A brief history of how Michigan football has fared against the new Big Ten teams

The Big Ten Conference will welcome four new members in the 2024-2025 academic year as UCLA, USC, Washington, and Oregon join the illustrious conference. Historically, the Michigan Wolverines have met with these teams in some huge matchups, including a National Championship Game and 13 Rose Bowls. Let’s dig into some of the history behind these programs:

Michigan Wolverines vs. Washington Huskies

  • Record: 9-5
  • Rose Bowl: 2-2

Michigan has played Washington more than any of the other new teams joining the Big Ten. Their first matchup was back in 1953, but the teams also met four times in the Rose Bowl over time and — not that anyone has forgotten — the 2024 National Championship.
