Notes

1. Michigan State self-forfeited all wins in the 1994 season, resulting in Indiana's 1994 loss to Michigan State being retroactively changed to a win.
2. On December 1, 2016, Indiana announced that Kevin Wilson had been dismissed due to "philosophical differences", and that Tom Allen would permanently succeed Wilson as head coach, beginning at the bowl game.
