A quick word about the insane finish to Michigan-Notre Dame: Haven't seen as fun or thrilling of an inconsequential game in a long time. The reality is that neither of these teams is relevant beyond their sheer brand names -- the game was only in prime time for the novelty of the first Michigan night game (which was, to be sure, cool as hell). The finish helps rationalize the amazingness, but in the end, these two teams aren't in the Top 30 -- even if they played the most exciting game of the season thus far and set the bar for the rest of the way. There's something to be said for that as a consolation prize. Now, the poll:
