 I know this will PO some people, but the media allows ND to live in the past and constantly overrates them.  Look at their overall records and then look at their Bowl games...I believe they have the record for most consecutive Bowl losses...and by huge scoring differentials!

What happened to Michigan is not uncommon....The Classic Example: It happened to Oklahoma (I believe) in the Orange Bowl when the Hurricanes won their 1st Nat Championship.  Michigan came in not mentally prepared because they thought it was a "walkover" prep game.  AS came at them with everything they had and Michigan couldn't get it together until half-time (if that).  They came back well, but just couldn't quite put it back together.

Michigan is a good team with some obvious defensive weaknesses, but this was a mental prep thing...not a talent thing! mistake.gif
