S.hit like this makes people dislike Notre Dame.

Even Alabama didn't get this much love when Saban took over. The pollsters were still conservative with their estimates.

But that's what you get. Notre Dame was the bandwagon team on the 80's. They are catering to the masses.

Safe to say Notre Dame is relevant unlike what Rick Reilly said.

The hysteria is always relevant.

Until you get in a BCS bowl you're not necessarily back, Irish.

Unless two decades of mediocrity have lowered your standards...then yes you're back!!

Two BCS bowls since 05, granted they were both losses. Is that good enough?

That's right. Forgot about those two.

Didn't they have like 3 or 4 losses one season and still got a bcs bid?

Broncos -3.5 +220

400/880
