Michigan Football: 3 Takeaways from Wolverines new 2020 schedule

Michigan vs Ohio State will still be the same

When it comes to Michigan and Ohio State, it doesn’t matter when or where the game is played. The rivalry is going to be the same and I still think that matchup decides the Big Ten East in 2020.

Obviously, Ohio State will be the heavy favorite to beat Michigan and everyone else in the Big Ten this season. They are the dominant team in the league and until the Wolverines actually beat them, it’s hard to believe it will actually happen.

This will be the first time since 1998 that Michigan isn’t playing its final regular-season game against the Buckeyes. U-M made a trip over to Hawaii to play a 12th game that year.

Other than that, it hasn’t happened this century. So it’s going to be interesting. But when October 24th rolls around, no one will care that it’s not the final game of the season.

Hell, it wouldn’t matter if that was the only game of the season in 2020. When it’s Michigan and Ohio State, the only thing that matters is winning — not when the game is played.
