The No. 17 Michigan Wolverines (15-12-3) are officially on the ropes. After a series split last weekend against Penn State, Michigan fell one spot to No. 16 in the Pairwise rankings and is now two spots below the projected cut line.
Looking to strike the final blow to the Wolverines is Notre Dame (15-15-2). The Irish are currently No. 21 in Pairwise and are fresh off a four-point weekend against Minnesota. Notre Dame has been a thorn in Michigan’s side in recent memory and has even won seven of the last eight games at Yost.
