so, if i even tried to argue the point, i automatically don't know anything about college football. that's rich.

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.

All I know is notre dame played 9 bowl eligible teams which will be 10 if Pitt wins this week. Bama has beat 5 and Georgia has beat 4 teams who are bowl eligible. Facts are facts.

Check out this article, it's a good one. You do realize that notre dame has a lot of players who were also given scholarship offers from premiere SEC schools right, this isn't a team with a bunch of low star recruits.

THANK YOU! THAT'S WHAT i'm trying to point out. they just don't pass they eye test in my book! that schedule fell completely apart in nd's favor.
