Could the College Football Playoff see the first-ever postseason edition between Ryan Day's Ohio State Buckeyes and Sherrone Moore's Michigan Wolverines?

The Wolverines hold a better overall record in their historic rivalry with the Buckeyes, boasting a tally of 62-51-6. However, since 2000, the Buckeyes have largely dominated the matchup, with a record of 17-7 against Michigan. In recent years though, particularly over the last four seasons, the tide seems to be shifting back in favor of Michigan.

Judkins, who transferred from Ole Miss last offseason, has inserted himself as one of the top playmakers for the Buckeyes this season. Since the 13-10 loss to Michigan that ended their regular season, Ohio State has been on a tear — beating Tennessee, Oregon and Texas by a combined 59 points.
