ND has a chance, but they are not the better team. Defenses are close but the offenses are in a different class from each other. But to entertain you, ND has no shot.
georgia already tried the woe is me and us against the world approach...it did not help. experts can say what they want, does not matter for those 60 minutes. Lou holtz will single handily make up for anyone that picks Bama...he already said they are the best team on the field, no matter who they play.
Johnny "Football" put that silly thought to rest a couple weeks ago, lets not bring it up again... :D
There you are...I was worried you did not make it our of the what are you drinking thread. You must really hate Saban to pull for Rudy. I understand though.
I don't hate Saban. I hate Bama. I have never believed in this SEC loyalty BS. Now I don't like ND either, but LSU and ND do not usually compete with recruits.
I agree with you 10000%...people don't stop and think how easy the young kids are to sway. TJ Yeldon was an Aubarn commit until the silent period...Bama playing for a NC and the barn digging a bigger whole was probably 95% of how we landed him. i was pulling for Oregon so hard against $cam and the barn I hurt myself.
See I just cant pull for ND, the only way that would happen is if they were playing Michigan or something like that. As a UGA fan obviously upset about the game, but I will pull for Bama in the NC.
I don't like Alabama or Notre Dame. I hope they both lose. And then get penalized for sanctions. And have their entire seasons stripped. And Florida wins the MNC by default. And enters next season number 1. And goes undefeated. And beats Alabama in the SECCG. And beats Notre Dame in the MNC. And wins 67 games in a row.
I would agree that AL is the best team. However they have shown they can be beat and almost were yesterday. I actually admire their program (but they aren't my team - my team VA Tech sucked a$$ this year) I'd just like to see someone else win. Not sure if ND can do it. However it shakes out hopefully it will be a good game. And.....at least LSU isn't in it.
I've told most my buddies that ND will give Bama a better game than most SEC fans think. ND has a real good team this year. I fully expect the BCSNC game to be similar to the SECCG.
Coming from a UVA fan it doesn't mean much but, let's be honest, if VT was in any conference other than the ACC Beamer would have been fired years ago and their years of underachieving would be seen for what it is
wahoo, UVA's best football years are on the near horizon. You all had an extremely young team this year that had no quit. You all have a good coach.
Can't disagree. They have had a few good years recently, and its been nice to see them at least be ranked decent, but overall I agree they could use a change. And they are "bowl eligible" this yr which is total BS if you ask me. Teams that go .500 should never get a bowl game. (even my team) Should be 8 wins minimum, imo.
I am loyal, to Bama 1st, anyone playing the barn 2nd and then it's a case by case basis...but you knew that...
