As the program counts them in its Wikipedia article, shared titles included, and listed under each conference’s current name (a Western Conference title of the 1900s counts as a Big Ten title); season pages use the name the conference had that year. A title the article files under a conference the team wasn’t in that season is listed under the one it was. Division titles include years the team tied for its division.

Officially 642–⁠432–⁠24 since 1897 (per Wikipedia, rechecked weekly); game by game here, 614–⁠392–⁠18 (−28 wins, −40 losses, −6 ties). Our file starts in 1931; the program began in 1897. Some games are missing from our source.

No season on file for 1943–⁠45: wartime seasons, when many programs didn’t play.
