All-time Records vs 2009 opponents
I know this has no bearing on the predicted results for this year (just like everything else on this blog btw), but I did find it interesting. I always knew we dominated in the B10, but it was kind of surprising we KICKED ASS the way we did in the past against our opponents. This might be a lesson for some of the younger fans like myself (32 y/o), study thy M football history!
VS. Western Michigan M leads 4-0
VS. Notre Dame M leads 20-15-1
VS. Eastern Michigan M leads 8-0
VS. Indiana M leads 50-9 (WOW!)
VS. Michigan St. M leads 67-29-5
VS. Iowa M leads 40-10-4 (DOMINATION!!)
VS. Delaware St. Series tied 0-0
VS. Penn State M leads 10-4 (PWNED!)
VS. Illinois M leads 66-22-2
VS. Purdue M leads 41-13
VS. Wisconsin M leads 49-12-1 (Nuff said!)
VS. Ohio State M leads 57-42-6 (+15 still, ha ha)
Totals: 412 - 141 - 19 (.720)
If we ASSume this same win percentage, we should win 8.64 games this year. Hope springs eternal!

We'd also have to ASSume that this team is as good as an average Michigan team.

Great post! Let's hope we can add to that OSU differential this season.

amen...i guess? Interesting stuff. I just hope it translates to win..I'm really sick and tired of the RR...I want him to drop like a 60 bomb on MSU or ND plus pull out 8 wins just so all the "I-told-you-so" haters STFU

I don't have the opportunity to do this right now but, I'd be interested to see the same analysis done adjusted for Michigan at home and on the road.

I know that Purdue has only won twice at Michigan and it hasn't happened in a long long time. They even held us to 5 points one game, but we shut them out.
August 10th, 2009 at 1:22 PM ^
Good stuff, hopefully that 8 win season can happen this year.

VS. Indiana M leads 50-9 (WOW!)
I know! They beat us 9 times?!
With respect to the record against Ohio State... Since 2000, Ohio State has beaten us 7 of the last 9. That stings.

Does this surprise you that they're that good in the Big 10?
