A week removed from the biggest win of its undefeated season, it's right back to business for the Michigan Wolverines. Coming off a commanding 22-point victory in Ohio State's own house, Michigan looks to boost its College Football Playoff seeding with a win over Purdue in the Big Ten Championship.
Michigan secured its East Division crown thanks to a 28-3 run against the Buckeyes last week, dropping Ohio State out of the top four and moving the Wolverines to No. 2 in the latest rankings. A win over the Boilermakers would secure Michigan's second trip to the CFP in as many seasons.
While the Wolverines arrive at Saturday's game largely on the back of one of the best rushing games in the country, Michigan will have to face Purdue without Blake Corum. Corum, who was in the mix for this year's Heisman and has scored 18 rushing touchdowns this season, is expected to miss the rest of this season after undergoing knee surgery.
