Michigan’s game against Maryland was canceled after the Wolverines suspended team activities Wednesday because of an outbreak of COVID-19 that could also threaten their rivalry game against Ohio State on Dec. 12 and the Buckeyes’ chances to play for a Big Ten title.
Ohio State had to cancel its game last week at Illinois because of a spike in COVID-19 cases in its program. It was the second game the Buckeyes (4-0) have lost from their regular-season schedule - Maryland on Nov 14th the other one.
One more canceled game would leave them unable to reach the conference-mandated minimum to be eligible for the Big Ten championship game.

If Michigan vs OSU doesn't happen & OSU falls below minimum number of games to play for B1G Championship its hard to believe that CFP committee could justify extending an invitation to OSU.
