As much as Big Ten football is defined by its epic rivalries — where is that Paul Bunyan Trophy now, anyway? — even the conference’s biggest backers can admit there are some that are, well, a bit lopsided.
That actually includes the annual grudge match between Michigan football and Michigan State football; the Spartans have won 10 of the past 14, cutting the Wolverines’ edge to … 33 games (71-38-5). And yet that’s not even close to the conference's most lopsided rivalries, two of which were renewed on Saturday.
In Ann Arbor, the Wolverines hosted Indiana, which would need to win every game against the Wolverines though roughly 2070 (depending on how 2028’s absorption of half the Big 12 affects the Big 19’s divisional structure) to even the lifetime series.
