Michigan football doesn’t like Ohio State.
It’s a statement that certainly is not “new” to the Wolverines’ fanbase — or anyone who knows anything about college football — but it was one that was reaffirmed in front of the entire world on Monday, in an entirely different arena.
During Monday night’s WWE Monday Night Raw at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, a sign appeared on the Netflix live stream that pointed out the Wolverines’ streak vs. Ohio State: “1,864 DAYS SINCE OSU BEAT MICHIGAN,” the sign read.
The sign, of course, is in reference to the Wolverines’ dominance against the Buckeyes over the last four year on the gridiron — all of which has come under Ryan Day’s tenure at Ohio State.
Michigan’s win streak began on Nov. 27, 2021 with a 42-27 romp over Ohio State at Michigan Stadium. The Wolverines then followed that up with a 45-23 win in 2022, a 30-24 victory in 2023 and then this season’s 13-10 win on Nov. 30, 2024. Over the course of its four-game win streak, Michigan has not only outscored Ohio State 130-84, but also kept the Buckeyes out of the College Football Playoff twice.
Of the Wolverines’ last four wins against the Buckeyes, perhaps none is more historic than the most recent, when Sherrone Moore’s squad upset Day’s Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium after being a near 20-point underdog. Moore improved his record to 2-0 against the Buckeyes, with his first win coming in 2023 when he served as Michigan’s interim head coach. Meanwhile, the Wolverines made Day just the fourth coach in Buckeyes’ history to lose four consecutive games to Michigan.
To make Michigan’s win this year even sweeter, Ohio State was eliminated from competing in the Big Ten championship game — and potentially earning a first-round bye to the College Football Playoff. The Buckeyes, however, made the CFP as an at-large, and will compete in Friday’s Cotton Bowl semifinal for a chance at the national championship game.
The Wolverines will look to extend their win streak to five against the Buckeyes on Saturday, Nov. 29 at The Big House in Ann Arbor.
