After the weekend in college football, which included a Duke win over Northwestern, snapping their 22 game losing streak, here are a few season records to date, as Scrapper Nation has pointed out:

• Duke 1-2
• Michigan 1-2
• Notre Dame 0-3

What are the odds of that? Sure, Micigan’s will likely be better in a few weeks, but I’m not so sure about Notre Dame.

Duke travels to Notre Dame in November, and the two may have very similar records at that time. Is it possible? Should Duke fans dare to dream of a win in South Bend???

Regardless, after watching Michigan beat down the Irish and USC pummel a ranked Nebraska team in Omaha this weekend, how ugly is the USC-ND game in October going to be?

And, one more thing - it’s time for Lou Holtz to retire from television. He said on the air last Thursday night - he actually said this - that if Notre Dame loses to Michigan, it would be hard for the Irish to return to a BCS bowl for the third straight year. Hard? How about impossible. It wasn’t going to happen if they beat Michigan, but it’s certainly not happening with a loss. The man has lost his mind. And nobody in his current role on ESPN should be able to reference a team using the pronoun “we” on the air, no matter how long they coached at the school.
