Michigan 45, Notre Dame 14

Michigan beat a top-10 team. I normally don’t pay much attention to rankings. I pay attention to teams. So when people make a big deal about “Jim Harbaugh has a 1-10 record against top-10 teams at Michigan” or whatever the hell that stat is/was, it just doesn’t mean much to me. What’s his overall record? And has he beaten PSU, MSU, Wisconsin, and OSU? And Notre Dame? Those are the teams you can count on year in and year out to be good to great, and those are the measuring stick games. Sometimes they’re the top-10 squads and sometimes they’re not, but rankings are so subjective that they just don’t matter to me.

Happy Notre Dame Day!

SITE NEWS: I apologize for not posting a Notre Dame preview. It’s been a busy week. I worked 11 hours on Monday, 14 hours on Tuesday, 12 hours on Wednesday, 17 hours on Thursday, and 15 hours on Friday. Just your standard 5-day, 69-hour work week.

My prediction isn’t very rosy, anyway. I’m picking Notre Dame in a 28-24 victory.

I hope I’m wrong.

Gentry is expected to go on his Mormon mission after high school, so he probably wouldn’t enroll until 2022.

He’s a 4-star, the #14 weakside end, and #299 overall. Only two crystal ball picks have been made so far: one for Florida and one for FSU. This is an official visit.
