	None.  Michigan lost to Iowa 10-12, and tied Illinois 3-3 (both
away games).  The closest other game that they played was a 28-24 win
over Nebraska in a bowl game.  

	Other than that, their smallest margins of victory were 8 points
(over Notre Dame), 10 points (over Ohio State), 20 points (over Maryland),
AND ON UP (27, 27, 31, 31, 41, 47).  And they didn't have a weak schedule.
