This thread is a blast....Bobby Blue Chip....your bashing Michigan's Bowl Record but at least we get to a bowl game unlike ND! All I have to say is most career wins!!!
Only because they've played more games and in the beginning of the Irish program, Michigan couldn't bring themselves to have to play against Catholics. Kinda like when they took ND off of the schedule a few years ago and replaced them with Bowling Green, while the Irish picked up Nebraska.
Highest % all-time is ND and unless Faust is rehired, it won't be taken over for a long time. This is through 2001. Comparing Ohio State and Michigan is a cause for debate, but Notre Dame and Michigan. It's like comparing "Saving Private Ryan" to "Jackass"
