Saw this on /r/cfb, but got a big kick out of this and thought it'd make y'all laugh.

Michigan's loss to Notre Dame brings its record in road games against ranked teams to a hilarious 0-17 since 2007. This has been publicized quite a bit – and for good reason – but MGoBlog went out of their way to point out a few other B1G records in that span.

Here are the ones they pointed out:

MSU: 2-11

Penn State: 3-15

Wisconsin: 0-12

The only mention of Ohio State is that "they were going to be the obvious outlier" – which is undoubtedly true, given their 14-4 record in road games against ranked teams since 2007.

Worth noting that this only counts where the teams were ranked at the time (i.e. then-16th ranked Illinois in 2011) and that two of the losses came in the Fickell year (the Bauserman game at Nebraska and the Michigan game). The only other losses are 2010 at Wisconsin and 2008 at #1 USC.

Funny enough, of Ohio State's 14 wins over ranked road opponents over that span, just two of them are against Michigan. On the flip side, 6 of Michigan's 17 such losses in that span were against Ohio State – every single time the two teams played in The Shoe over that span.
