ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- Tate Forcier threw four interceptions and fumbled in his own end zone, and No. 9 Ohio State took advantage to beat Michigan 21-10 Saturday for its sixth straight win in the series.
The Buckeyes (10-2, 7-1) clinched an outright Big Ten championship and will play in the Rose Bowl with a five-game winning streak.
The Wolverines started the season 4-0 and ended it 5-7. The flop came after a school-record nine-loss season in Rich Rodriguez's debut year with college football's winningest program.
Michigan has endured consecutive losing years for the first time since the 1962-63 seasons.
Forcier's first turnover came on his first drive, a fumble that Cameron Heyward recovered to give Ohio State a 7-0 lead.
The freshman threw three interceptions in the fourth quarter, ruining Michigan's chances to come back in a game it trailed 14-10 in the third.
