Notre Dame could not score enough points to beat Florida or Arkansas. Their defense is just too slow.

As poorly as ND played against Michigan and USC, let's remember, that was Michigan and USC!

The fact that ND almost lost to Mich. State and UCLA, means nothing, because they didn't lose. Florida's defense will certainly be able to limit NDs rushing game. However, I have my doubts that UF or Arkansas will be able to shut Quinn down. Arkansas has yet to stop a potent passing offense (50-14) and Florida let a UT team that had -11 yards on the ground put up 20 points on them.

There is no way that ND is more deserving of a BCS bid then say Auburn.

Auburn defeated Florida and LSU, 2 top 10 BCS teams. Instead they get left out, while teams like Notre Dame who lost both of their biggest games get in. The BCS is a joke. It doesn't reward teams based on who they play.

Their is no way Notre Dame, or Boise State for that matter, get a BCS bid if they are in the SEC conference. I'm sick of the BS from the BCS.

Notre Dame is not more deserving than Auburn. However, Auburn is not eligible to be selected for a BCS Bowl Game.

On another perspective you put our Vols on this schedule and we go 6-4...maybe:mf_surrender:

Are you joking? We'd have exactly the same record as Notre Dame. We would've managed to pound MSU and UCLA, though.

UT has a pretty good passing offense. Arkansas and Florida both did an excellent job against it. ND did a good job against USC's unproven running back stable. Stopping McFadden and Jones will be much different. I think Florida's wide receivers may just be too fast for the Irish. Remember Santonio Holmes and Tedd Ginn Jr. last year?

I didn't know I mentioned anything about opposing pass defenses.

Holmes and Ginn Jr. performed excellently against ND last season. However, Tosu also had one of the best defenses in the nation last year, pass defense included. I don't believe that Florida can put enough points on the board against ND and I don't think that Arkansas can keep Notre Dame from putting points on the board.

That was a typo. Disregard it. UT has a pretty good passing offense.

I think UT has a great passing offense. However, without Ainge, I wouldn't say that Arkansas faced UT's great passing offense. Also, UT's passing offense did very well against Florida (again, 20 points on -11 yards rushing.)

Good point. I'll still take Chris Leak to Dallas Baker and co. over the Irish DBs. As for Arkansas, they can control the clock and really limit the Irish offense.

If ND is so good why did they get beaten badly by Michigan and USC? Those games weren't close and they are the only real competition ND has had this year.

Auburn has beaten 2 teams in the current top 10, Florida and LSU. ND has beaten no one but lost 2 and you expect anyone to believe ND is better then Auburn?

I never said that ND was better than Auburn. I stated that Auburn is not eligible for a BCS bowl game. Personally, I have no problem with that. If you are not one of the top 2 teams in your conference you have no business in a BCS Bowl Game. Feel free to argue that ND would be #3 in the Big Ten, however, Notre Dame is not in the Big Ten. If Auburn wants to try to make it as an independent, let them try.

Until then, ND has more business being in a BCS bowl game than the teams that are eligible that will not make it into a BCS game.

Wow. Reading comprehension might not be your best skill.

How many years in a row did you guys play Notre Dame and why did the series come to an end? Will it start back or will another big out of conference team take it's place? We start up with Florida State next year but now it doesn't seem like that big of a game, sadly from each teams perspective. There is talk about Penn St. or possibly Notre Dame in the near future, but without a coach at the present time I only care about our current committed recruits.

The ND series comes up about once every 10 years and it is a home and home series.

UT has some good OOC games scheduled for the future - UNC(Butch Davis), Oklahoma, UCLA. The games are scheduled so far in advance there is no way of tellling how great the programs will be when the games actually come around to getting played.

I see what you are trying to say, that you think ND can beat FL but your basing it on conjecture. My point is they haven't done enough to deserve to play in a BCS Bowl game.

The BCS rule needs to be changed that only allows 2 teams from one conference. It should be the best 12 teams regardless of conference.

If they did that, there still probably wouldn't be 3 SEC teams in the BCS. I'd say there would be 3 from the Big 10: Ohio State, Michigan, and Wisconsin. If they took three from the SEC as well... I imagine it wouldn't be pretty. I mean, it would be tough to justify 6 of the 10 teams being from 2 conferences, even if those are the two best conferences.

As long as Reggie Ball is the qb, GT will achieve nothing. Penn State, are you kidding me? They have nothing to brag about. But that a$$, who is even fatter than Fulmer, enjoys more than 3m every year, and effortlessly get his a$$ into BCS bowl game. Well, we need to switch to independent team.

Georgia Tech and Penn St. are the only two teams they played that are worth a damn, is what I was sayin.....Taking things the wrong way
