Irish,
I've documented Michigan's troubles and will honestly point out that they have most likely fallen from the very top tier teams. But I truly believe that they are better positioned than ND is and the gap between the two is bigger than you would like to admit.
It's now 10:19 am and Michigan could very well suck right now in some people's estimation, but that just means ND sucks worse 
In my memory, ND has been a very worthy adversary over the years. Some crushing defeats and some dramatic wins. Prior to 2003, I can't really recall an ND vs. Michigan game that wasn't a competitive game, if not a nail-biter. Even in 1999, when Michigan was clearly better than ND, it came down to the final drive. These last 4 years have included 3 routes by Michigan. I would consider chalking up #4 this September.
