fan forum ���Michigan��� friends on this among many other stats. Bob Mack ���72 Ada, Mich. Mr. Mack, it���s getting close. Prior to the season Michigan was 895-310-36 for .73570. Notre Dame was 853-300-42 for .73138. Entering the bowls, Michigan is 903-314-36 for .73504. Notre Dame is 865-300-42 for .73405. There is a realistic chance to move up to No. 1 in 2013. Here���s the math. You take the number of games played (1,253 for U-M and 1,207 for ND) and divide it into the number of wins and half of the ties. For Notre Dame it would be 886 ��� 865 wins plus 21 (because that is half of its 42 ties). That���s the way the NCAA measures it. A tie counts as half a win, half a loss. From The WebSite A subscriber noted how one Las Vegas insider projected that Alabama will be a 9.5-point favorite against Notre Dame, and the over-under for points scored will be 41. NDDillon: Alabama would need to beat ND by a score of 25- or 26���15 for the projection to be correct. Given Notre Dame���s defense, how likely do you folks think its is that Bama will score 25 or more points? I think it is unlikely. By the way, no one will ever convince me to bet on an ND game. I tried it once and won the bet ��� but the Irish lost. Ndguy7: Low scoring game. With an NCAA record six straight national titles since WeareND76: It���s a 17-14-type game. HamonWry22: Oklahoma scored 13 on the 2006, the SEC is considered to be in a league of its Irish. Why would one expect Alabama to score own in college football. Graphic designer/illustrator twice that much? It seems likely only if ND Davis Jaye of Naperville, Ill., reflected this in this commits costly turnovers, or can���t move the drawing prior to the Dec. 1 Alabama-Georgia SEC ball at and consistently loses the field position Championship showdown. The SEC title game has battle. ��� Never bet games in which you have a been viewed as the de facto national title battle. strong, personal rooting interest, because objectivity will be hard to come by. Mr. Rice: I was objective once. I found it boring. Irish13: I believe Bama will have problems with Notre Dame���s offense, mainly with Everett Golson���s mobility. Bama had problems with Johnny Manziel, and as Coach Holtz said about Golson, ���He���s not Manziel, but he���s pretty close.��� Aceinthehole: 21-20. Two amazing teams within the red zone will keep this relatively low scoring. Ashaia: I see this game much like 1973. A three-point game, one way or the other, with both teams in the 20s. Hodges: The one critical element for ND is red-zone scoring. They have to convert them into touchdowns, not field goals. Nevertheless, I���m still looking at a low-scoring game.
