Kirk Herbstreit: Ohio State vs. Michigan is 'winner-take-all, the way it's supposed to be'

Kirk Herbstreit is excited for Ohio State vs. Michigan.

But the former Ohio State quarterback admitted Saturday's edition of the OSU-Michigan game could be the last of its kind.

"This is what Ohio State and Michigan fans dream about, honestly," Herbstreit said on ESPN's "College GameDay" Saturday. "These last few years where undefeated vs. undefeated. Two vs. three, winner-take-all. And I'll tell you something: with the 12-team playoff, enjoy this one because if this is next year and you lose, you're not out of anything. It's like NCAA March Madness. You go from being a one-seed to a three or four. So this year, let's embrace this. Winner-take-all the way it's supposed to be."
