Urban Meyer: Calling MSU A Rival Would 'Diminish' Michigan Rivalry

Michigan State and Ohio State will face off this weekend in East Lansing.

It's a huge game that pits two teams who are bidding for the top spot in the Big Ten's east division.

ESPN's College Gameday will be in East Lansing and all eyes will be on the Spartans and the Buckeyes.

After Ohio State's win over Illinois on Saturday, Buckeye QB J.T. Barrett said, "This is why you come to Ohio State, to go play Michigan State at Michigan State."

Buckeye head coach Urban Meyer didn't exactly echo those comments on Monday.

According to MLive.com Meyer says the Buckeyes only have one rival [Michigan] and said, "they stood in the way last year and we failed.''

This will most likely be bulletin board material for the Spartans this Saturday. Game time is 8 p.m.
