Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines entered Saturday’s rivalry game at Michigan State ranked No. 6 in the country with a perfect 7-0 record.

However, Michigan State was ranked No. 8 in the nation and also had a 7-0 record. In one of the most exciting games of the year, the Spartans earned a 37-33 rivalry game victory.

That means Harbaugh’s struggles against Michigan’s 2 biggest rivals — Michigan State and Ohio State — continues to be comically bad.

He’s currently 3-9 against the Spartans and Buckeyes overall, with a 3-4 mark against Michigan State and an 0-5 mark against Ohio State:

Yes, Michigan was 7-0 entering Saturday’s game, but that hardly matters now. Harbaugh’s inability to beat the Wolverines’ biggest rivals will have fans antsy moving forward.
