"While Ohio State doesn’t have as many total wins or national titles as their arch-rivals at Michigan"

Yeah, man...if only we could've padded our win totals and NCs by fielding teams with pros and whooping up on Albion, Beloit, Ohio Northern, Case, Physicians & Surgeons, American Medical and Kalamazoo (all actual claimed wins, look it up, it's just the tip of the iceberg) back in the nineteen-aughts...

I wonder who Michigan A.C. was, they beat them 74-0 and 68-0 in 1893....:lol:

Your link actually says it was Detroit A.C. by scores of 6-0 and 26-0, which wikipedia confirms and links to the “Deltas” of the Detroit Athletic Club:

Yeah, I saw that too; I didn't post it since the scores were only 6-0 and 26-0.

Go to the previous year (i.e. 1892): https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/michigan/1892-schedule.html

If A.C. stands for athletic club, Michigan A. C. might be the Michigan Athletic Club which was probably a campus intramural team....:lol:

Well that’s a horse of a different color! Wikipedia calls the the 1892 opponent the “Michigan Athletic Association team from Detroit,” so presumably an even more rag-tag bunch than the fancy boys from the DAC.

I realize tik tok wasn't a thing when Tress introduced the countdown clock 20 some years ago, but I'm pretty sure he didn't have players at the Woody doing the equivalent of making videos about not knowing what the play is.

"What have you done to beat Michigan today?" Worked my fucking ass off in the weight room, Coach.

"What have you done to beat Ohio State today?" Me and dude did a tik tok where we stared at each other because we didn't know the play. Funny, huh?

It's just more of the same, outlining the differences between Ohio State and them... Ohio State is about work, drive, effort, blood, sweat and tears. They're about slogans, gimmicks, the path of least resistance.

Fuck.
Them.

I'm pretty sure there is a highschool team or a few on their claimed record too and some team they taught the game that morning

There absolutely is "Ann Arbor High School" in there. I haven't counted all the wins to confirm that it's included in their win total, but I'd bet up to $50 that they do count it. I think Nebraska also counts a win against a high school.
There's no way for me to confirm or deny the "some team they taught the game that morning", but I have heard of that. Except I didn't hear that it was a one-time occurrence. This was standard operating procedure. They'd get on the train, ride out to Albion to teach the Albion Medical College team how to play football. Then they'd brag about averaging a "point a minute".

They list at least 2 high school teams:

Ann Arbor HS (MI) 1-0-0
Grand Rapids HS (MI) 1-0

and they lost to a team of drunk alcoholics from Cleveland.....:lol:

Cleveland AA (OH) 0-1-0

To be fair, Ohio State's schedule is very similar.

Dave Revsin’s book provides an interesting look at the game prior to the NCAA. Any true account of “college football” should begin at 1906 or 1920, by which time the rules were well defined to include who was eligible to play.

By the same reasoning, such accounting should probably end with this year’s SCOTUS decision and the death of the NCAA. And no, that doesn’t mean I’m against players being paid, just that it completely changes who is in charge of the game and the rules by which all are supposed to play.
