Photo: Carlos Osorio/Associated PressCollege football’s biggest game of the season features two undefeated teams in Saturday’s latest edition of one of the sport’s great rivalries.

The Ohio State Buckeyes visit the Michigan Wolverines and the winner will be a strong contender to play for a national championship.
