Something else to think about....
Part of the reason ND has become more or less irrelevant is because an entire generation of people (born in the early 90s) have no memory of ND ever being competitive on the national scene.
Tress, of course, went 9-1 against Michigan from 2001 - 2010. Obviously, Ohio State lost this year, making the record 9-2 since 2001.
Now, if Meyer is able to do what we all think he's going to do - and if Meyer has a 10 year run like Tress (which is no guarantee, of course, 9-1 is not something I feel comfortable expecting) we will have a 21 year run from 2001 where Ohio State beats Michigan 18 times in 21 tries.
That's an entire generation of kids born about the year 2000 who will have no memory of Michigan beating Ohio State with any regularity.
It's easy to sit here in 2011 and contemplate a scarlet colored future - but... it is fun to think about. :)
