    (This story has been updated to reflect Indiana’s win over Michigan on Saturday. It was previously published before Saturday’s game.)

    With the first College Football Playoff rankings released Tuesday, the home stretch has begun in earnest for No. 10 Indiana football as the Hoosiers look to make their first-ever CFP appearance.

    The situation for Curt Cignetti’s team, which was in eighth place in the College Football Playoff on Tuesday, is favorable for the Hoosiers. Indiana will face two teams that have struggled mightily over the past month – including Michigan, a team that has historically had Indiana’s number.

    This Saturday, Indiana and Michigan will meet for the 73rd time. Unlike in recent years, however, Indiana is the favorite to win Saturday’s game.

    REQUIRED READING: How does IU football compare to Oregon, Ohio State? “I think they can play with anyone.”

    Here’s what you need to know about Indiana’s history against Michigan, including how many times the Hoosiers have beaten the Wolverines over the years:

    When was Indiana Football’s last win against Michigan?

    Prior to Saturday, Indiana’s last win was against Michigan on Nov. 7, 2020 — ironically the last time the Hoosiers were ranked before this season. In that Week 3 showdown, the Hoosiers emerged with a convincing 38-21 victory over the Wolverines.

    The Hoosiers never trailed in that 2020 game against the Wolverines as Indiana held a 14-7 lead after the first quarter at Memorial Stadium. Then-Indiana quarterback Michael Penix Jr. completed 30 of his 50 passes for 343 yards and three touchdowns, while Hoosiers running back Stevie Scott added two rushing touchdowns. On the day, Indiana virtually outnumbered Michigan in every statistical category, including total offense yards and first downs.

    With the win, Indiana picked up only its first win over Michigan since 1987. Prior to that win, Indiana had been on a 24-game losing skid against Michigan.

    How many times has Indiana Football beaten Michigan?

    With the Hoosiers beating the Wolverines on Saturday, Indiana has now defeated Michigan 11 times in the previous 73 meetings, with the Wolverines holding a dominant lead in the all-time series at 62-11.

    Indiana’s first win over Michigan came on October 13, 1928 in Ann Arbor, when the Hoosiers knocked off the Wolverines 6-0. It was a win for Indiana that snapped a five-game losing streak as Michigan won the first five meetings between the two programs – a streak that began in 1900.

    The Hoosiers have won back-to-back games against the Wolverines only twice, the first between the 1944 and 1945 seasons and then again between the 1958 and 1959 seasons.

    Here’s a look at when Indiana beat Michigan:

    • October 13, 1928: Indiana 6, Michigan 0
    • October 10, 1936: Indiana 14, Michigan 3
    • September 30, 1944: Indiana 20, Michigan 0
    • September 22, 1945: Indiana 13, Michigan 7

    • November 15, 1958: Indiana 8, Michigan 6

    • November 9, 2024: Indiana 20, Michigan 15
