My biggest fears after two games

I am as excited as everyone else about the win on Saturday; however I can't help but feel that something awful is just around the corner.  I mean we did beat Wisconsin last year to get our hopes up.  This ND victory could be a fluke.  It doesn't look or feel like a fluke, but Forcier is just a freshman, he could fall apart.

First scenario that I fear.  ND unloads their frustrations on Michigan State and we in turn lose to the Spartans.  This is a very likely scenario and one that would have ND fans saying "see we were robbed", and of course "we are better than Michigan".  As long as we finish out with enough wins for a bowl game, I could live with this happening, but it would sting especially after such a great victory.

Second Scenario, we win out until Ohio State.  Then we proceed to lose a heart breaker at home to Tressel again similar to 2006 in the Shoe.  The pain from being so high and falling so far.  Also, after witnessing the first two games and all the newly created buzz not that far of a stretch anymore.  I think I would prefer to lose to MSU and Wisconsin this year (they owe us one) and beat the buckeyes at home.  Still a scenario I could live with since being so low last year.

Third Scenario, ND beats MSU, we lose to MSU, Wisconsin, Iowa, Penn State, and Ohio State.  Also a feasible scenario.  At 7-5, right where most would have predicted we'd fall this year, but still painful after being so hyped after ND.

I am truly not trying to be a pessimist, but rather a realist about what could lie around the corner for us.  What does Karma have in store for us?
