Notre Dame vs. USC

[HawaiiVol]

Less than an hour til kickoff.

Hope ND loses. Hate them more than USC.

 

[milohimself]

I think the entire west coast and south are hoping USC wins big... If they don't, the national title will be that rematch.

 

[tidwell]

I'll be pulling for Southern Cal, but I've got a feeling Notre Dame will pull out the W in a shootout. Should be fun to watch regardless.

 

[milohimself]

Yeah, I'm also feeling nervous about this one. I really want USC to win.

 

[milohimself]

I really want USC to win.

Although that's probably a suprise to nobody.

 

[HawaiiVol]

As far as the BCS goes, if ND beats USC, it's safe to say ND won't be jumping UM in the BCS. If UF beats Arky in the SECCG, will it be enough to make up the .42 difference between UF and UM?

I'm thinking it will be close, but the Polls are prolly going to keep UM at #2 regardless, which carry more weight than the computer polls, leading to a rematch, which I don't really want to see.

 

[therealUT]

I am cheering for ND. Then we will get a UM-Tosu rematch and, if everything aligns correctly, we could possibly get a ND-USC rematch in the Rose Bowl, or a ND-UF BCS game. The latter would be nice, Weiss vs. Meyer, each with a month to prepare. I would imagine that Weiss would humble Urban, sufficiently.

CBS has Notre Dame winning and the bowls looking like this...

BCS Championship: Ohio State vs. Michigan
Sugar Bowl: Florida vs. Notre Dame
Orange Bowl: Georgia Tech vs. Louisville
Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma vs. Boise State
Rose Bowl: USC vs. LSU

 

[milohimself]

Think about that USC-LSU rose bowl.

More bitching about '03 if LSU wins that one... :shakehead:

 

[tidwell]

Why would the 2003 National Champion LSU Tigers be complaining if they beat Southern Cal?

I really doubt Georgia Tech wins the ACC, too. Louisville should be able to handle Maryland, Wake Forest, and GT.

BCS Championship: Ohio State vs. Michigan
Sugar Bowl: Florida vs. Notre Dame
Orange Bowl: Georgia Tech vs. Louisville
Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma vs. Boise State
Rose Bowl: USC vs. LSU

Two SEC teams in the BCS instead of two Big East teams. That's how it should be. If this happens, Tennessee should get a better bowl than originally expected.

Game time.

 

[therealUT]

Nice return by Tommy Z.

 

[therealUT]

What a play!

 

[HawaiiVol]

USC stiffens up after the big play, Time out ND, 4th and 9

 

[HawaiiVol]

Quinn throws it away, TO on downs

 

[OrangeSquare]

Mr. Heisman overthrew his man there.

 

[HawaiiVol]

Big play by USC to the 50 to start out

 

[HawaiiVol]

Down to the 24. Big 3rd down play

 

[HawaiiVol]

1st and goal at the 9

 

[therealUT]

That was way too easy...

 

[HawaiiVol]

TD USC

Wonder what Holtz thinks of that much improved defense now :crazy:

 

[OrangeSquare]

He just predicted on ESPN that it "wouldnt be even close" as Notre Dame would win.

He's such a damn homer.

 

[HawaiiVol]

Dropped pass. 3 and out for ND

 

[OrangeSquare]

This game is gonna get ugly.

USC is gonna roll.
