    So because of Notre Dames legendary status that they made for themselves they shouldnt go to the national title when they are undefeated and have a schedule toughness ranked higher than bama? Thats like telling espn not to talk about tiger woods when hes going into sunday leading at the masters. Rudy also has nothing to do with why notre dame is playing in the national championship.

    Notre Dame did not have a tougher schedule than Bama lol. Nevertheless, if they could only score 22 points on Southern Cal's defense I'm excited to see what the game score is gonna be.. ha

    Will, I am a college football whackjob.

    It is the ONLY sport I bet seriously. I can't cap college hoops to save my life, screw the NBA, and the NFL drives me insane. I follow recruiting insanely close----

    PSU-- South Carolina was 9-4 ATS.

    Can you just admit you were wrong about South Carolina?

    9-4 ATS. Do you know how many teams had a better ATS record? 8.

    Alabama was 6-7 ATS.

    Actually they did.

    ND's SOS was 27th, Alabama's was 35th.

    http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbt12.htm

    No matter which metric you use, Sagarin, Billingsley, Haddock, or even the NCAA's, ND's SOS is higher than Alabama's.

    It's funny cause I initially started loving college football with the big ten going to penn state.. then when I moved back home I started to really respect and affirm the sec. there are so many bowls 6 vs 10 isn't a remarkable observation in my humble opinion. Sec has dominated the bowls besides the Florida flop and as a result of that upset I think Bama will be more focused. Look at how the SEC has played since then.


    Sorry if I offended you with my notre dame comments about Rudy ( I love the movie too lol) and I guess you are right about South Carolina. I just thought in my opinion they seemed dominant one week and one week not (they almost lost to Vandy althought they are competent this year) but just let the game happen.. lol

    I think you missed the strength of schedule observation. Like most of America you have your love affair with SEC. Rightfully so, they have won last 6. Things are cyclical though and they will not be dominant forever.
