Michigan has tried to ride the ND bandwagon with their OOC schedule for a long time. Have you looked at the future OOC schedule for Mich? Of note they have Arky, VT and UCLA. That is OK but not very good as other than VT those are not very good teams traditionally.Last 10 years: Year - Opponent - Final Rank
Ohio State:
2003: Bowling Green - #23
2005: Texas - #1
2006: Texas - #13
2007: USC - #2
2008: USC - #23
Michigan:
2005: Notre Dame - #11
2006: Notre Dame - #19
2007: Oregon - #23
2008: Utah - #2
2012: Alabama - #1, Notre Dame - #3
Looks as though Michigan's as a whole has been tougher.
As far as your post about tOSU and the end rankings, tOSU cant control that but they can control when like USC, TX and Miami (who you misses) were all scheduled when they were top 5 or in a NC game.
