moved to the final week of the regular season in 1935 that both teams are unbeaten and untied, joining the 1970, 1973 and 2006 renditions of The Game.

The Buckeyes are 2-0-1 in such contests, including a 20-9 win in 1970, 10-10 tie in 1973 and the 42-39 victory in 2006, which was dubbed “The Game of the Century,” as it was the first time the teams were ranked No. 1 and No. 2.
Both Ohio State and Michigan improved to 11-0 on Saturday with wins over Maryland and Illinois on Saturday. They’ll likely meet as No. 2 and No. 3 with a trip to the Big Ten Championship Game on the line.
