Notre Dame Fighting Irish football
Michigan is considered Notre Dame's first and oldest rivalry, first meeting back in 1887, although the two teams did not play each other for many years. The series has been quite frequent in the near past since the rivalry was reunited beginning in 1978. It is heightened by the two schools' competition for all-time win percentage, which Michigan leads again since 2016. The most recent meeting in 2018 was won by Notre Dame 24-17 in South Bend. Michigan leads the all-time series 24–17–1, with 6 of the Wolverine victories coming before 1900. Since the first 8 games, which were perceived as "exhibitions," Notre Dame leads the series 17-16-1. Throughout the 20th century, Notre Dame truly ascended to the top school in college football, superseding Michigan. In this time, Notre Dame has won 8 service wire poll while Michigan has only won 2. This changing of the guard has fuelled the bitterness between the two schools. The rivalry is further heightened due to the fact that in the 20th century Michigan attempted to blackball Notre Dame from competing in the sport; this has often been attributed to native racism from Michigan's head coach Fielding Yost. This exclusion from the Big Ten, however, has attributed greatly to Notre Dame's conference independence and national branding.
