Michigan

Until the Wolverines show me they can beat the Buckeyes, I will choose the Scarlet and Gray. There are a lot of positives happening with that program, and this is going to be a competitive game.

This could very well be for the East Division Title. I think it will be a three team race with Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan all needing to not lose to other teams. Michigan has a chance to be in the race still at this point though I think they will have lost to Penn State and either Wisconsin or Minnesota. That would give them two Big Ten losses.

That means unless the Buckeyes are undefeated in Big Ten play the Wolverines have a shot.

With that said, Ohio State has too much talent and Michigan has too big of a monkey on their back this year. The Wolverines may be a threat to stop the Buckeye winning streak, but 2020 should see Ohio State players earning another pair of gold pants.

Early Prediction: Win

Next. 3 transfer portal players to watch at corner. dark

There you go. I see the Buckeyes going 11-1 with a chance for the Big Ten and College Football Playoffs. I see the race in 2020 being much closer and more difficult than 2019 and one Big Ten loss might be the difference.
