Back in September 2003, Pontiac started "The Pontiac Challenge", to track the head-to-head competition between the University of Michigan and
Michigan State University for the whole school year.  They divided the school year up into 3 sessions (Fall, Winter, and Spring), and awarded a trophy
to the winner of each session, with the current winner keeping it in the case of a tie.
Not too surprisingly, UM won (or tied) every session for all 3 years that Pontiac sponsored the Challenge.  Also not too surprisingly, Pontiac lost
interest when the Challenge got too one-sided.  So, after the 2005-2006 season, they dropped it, but I picked it up.  However, I thought their setup
with the 3 sessions and a goofy scoring system could be improved, so I changed it to a single session (the whole school year), with 2 points for
each win, and 1 point for each tie.
Here are the results for the 2006-2007 school year:
