POTW, 2012.2 and ND

.
THE KNOWLEDGE shall use the bye week next week to congratulate all the winners of THE CHALLENGE 2012.1 and this current edition 2012.2, and award them the status of Protege of the week. At that very time, THE KNOWLEDGE shall also talk about the state of the future and of the Big Ten
.
yes
.
THE CHALLENGE 2012.2 is now open. Correctly predict the score of the Michigan-ND game to be the POTW
.
THE KNOWLEDGE shall now provide some comments and pointers to the game to aid in the predictions
.
yes
.
Before the Alabama game, everyone knew Michigan would lose, and they were correct - although not regarding how lopsided the score would be (the combination of oversigning and referees playing for Alabama made it worse than people assumed). THE KNOWLEDGE did not debut THE CHALLENGE that week because the pointers would have demoralized the fans
.
This week, everyone predicts a loss to ND as well
.
yes
.
It may be worth remembering that THE KNOWLEDGE has revealed a 2 loss season for Michigan. THE KNOWLEDGE has not yet mentioned whether that second loss will be in the Big Ten regular season, or in the postseason, or out of conference
.
Just that there is another loss this season
.
That loss will not happen this week
.
yes
.
Pointers to the game:

  • Michigan will win
  • Notre Dame will lose
  • Michigan's defense will yield many yards to the ND run game
  • Michigan's passing offense will bamboozle ND

.

yes
.
