Michigan's Derrick Moore mocks Ohio State's title, saying their loss to the Wolverines in 2025 made their championship run less legit.

Michigan's Derrick Moore scoffed at rival Ohio State's national title last season, saying, "It's not a real win if y'all didn't beat us."

The Big Ten owns the last two college football national championships, with Michigan and Ohio State claiming titles in 2023 and 2024, respectively. But despite the Buckeyes' recent national crown, their ongoing losing streak to the Wolverines in The Game -- now at four consecutive defeats -- still looms large in the rivalry.

With talks of College Football Playoff expansion, a holding pattern continues formation between the Big Ten and other Power 4 conferences. The Big Ten wants four automatic bids in its proposal, while the SEC, ACC and Big 12 are fine moving forward with five auto-bids and the rest at-large if the 12-team field moves to 14 or 16 in the future.

The future of a proposal for automatic bids in the College Football Playoff could reshape Ohio State's aggressive nonconference scheduling philosophy.

The Ohio State Buckeyes (+525 at BetMGM) are looking to defend their national championship, but it's the Texas Longhorns at +500 who are the favorites to win the College Football Playoff at BetMGM sportsbooks.
