COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -Adding to the pressure and importance of the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry is that the teams have always played the last game of the season.
It’s final. There’s no disputing the winner. And the winner has bragging rights and the loser awful memories for an entire year.
Well, maybe not anymore.
Starting in 2011, “The Game” will still be the final one on the schedule. But the teams will be in opposite divisions of a 12-team Big Ten, and the conference title game will be a week later.
Finality? It’s possible that the 108th showdown could be followed by yet another meeting of divisional champion Michigan and Ohio State in just seven days.
