Hard as it may be to believe, the final regular-season weekend of the 2019 college football season is upon us. This weekend is followed by conference championship weekend, and the College Football Playoff field will be set on December 8.

So what is the best rivalry in college football? Some might say Alabama vs. Auburn in the Iron Bowl, but that largely only matters to fans in that state. USC-Notre Dame is a national rivalry but there is never a conference championship at stake. Likely the best, then, is Ohio State vs. Michigan, and the two face off from Ann Arbor this Saturday at noon with the Buckeyes No. 2 in the AP Top 25 and Michigan 10th.

Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh is one of the best football coaches on the planet, but he has one big monkey on his back: an 0-4 record against Ohio State. UM was a rare favorite in Columbus last year but was blown out 62-39, the Buckeyes’ seventh straight win in the series. Only pride is at stake for the Wolverines this time as OSU already is in the Big Ten title game. A loss, though, would knock the Buckeyes out of the College Football Playoff’s top spot. They are 9.5-point favorites and have covered five of their past seven in Ann Arbor.
