Glad you believe everything you see on the Internet!!!!! This site has nd at 8 and Georgia at 27 SOS so I guess you can find it any way you want. Truth is if you look at both their schedules you will know nd had a tougher one, that is if you know ANYTHING about college football.

I'm trying to defend ND believe it or not Austin, but even you have to admit that they should have lost the Pitt game. The refs blew it multiple times. How could they not see there are two guys both wearing #2 on the field at the same time...on the same team

Yeah I thought they were going to lose many times during that game, buy somehow they didn't and that is what story book seasons are all about. They aren't about blowouts, they are about close calls, controversy, and just finding a way to win the game. 1 more to go, at the beginning of the season I told my dad I just wanted to be able to watch ND play for it all one time with him, I was 2 in 88 the last time they won it all. Team of destiny and my son is 2 yrs old right now as well, coincidence??? I think not lol

Your a nd basher is way I'm saying. I believe you know college football but your one of those people who had sooooo much hate for ND tat you will do whatever and find whatever you can to try to downplay their season. Deep down you know better but you won't admit it.

i don't hate them at all. i'm not biased in any way. i think they're the beneficiary of a lot of bias from the press, etc. it's got nothing to do with 'deep down' anything. when one considers the bsc, and how they choose bowl recipients, and notre dame is listed specifically....well, there's a huge reason for that, and it's got a lot to do with bias. name another school specifically listed. there isn't one.

as for SOS. fla has played a tougher one than any of the three teams ahead of them.

that's this year. that's not what has gotten them all the preferential treatment all these years, and better bowl game bids when others with better records got passed over.
and fla would be 12-0 with the schedule dame had. so would bama, a and m, and a host of others.

[Danzig]

let's look at dame's opponents this year.

navy. 7-4 yeah, a real powerhouse
purdue 3-5. dame won by 3.
michigan state ended at .500 6-6
michigan, got their asses handed to them by 'bama 41-14. lost to dame 13-6.
miama (not the hurricanes)
stanford, quality opponent. had to go to ot for that one, no shame for either one.
byu. lol squeaked by 17-14.
oklahoma-second best opponent faced by dame after stanford.
pitt, in ot. pitt. another win by 3.
bc. lol they just fired their coach cause they suck
wake. sigh
usc. 7-5. lost to every ranked team they faced this year.


yeah, tough schedule.... /sarcasm

after it's all over-how many quality opponents did they face? how many did others, such as fla (who it seems has faced a tougher schedule than many, including dame/georgia) square off against? where are all the opponents ranked now compared to through the season? that's what tells the tale.
