difference between No. 1 Michigan and No. 2 Notre Dame on the all-time col- lege football chart after the weekend of Oct. 27 when the Irish improved to 8-0 with a victory at Oklahoma and the Wolver- ines fell to 5-3 with a loss to Nebraska. Notre Dame would need to finish 13-0 and Michigan 7-6 this year for the Irish to move back to No. 1 (which they were until 2003), but it has made up some ground this year after the Wol- verines were 11-2 last year com- pared to the 8-5 ledger of the Irish.
