Every year this is said. Can't remember the last time it was actually true. 2 years ago Michigan was ranked in the top 20 after beating ND. After a 3-9 season the year before, they did not deserve to be anywhere near the top 20. It was straight downhill after that ranking. This coming from a Michigan fan. I don't think either team will be ranked too high depending the winner this season. I think both teams deserve to be somewhere near the top 25.
