Michigan 2006 (11-1, only loss by 3 points to No. 1 OSU) was a lot better loss than Michigan 2019 (9-3, with losses by 4 touchdowns to OSU and by 3 touchdowns to 10-2 Wisconsin).

The USC loss [EDIT-typo] was to a team then ranked No. 3 (and No. 2 after the game).

Timing also matters. Losing to Michigan by a ton in the middle of the season threw ND way back, and there just haven't been a lot of teams that have lost such that they would fall behind ND.

Also, ND was ranked No. 12 at this point in 2006. So it really isn't *that* different.
