For the first time since 1942, the Ohio State vs. Michigan football game will not be played as a part of the last scheduled regular-season Big Ten conference game of the year.
The Big Ten released the complete much-anticipated conference-only football schedule on Wednesday and what stood out more than anything was that the Buckeyes and Wolverines will not match up on the last Saturday in November, but instead in week eight on October 24.
It appears as though the conference is trying its best to make sure the game is played, yet is put on the schedule at a point in which both teams have some games under their belt so that it has more significant meaning as well.
Michigan – Ohio State will be played in week 8 on October 24. #GoBucks #GoBlue

So mark your calendars so you can get ready to cross out all those M’s, and move all those traditions normally scheduled for late November, to a week prior to October.
