Which is uglier, 2007 Notre Dame or 2008 Michigan?


Hard to figure out? Here is a comparison:

2008 University of Michigan Football
  • W-L Records: 3-8 through Nov. 15
  • Best Win: 27-25 Home win against No.9 Wisconsin (September 27)
  • Worst loss: 13-10 Home loss against Toledo (October 11)
  • Quality loss: 25-23 home loss against Utah (August 30)
  • Head Coach: Rich Rodriguez (first year)
  • Notes: With a 21-14 loss to Northwestern on Saturday, Michigan fell to 3-8, the school's most losses (8) and most home losses (5) in a single-season in 129 years of Michigan football.
2007 University of Notre Dame Football
  • W-L Records: 2-9 through Nov. 17 (3-9 for the season)
  • Best Win: 20-6 at No.25 UCLA (October 6)
  • Worst loss: 38-0 at Michigan (who lost to Div 1-AA Appalachian State) (September 15)
  • Quality loss: 26-44 home loss against Navy (3OT) (November 3)
  • Head Coach: Charlie Weis (third year)
  • Notes: For the first time in school history, Notre Dame opened the season with five losses. Their nine-loss season was also a school record in 121 years of Notre Dame football.
Final Verdict:
Close call, but Michigan is a bit uglier. Michigan paid 2.5 million dollars to West Virginia for Rich Rodriguez settlement. Why in the world would Michigan want a coach that left his former team in the manner that he did?
