UPDATE: Obviously, my prediction was a bit off. Who could have foreseen the complete and total incompetency (on both sides of the ball) that governed the last two minutes of the game? Or the phantom holding calls on the Notre Dame offensive line and the convenient failures to call pass interference on Mr. Donovan Warren, who was essentially mugging Golden Tate the entire game? Or the overturning of Armando Allen's touchdown run on questionable video evidence (the standard, by the way, is indisputable video evidence)? I don't like to make excuses--and Notre Dame certainly was not without fault--but Notre Dame was clearly the better team and should have easily won that game.
Although I was wrong about the final score, I'd like to point out that I'm not wrong about the Irish. They should finish the season at 10-2 and make it to a good bowl game. I look forward to next year's Weasel Stomping Day.
I'll get this prediction over quickly. Notre Dame is going to beat Michigan badly today. Michigan's secondary cannot cover the lethal combination of Michael Floyd, Golden Tate, and Kyle Rudolph. Notre Dame's linebackers are going to have a field day with Michigan's stupid spread option. Look for Notre Dame to jump ahead early and stay ahead.
Also, in researching this match-up, I came across some interesting information. Did you know that the wolverine--the mascot of the University of Michigan is also often referred to as a skunk bear? It's no better than a carnivorous weasel, really. If you've ever been to Michigan, you're probably not surprised that its population might choose to associate itself with such a lowly creature. And what does one do with a weasel? Why, you put on your weasel-stomping boots!
