Furthest separation is
Miami who lost to some schmucks at the start of the year
New Mexico who plays completely different teams
Creighton as it appears that the Missouri Valley does not play the Big 10 at all
The Opposite
Teams with 1 degree of separation to Michigan: Indiana and Ohio State
Teams with 2 degrees of separation to Michigan: Wisconsin, Illinois, Butler, Duke, Michigan State, Kansas
Conclusion
Essentially every team in the country outside Michigan has lost to a suspect opponent or to Michigan.
