Weis is predicting 9 to 12 wins. HAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAHHAHHHHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
"Weis proved during his time in the NFL and during his first two years at Notre Dame that he’s not stupid"
HAAHHAHAHHHHahahahhahahHahahhaaAHAHA~!$!
"Last season’s debacle was almost assuredly not borne from complete coaching ineptitude" BWAHAHAHAHAHDASHF!!@%!@#$%!HAHAHAHAHHAHAH!$!!%#$
"The only regular-season game in which Notre Dame figures to be a serious underdog is the finale at USC, so Weis could conceivably have an 11-0 team heading out there if everything comes together."

First off notre dame i don't like at all but lets look at the schedule to see if this claim is even possible....
SDSU - possible win
Michigan - no way in hell
Michigan State - 50/50, michigan state likes to choke against ND
Purdue - most likely loss
Stanford -possible win
North Carolina - possible win, UNC always sucks
Washington - most likely loss
Pittsburgh -50/50, i never pay attention to this team but who knows
Boston College - 50/50, they lost their star qb
Navy - 50/50, lost to them last year
Syracuse - possible win, Syracuse can be counted on to suck year in and year out
USC - clear loss Even giving them some benefit of the doubt, I don't see where they come out with 9 wins. They more likely will win 6 times
Look, Charlie has has three excellent recruiting classes in a row. They broke in somthing like 20 first-time starters. They're a better team than they were last year, and it's not even close. Throw in the fact that their schedule is a tour of the dregs of major-conference D-I football, and they'll win 7, at least.
SDSU isn't a "possible" win - it is a sure-fire, write it in stone win.
Michigan - I don't think they'll win, but it's not like we don't have our own share of question marks. I'll chock this up as a likely loss for ND.
Michigan St. - I'd call it 50/50.
Purdue - 50/50.
Stanford - One of the 5 worst teams in a BCS conference. Win.
UNC - they are awful. Win for ND.
Washington - a likely loss? Washington is TERRIBLE, and getting worse every year. 75% chance of a ND win.
BC - lost alot. 50/50 Pittsburgh - have had good recruiting, bad results. 50/50.
Navy - lost their coach, 6 of ther top 7 rushers (including their top 4), and needed a Weis brain-fart to win. ND wins.
Syracuse - also one of the 5 worst BCS programs. ND wins.
USC - DUH.
So, that's 6 "gimme" wins, with 50/50 shots at MSU, Purdue, Pitt, and BC. They need ONE of those to go their way, and they make a bowl. Don't get me wrong - I don't think ND is all that, and they'll undoubtedly wash Charlie's balls after the teams record rebounds, and ignore that they beat the dregs of college football to do it. But, they'll post an adequate record.
UNC was 4-8 last year with 6 of their losses coming by 7 or less. For some reason I watched three of their games last year (instead of whatever MAC game was on ABC) and they were young, made stupid turnovers but they were athletic. They were just as athletic as Miami.
If it comes down to all things being equal, I gotta give Butch Davis the edge over Charlie Wies in terms of playcalling.
