ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The Game has lost a lot of luster. Ohio State has beaten Michigan five straight times, its best winning streak and the longest in the series since the 1920s. The ninth-ranked Buckeyes (9-2, 6-2 Big Ten) have already clinched at least a share of their fifth straight conference title and a spot in the Rose Bowl. Michigan (5-6, 1-6) is mired in another miserable year – coming off a school-record nine-loss season – and is nearly a two-touchdown underdog to lose Saturday at home to guarantee consecutive losing records for the first time since 1962-63. Ohio State coach Jim Tressel, though, insisted those factors haven't diminished the rivalry. "That would never occur to the participants," Tressel said.
