    I really really really do not care for Notre Dame at all -but- their two losses are to the #2 and #3 teams in the nation...there's no shame in that. Like I said in the "Rematch" thread though, no way do they deserve another shot at Michigan in the Rose Bowl. If they must be in a BSC bowl at all, match them up with Boise State in the Fiesta.

    I do think their bowl game will be the telling story of this ND team. No way I want to see them get matched up against Michigan(UM destoys them again) let's see them against Florida, or Louisville. If they get their butts handed to them again, then they are overrated.

    This why I can't stand college football.

    There is no way to tell how good a team is because there are 600 teams, 40 conferences.

    Thank goodness it is Sunday and we can watch real football where 30 yard field goals aren't nail-biters, nor are they blocked 30 percent of the time.

    I read an article yesterday where one of the bowl directors was saying he didn't care about records when it came to considering Notre Dame because they always have a quality team.

    What is he speaking, there, French?

    You guys watch the 13th graders, I'll take the college graduates.

    Notre Dame has no defense at all. None. And every time they face a team that matches them in athletic ability, they fold and get beat by double digits.

    You can beat all the "bowl eligible" teams you want, but until you step up and beat a top level team, you're overrated if you're the 6th ranked team.

    Did they beat Michigan, Arkansas, Texas, or LSU? No. The best team they beat all year was Georgia Tech, a team that belongs in the 18-25 range. How's that a good resume for a team ranked that high?

    Dude, you keep missing the point. Your logic is seriously flawed. You're saying that the teams they beat weren't very good, therefore they must not be very good. That just doesn't make any sense. You can say the same thing you're saying about several of the teams in the top 20.

    Hate to interupt a good Notre Dame argument... but is there something wrong with a team losing to Ohio University? Last time I checked they had a pretty decent record and won their divison in the MAC. This is not the OU of the 1980's!

    College and the NFL are too different games, and Bill Billichek made the big calls, ie going for it on 4th down. So far what has he won at Notre Dame? That same arguement can be applied to Jerry Narron as well, he played the game and I didn't. Yet I can point out that pitching Ryan Franklin repeatedly is a bad idea.
    Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.

    I have two parents who are OU alums, and I have a sister currently attending. I get an earful of the Gospel According to Frank™ on a weekly basis.

    Ohio has something really special going on up at Athens. They play a tough and physical brand of football that the MAC just hasn't seen in while. The conference has been dominated by spread offenses like the ones run at Toledo and Miami for so long that nobody is prepared to stop a i-back attack like the one Ohio runs with McRae.

    They run right at you, get a lead, and then kill the clock all while playing solid defense. Solich has done a tremendous job there, and he deserves to get the full support of the administration to keep it going.

    Re: Most overrated FB team of all time

    You betcha ND was overrated. They started out at #2, don't forget, were just blitzkreiged by UM and USC, rubbed their beads hard enough to pull games out of their butts against UCLA and Michigan State, and rolled against some really bad, stat padding teams most of their second half of the season. The only reason they have been in the top 10 all year is because they are the "Golden Domers." Their D is an absolute joke, as both UM and USC exposed big time. Glad to see them get it handed to them last night, which was what I expected.

    That's not what I'm saying. ND beat lesser teams, big deal, so did many other schools. When they played top competition, they got hammered. Several teams in the top 20 held their own against fellow top teams, whereas Notre Dame was out-everything-ed.

    Who'd Michigan beat this year? I mean ND is obviously no good, so that's not a quality win. Wisconsin is ranked in the top-10 now, and I don't see any good wins on their schedule.

    That said. ND doesn't deserve to go to a BCS bowl this year, either. But there are many ranked teams that have light schedules. And OSU should handle whoever they match up against, they have an incredibly talented team.
