When Pennsylvania backed out of the Big 33 Football Classic in 2012 (on a four-game skid, I might add), leadership within the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association (OHSFCA) knew there was only one state to turn to as a replacement.

Today at 1 p.m., the inaugural Ohio–Michigan Border Classic will go down at the University of Findlay's Donnell Stadium and the sons of Ohio will collide with the sons of Michigan.

Taking the field for Team Ohio will be two Ohio State class of 2014 commitments, Erick Smith and Marshon Lattimore, both of Cleveland's Glenville Academy. Smith will play defensive back and Lattimore will play wide receiver.

In all, 40 players committed to FBS universities will be in action, including 12 pledged to Big Ten schools.

Your rosters are below. For live updates, follow @KyleRowland.
