The Big Ten owns the last two college football national championships, with Michigan and Ohio State claiming titles in 2023 and 2024, respectively. But despite the Buckeyes' recent national crown, their ongoing losing streak to the Wolverines in The Game -- now at four consecutive defeats -- still looms large in the rivalry.

The heated rivalry between the Michigan and Ohio State football teams reached a new intensity last fall following the Wolverines' 13-10 win over the Buckeyes. In celebration of the victory, several Michigan players took the team's flag to midfield and planted it on Ohio State's logo.
