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.


NOTRE DAME 13.... BAMA 26.... GEORGIA SOMEWHERE IN THE 60'S.
THATS THE SCHEDULE STRENGTH NUMBERS. JUST STOP, PLEASE.

With the Dawgs opening at +7 1/2 today I'm not sure what the right play is, but i think it's a good number. UGA is on a peak right now if you look at the last three games (forget GA Southern), because Richt has let the offense play instead of protecting a lead. I believe Sabin has more big game experience, and has the edge, but the Dawgs are better than many think. Would not be surprised to see them squeak by the Gumps and beat the golden boys.

i will say, that i agree that bama is overrated. but my point is that so is notre dame by their fans.

and in the top ten, on strength of schedule, fla and lsu had tougher than the top three did.

not sure why everyone is so convinced sabin will sweep the two games. anyone here know ol' nickys lifetime bowl record???

7 and 6. that's not a typo.

as for stanford...they lost to washington, who lsu crushed like they were 1-aa.

This type of comparison never works in football. Ever.

As for Saban's bowl record, he's 4-1 in either BCS games or the NCG. That's pretty good.

No it was not you. You were the gem I spoke of earlier in this thread. No need to thank me.

I strongly dislike her. Just like a lot of people dislike me and insult me. Shes not blocked and never was. The gem was not in a good way.

So who was the mystery person (I believe you said they were female) that talks about you, that some made up person sends you pms whenever they say something about you?

Methinks you have your lies confused. Funny when that happens.

Me thinks your wrong again. You needed a more clever wager for us. $100 donation because you feel I did not make the last one is weak.

No they didnt schedule any terrible teams like the SEC teams do but most of the teams they played this year outside of Stanford had down or average years. Some of them had terrible years. The schedules are meaningless for the most part.

exactly.

Strength of Schedule isnt something to go against ND with considering Bama had one of the softest SEC schedules ever.

Default Per Bovada, Notre Dame would be underdog to five SEC teams

Here are the lines issued by Bovada.lv for each of the top-10 SEC teams, with the assumed "vs. Notre Dame on a neutral field" after each:

Alabama -9.5

Georgia -3

Florida -1.5

LSU -3

Texas A&M -3.5

when i was discussing sos, i was thinking along the lines of other teams in the top ten, who played tougher.
not sure why a critique of notre dame is automatically considered a point gained for 'bama.

Probably because you were bitching that nd had a schedule that fell apart and ended up being easy to navigate through, yet u never brought up Bama or Georgia and their schedules or bitched about them not deserving a shot at the national championship.
