<p>2009 Michigan football: 5-7 (1-7 in conference)
2009 Duke football: 5-7 (3-5 in conference) </p>
<p>They’re more similar in football lately than you’d think! 
(Of course, I realize historically Michigan is far superior to Duke.)</p>
<p>2009-10 Duke basketball: 35-5 (13-3) National Champions
2009-10 Michigan basketball: 15-17 (7-11)</p>
<p>In other words, Michigan basketball seemed to fare better than their football team this year…better winning percentage, especially in conference. I’d take a national championship team and a slightly below .500 team way over two slightly below .500 teams.</p>
