Historical record?

Are you having a stroke

I swear I saw so many OSU fans who said they were cheering for Michigan when they played Alabama in the playoffs a few years back.

I couldn’t imagine hardly any Bama/UGA or AU fans cheering for their big rival in a playoff or championship scenario

Big 10 record against SEC

2000s: The SEC had a 18-15 record, with a 14-12 mark in bowl games.
2010s: The SEC went 29-17 against the Big Ten, with 22-10 in bowl games.
2020s: As of early 2024, the SEC held a 5-3 record against the Big Ten, with a 5-2 record in bowl games.

It just means more.

How bout all the Ohio St fans who've claimed the rivalry is dead because of the cheating scandal? But they'll conveniently count Michigan's title so they can push the BIG supremacy angle over the last 2 seasons.

I'm constantly claiming OSU retards on twitter like this. Every single one of the dipshits who brag about "back to back B10 titles" has at least 5 posts delegitimizing Michigan's title and calling it fake

Name your rival.

Army/navy the Grand Daddy of them all!

That's what I'm talking about !

AND the game is at Michigan so we get to see the Michigan home uniforms.

Which school is more Progressive? Ohio State or Michigan? That could decide who I'm pulling for.

The only rivalry that's better is Harvard vs. Yale.

Michigan: 2 national titles since WW2 Texas: 4 Wow. That was easy

It was so easy you got it wrong.

They both have 4 in the post WW2 era with 1946 as the line of demarcation. Michigan has titles from 3 runs, Texas won 3 of their 4 in a 7 year period in the 1960s, back when they played in a hilariously weak conference that didn’t have a black player until 1966 and hardly any in 1970 as they slowly integrated. So Texas went around for decades beating up on all shitty all white teams and won AP voting contests for titles by winning the Texas Invitational at the Cotton Bowl.

In 1963, the SWC had zero other ranked teams. Arkansas was ranked in 69 and 70. Again, because they played nobody except all white programs like Baylor and Rice.

Now do

Consensus AA
Unanimous AA
Heismans
First round picks
Playoff Appearances
Major bowl appearances

Texas trails in every one of them despite playing most their history in an all white klan league with no serious contenders. I’m not sure on major bowls, think that can be parsed a number of ways depending on when league affiliations started.

Take a closer look in the post SWC life. Texas won their division just 7 times in 28 tries with only 4 conference titles in 28 years.

In that same time in post SWC era, Michigan won the big ten 8x during an era where its rival separated itself as the second most consistent program in the country behind only Alabama.

Texas just isn’t on their level.
