[quote=Bigsmc;897617]It is way too early to discuss the title game, but as a fan of ND, I assume you have watched their games? If so, you will know deep down that ND is not running the table.

If Oregon is undefeated, they are in the game. It would mean they have beaten USC twice, as well as Stanford down the stretch. The other team will be the SEC title winner. KSU is the team that should be worried right now. They will need Oregon or Bama and FL to come out of the season with a loss, if they manage to run the table.

ND v Bama would not be the biggest title game in a long long time. People will be tuning out in droves when Bama is rolling ND by halftime. Not to worry, ND will have 2 to 3 losses by the end of the season, so that game has no chance of happening.



FL v GA is on a neutral field with 50-50 ticket split. It is not a home game for either team. The home and away designation is strickly for uniform choices.[/QUOTE]

Ahem, excuse me, but what would someone in Tampa know about this?
As somone who's had to live through and put up with this nonsense for nearly 12 years, I think myself and a couple other DTers can speak about the World's biggest outdoor cocktail party with more authority than YOU!

Of course, you are basically correct, but it was a lucky guess.

I would know about it because I have been to the game multiple times. My horrible spelling aside, of course I am right. If you could stick your head outside of the OTB for an afternoon and actually attend, you would know that it is a 50-50 split by simply looking around the stadium.

In case Sheets decides to pull his nose out of The Form for a weekend, GA co-eds > FL co-eds. He should probably wear red and black, while trolling the friday night parties.

The ratings would be huge for nd/Bama title game. I've watched every second of nd this year and even though they've had close wins over teams they should have blown out I still think they can go undefeated. It almost feels like they can't lose this year, like a team of destiny. You say 2-3 losses but the only teams left on the schedule capable of beating them are OU and USC so 2 at max.

I'll say it again, they are a team of destiny this year. Something magic is going on in south bend. All the haters who gave the Irish no chance to win ate eating crow today. Bring on Bama, GO IRISH!

Not a hater at all. As a neutral observer, it is painfully obvious tha ND is not national championship material, but the media is going to carry them to an unwatchable ND - Bama matchup.

When I said 2 or 3 losses you said no one else own their schedule was capable of beating them. It looked otherwise today.

Take off your shamrock glasses and re-watch their games. They are not one of the two best teams in the country.

They looked like s.hit today. Questionable pass interference call helped a lot. That said, RHT will carry them to a championship.

I know what you're saying, I really do. But if they keep winning how can you deny them?
