Purdue now has the most wins as an unranked team over a top 2 opponent of any program in the country ever with 9.

Based upon review of various sources, here's what I think is the list (in descending chronological order):

'21 @ Iowa (2)
'18 Ohio State (2)
'84 Ohio State (2)
'76 Michigan (1)
'74 @ Notre Dame (2)
'60 @ Minnesota (1)
'57 @ Michigan State (1)
'53 Michigan State (2)
'50 @ Notre Dame (1)
