MHSAA football playoff game scores, updates, schedule from the state finals in 2025 Michigan high school football tournament at Ford Field in Detroit.

As Michigan State athletic director J Batt avoided reporters, football coach Jonathan Smith said he does not yet know if he will return in 2026.

The Ohio State Buckeyes beat Michigan 27-9 to snap the four-game rivalry losing streak. See highlights from The Game here:

Michigan football has said it's in playoff mode for weeks, if not months. Those dreams are now dashed after falling to OSU, 27-9. So now what?

Cass Tech and Detroit Catholic Central entered the postseason as the top two teams in the final MLive Top 25 as well as No. 1 and No. 2 in the final Division 1 AP rankings. Opening kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET on Sunday, November 30 with a live TV broadcast on NFHS Network.

Free Press sports writer Rainer Sabin highlights the best and worst performances from Michigan football’s 27-9 loss to Ohio State.

Alessio Milivojevic delivered pinpoint passes behind their protection, his receivers making one big play catch after another. The Spartans’ run game ripped off big gains. The defense bending, but not breaking.

Rivalry weekend once again delivered great drama and high stakes in the conclusion to college football's regular season.

Ohio State football coach Ryan Day didn't lay into his critics and haters as some might have expected after the Buckeyes' win vs. Michigan.

Ohio State is no longer straying from its strengths, and Ryan Day is finally trusting himself. A 12-0 record and, finally, a win against Michigan are the proof.
