There is a huge difference between Louisville and Notre Dame. We are talking about the biggest name in college football with the biggest fan base across the country. The tradition of Notre Dame, the money they bring to the table, and the fact they could be 12-0 should be more than enough to give them their fair shot.

Plus Louisville had no issue walking into Pittsburgh and win with ease, while ND needed pure luck, a choked field goal and officiating help to win at home.

What would draw bigger ratings, Bama vs ND for all the marbles or any other combination of games? I guarantee the ratings for that game would go though the roof.

Bama vs. Oregon would draw more. More intrigue for the true football fans.

unless 2 teams Ahead of nd lose, they are OUT. Bama passed them in the bcs computer. as long as the other teams keep winning they will pass nd too. nd is out of computer points.
the voters don't like them enough to save them........ for now.

bama vs anyone would draw ratings. you are aware that demographics have changed over the years?


for instance, bama vs michigan was the same time as usc vs hawaii. the bama game blew the so cal game out of the water ratings-wise.

But they were eligible enough to embarrass State Penn at the Beaver.

I thought of you after that game.



So fun!

I'm pulling for the State Penn players this year. they are being punished for crimes of crickety and disgusting old white men which they had less than zero to do with. Let's punish the teenagers at State Penn, that will fix it so says the NCAA (No Credibility At All)!! I'm sure this post will get the howling, braying monkeys out in full force here. I'm gonna go back to cleveland sporty things now. Good bye.

You're just a contrarian douchebag.

You are 100% correct here. My thing is that nothing Penn St was doing was to gain any kind of competitive advantage. Other schools out there are paying players, giving them cars, employing family members, providing prostitutes, etc., in order to get the players and gain a competitive advantage. To me, those are the kinds of things that the NCAA should be worried about, not criminal offenses involving long since retired, jailed, or dead administrators and coaches. When kids are taking things illegally and you want to punish the school and the kids, fine. At Penn St, the kids that were victimized were already punished.......so let's punish a bunch more people that had nothing at all to do with anything. IF Paterno or any of the other administrators were still there, that would be different. But they aren't.
