No. 1 Ohio State, Day desperately seeking victory against 15th

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Ryan Day , perhaps more than anyone on the Big House turf, needs to win The Game.

Defending champion and top-ranked Ohio State (11-0, 8-0 Big Ten) would not get knocked out of the College Football Playoff if they lose a fifth straight game to 15th-ranked Michigan (9-2, 7-1) on Saturday.
