As the game-winning field goal headed towards the uprights at Ohio Stadium, the Michigan State Spartans dashed both the Buckeyes’ and the Michigan Wolverines’ chances of heading to the College Football Playoff.
With a soft schedule, the Buckeyes will not overcome the one loss as they will not play in the Big Ten Championship game and have no more opportunities for quality wins. The Wolverines needed an Ohio State win for their final regular season game to be meaningful, as a Michigan win over the Buckeyes would have placed them in the Big Ten Championship game.
Aside from moving up and down the ranks for a certain bowl game, this year’s game is strictly based on pride. Michigan has plenty of reasons to take out their frustrations on the Buckeyes this Saturday at Michigan Stadium in the fourth most expensive college football tickets of the weekend on the secondary market according to SeatSmart.com.
Michigan tickets currently have an average ticket price of $319.07 with a get-in price of $161. There’s no telling how far the average price will fall for tickets to see the Buckeyes, as the price fell from $393.10 (November 22nd) to $319.07 (November 21st). The days leading up to the game will be very telling in terms of showing how meaningful this game is to the Michigan fans. It is also a holiday weekend, as students may choose to change their plans in light of the fact that the game has lost some of its luster.
The three games more expensive than Saturday’s game at Michigan Stadium are Auburn hosting Alabama, Nebraska hosting Iowa and Oklahoma State hosting Oklahoma.
The Buckeyes aren’t planning on disciplining running back Ezekiel Elliott for his postgame comments after the loss. Elliot blamed the play calling for the 17-14 loss against Michigan State, a game in which he had only 12 carries for 33 yards and one touchdown. Elliot is accustomed to performing in big games, carrying the ball 36 times for 246 yards with four touchdowns in last season’s National Championship game after rushing 20 times for 230 yards and two touchdowns in the College Football Playoff Semifinal against Alabama.
