Nope. Not even in the same universe. Weis for whatever reason could not get the job done on gameday. He recruited very well and has a good eye for talent. Kelly took over a VERY talented football team.They were in just as bad of shape as us over the past few years, maybe worse,
and now they are playing in the NC. As much as I dislike Fighting Irish it gives me hope. This goes to show what hiring the right coach can do for a program. It may not come quite as fast for us because we are in the SEC but with our tradition, resources and a good hire at head coach we can become national championship contenders once more.
I honestly don't think Notre Dame could beat:
Alabama
LSU
Texas A&M
Georgia
Florida
South Carolina w/ Lattimore and maybe even without
So I think they would be the 6th or 7th best team in the SEC.
Yes, it is what it is. And it IS a schedule that does NOT include ANY of the BCS top 5, let alone 3 of them. Notre Dame with our schedule would lay at least 3 losses this year. Wear and tear from the combat may have weakened their team such that four losses would be possible.
Welcome to the SEC. The Tide or Dawgs will properly introduce them to real football in January.

Even when ND was at their worst they still could get 4 & 5 star recruits every year all because the school is famous with a long tradition. Also because kids where guaranteed to be on tv every week.
And i know i will get hammered for this but they understand white players can play football just like black players can. And the white players want to go there and Ohio State because they know they have a chance to play with no biast bullshat!!! Of course people will say i am racists but the facts are there for everyone to see. Look at DT Bosa a 5 star out of Florida. Where is he committed to play? Ohio State!!!,,,,,hmmm wonder why he would want to go to Ohio State rather than play for Florida or Florida State?
Don't get me wrong i hate ND but i do see how great players could be interested and why!!!
Let's not poo-poo ND's schedule too much. I'm not saying it's SEC hard, but they beat MSU, Michigan, Stanford, Oklahoma, and USC. Those aren't gimmes. In fact, it's more top 25 wins than we've had in 5-6 years combined. I hate them so much it's hard to say anything good about them, but it is what it is.
it must be rough playing 2 teams that end up in the top 25. USC at 7-4 with their back up qb playing...what a great win. michigan state and michigan average like 10 points a game...awesome. must have been brutal playing navy boston college byuwake forest purdue and pitt too...give me a break. they struggled with purdue byu and should have lost to pitt. alabama is going to roll them. if notre dame got points just for crossing midfield they would still lose. this game is going to be along the lines of 35-3. bama and notre dame play the same style except alabama has clearly superior talent. might be turning this one off after the first quarter
You should probably get your facts straight before you spout off. I wasn't saying they'd beat Alabama...I don't think they will. I was saying they have a tough schedule.
ND has beaten 3 current top 25 schools: Stanford (8), Oklahoma (11), Michigan (19)
By comparison Alabama has beaten 2: Michigan (19), LSU (7)
Georgia has beaten 1: Florida
Also, ND hasn't played a single FBS team. Facts>your bias any day of the week.
alabama is playing #3 uga this saturday...
