How we count
Records are summed once per game on this schedule, so an opponent who shows up twice is counted twice. Before playing Michigan State uses only that opponent's games completed before the kickoff. vs. Michigan State is the opponents' combined record in those head-to-head games. After playing Michigan State uses only games completed later. Total adds the three together. Canceled, postponed, and vacated games are excluded. Winning percentage counts a tie as half a win.
Completed games only, including the postseason. Exhibition games are left out. A neutral site does not change who won.
