COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Urban Meyer on Monday was asked an obvious Ohio State vs. Michigan question that received an obvious answer:
"That's the history of this game," he said. "Both teams play their best."
So we're not pretending like the Buckeyes don't need every player at his best when they travel to Ann Arbor, Mich., on Saturday -- needing a win to keep their chances of making the College Football Playoff alive.
But there are key players and matchups. We'll begin highlighting some those matchups on Tuesday, and continue through Saturday. Here we're looking at players. Which Buckeyes are most important for Ohio State against Michigan?
Watch the video above to see who Doug Lesmerises, Bill Landis and Tim Bielik picked. Then give us your pick in the comments section.
