stevestojan Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Married into an ND family. Went to first big college game today, in South Bend. The whole ND experience was incredible. They handily beat Wake, as expected. Â Then came Baylor??? Amazing. But Stanford, too??? I thought for sure my Bills fandom would bring a curse to this team. They fought through it.... to #1!

bbb Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 As much as I'm on board, I'm not counting a win against USC yet. My first sporting heartbreak was when I was 8 years old in 1970 and I thought Theisman's team was going to win it all and they got upset by USC in the last game.

I've been only vaguely aware of OSU's existence this year and no one will remember anything about OSU in 2012 no matter what their record. When was the last time anyone mentioned the 1993 Auburn team? Â But I'll be looking for you to bring this up again if Alabama or Georgia ends up winning the NC.

MDH Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Me either. The Trojans have owned us and are a match up nightmare, despite their record. They're really talented.

PaattMaann Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! LETS GO IRISH!!! Â if Barkley doesnt play on saturday, that spells bad news for the condoms....really, really hoping he is sitting on the sidelines (a couple plays he made in that loss yesterday were INCREDIBLE, and im not necessarily a Barkley lover, but he extends plays and makes great throws - but also makes errors) - any way ya slice it, id prefer they are playing a back up at the most important position on the field.... Â then wait a month, and championship!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acantha Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) Me either. The Trojans have owned us and are a match up nightmare, despite their record. They're really talented. As always, anything can happen, but one of the most talented coaches in college football against one of the biggest hacks in recent history? I'm expecting a fairly easy ND win. Â The NC will be another story though. At this point, no matter who they are up against is going to be very tough.

This OSU team would get their asses handed to them by any of the top 6 teams (OSU excepted ). I have little doubt that UM will build up OSU into a powerhouse but they are far from that today.

tennesseeboy Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 ND has beaten Albama 5 out of thelast six times they played them including Sugar and Orange Bowl games. I like hte history. I am in SEC country and one of the guys I work out this morning complained about strength of schedule. I pointed out to him that while ND was playing Wake Forest on Saturday Alabama played Western Carolina (I've never heard of it either...earlier in the season they played Florida Atlantic.). Â I attended the Wake Forest senior day pep rally and game....they do put on one hell of an event at that place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennesseeboy Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 nah not relevant but an enjoyable factoid....and there is a long way to go before the decision about who plays in Miami is actually made. ND still has to be Southern Cal, and Alabama has to win the SEC....I don't understand why nobody is throwing Georgia out as a possible contender.

I think it's pretty clear the winner will play in the championship game. Â If ND loses, it'll be a contest among a bunch of undeserving teams and the BCS will naturally pick some random SEC team that didn't even qualify for their league championship game.

If Bama loses to Auburn, they're still in the SEC Championship game. Yet, they likely would not be in the National Championship game if they beat Georgia. Same thing goes for Georgia if they lose to GT but then beat Bama. Â If ND loses, it will then end up being Bama/Georgia vs. Florida (assuming that they all win their remaining games, and Florida has to face a tough FSU team this week).

Offside Number 76 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I had heard 90-1. They did start the season unranked. Â I don't know if it's going to be Alabama or Georgia, but either way, it's going to be a good game. And I think Irish fans had better be pulling for Alabama. Something about that Georgia team seems very dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to say they can't win, but those defenses are going to punch them in the face right off the bat. ND is going to have to come up with something special to take that game. IMO, they're better off playing Georgia. Kelly has a leg up on Richt, but the NC game is Saban's home court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oklahoma,Stanford, Pittsburgh and USC to name four. Oregon would have been the one team that they haven't played anyone like all year. Notre Dame has a remarkable defensive front seven and I suspect neither Alabama nor Georgia have played one that strong all year. I would have to give Alabama a slight edge over Notre Dame and Notre Dame a slight edge over Georgia....but I'm rooting for Notre Dame all the way.
