Matt Barkley Out Against ND

Matt Barkley will not be playing against ND this weekend. Max Wittek, Rivals 4-star,  #76 overall, #3 Pro-style QB in 2011, will start instead. 

ND now has a wide open path to the national title. I don't think that I've ever seen a worse team get so lucky.

Oh, and don't forget the worst case scenario: ND wins the BCS game and Ohio is awarded the AP National Championsip. 

I'm going to go and find a dark, musty corner to cry in.

ND and the Mayan Calendar

Just when I thought that piece of stone was discredited, ND is going to get a shot to play for the National Championship. All bow before Saban, et al, before letting our regional, recruiting-doom,rivalry contract-breaking false god of smugness win. All hail the SEC! All hail Saban!

A ND NC appearance - much less a win - means nothing but bad juju for Michigan. The world, writ large as well, but especially for us. There is no such thing as 15 mins of fame for that Babylon.

A world with every subway Domer beaming is a world I can't hack.

I've been struggling with this, but my girlfriend is an Irish fan ... so I've been hating on them just slightly less than I should be. don't get me wrong, I make it very clear to her that her team is no. 2 on my hate list, but in the greater context of college football, I have let go a little bit & decided I do not care whether ND gets into the NCG or it becomes an SEC affair. yes, the most romantic gift i can give her is an indifference/begrudging tolerance of her team. she seems to appreciate it.

OSU has

a much easier schedule than ND #54 compared to # 33. This is  without playing UM. Um is #38 without playing OSU.

Unfortunately ND's Defense is rated # 1 scoring defense in the nation. Their offense is coming together, so I don't know what to expect, guess I won't watch the NC game if they are playing.

Stars are aligned. I just think of all the bad bowl luck we've had in the mid 2000s, playing two outstanding USC teams, and a Texas team with Vince Young. And I compare those Michigan teams to this ND team. Makes me a sad panda.

cant stand ND...but their D

cant stand ND...but their D is more than good enough to handle that Bama O and in a 60 min game the way the season has gone, I wouldn't bet against ND at this point. They have passed every test one way or another.

I'd bet against them and I'm

I'd bet against them and I'm pretty sure if it happens Vegas is going to need to put up a huge line to keep all the money from going on Bama.   Bama's O-line would maul ND.  3 first round picks on it.  ND would have no shot of moving the ball on that D either.  Texas A&M had two tackles projected to go in the first round and Johnny football.  ND's simply doesn't.

Bama's line is not going to

Bama's line is not going to maul ND's front 7... Bama ran for 122 and 3.9 a carry against A&M - ND has a better rush D than A&M - #5 vs #35... Bama could wear down ND and move the ball through the air against them but that ND front 7 isn't getting mauled by anyone.

That's one game and Bama was

That's one game and Bama was behind the entire game (and it was 4.65 without the sacks).  Bama ran it down LSU's throat for over 7 yards a carry against LSU who has a pretty good D-line , one tha may well produce to top 10 picks in april.   Maybe not maul, but they would have no trouble running the ball on them.

I don't like it, but I've

I don't like it, but I've accepted it at this point.  I can't deny that Notre Dame is a great team this year.  Yeah, they've gotten lucky with some questionable calls going their way, but it's better to be lucky than good sometimes.  And every great team gets some luck here and there.  It's their year.  It still may all come crashing down on them at some point, but what a run they've had this season. 

Who knows, that could be us next year.  The great thing about college football is that it could happen.

2012 Notre Dame is a poor man's 2002 Ohio.  They'll probably play Bama, everyone will talk for 5 weeks about how ND will get killed and then they'll play out of their ass and win.

That's not the point.  Miami

That's not the point.  Miami was favored to win that game by 2 touchdowns and they blew it.  And I'm in the camp of thinking there was actually a penalty on that play...although it was defensive holding instead of PI.

People throw this comparison

People throw this comparison put daily now. I don't really see it. Who's their Maurice clarett? Truthfully, last year's Michigan team caught lucky breaks, auburn did as well with their NC. Many championship teams get some breaks. Alabama got a second shot at LSU. Plain and simple, michigan should have taken care of business against ND and Nebraska. Brady Hoke, Denard etc all would say the same.



ND will likely be ranked high next year which sets up nicely for us to upset them.

Remember what happened when

Remember what happened when Brian Kelly's undefeated Bearcats played the Florida Gators in the Sugar Bowl? (I know he already took the Notre Dame job prior to the game, but basically he got the team there.)

OSU fan here. I root against

OSU fan here. I root against ND as much as the next guy, but if they win at the Colosseum and finish undefeated, not sure why they would be undeserving to make the NC game. It'd be a different story if KSU and Oregon stayed undefeated. But no rational person forgives KSU for getting clobbered by Baylor, or Oregon for laying an egg at home against a Stanford team that started a freshman in his first ever road game.

I guess my point is, why is it more unfair for ND to go to the championship game after an undefeated season that at times lacked style points than allowing SEC teams and/or KSU/Oregon to go instead even though they laid eggs during the season. Doesn't make sense to blame ND for barely beating a team like BYU and then at the same time forgive a team like Georgia for getting blown out by South Carolina.

If the Mayans are right

we won't have to see it.  Otherwise the domers will get and probably pull a miracle out to win the MNC.

Georgia will beat Bama in the SEC CG and then the same Georgia team that lost to MSU last year will show up in Miami and ND wins and Lou Holtz has a coronary and college football is forever changed.

Man, this sux!

Hard to Believe

ND has just hit the perfect storm of all perfect storms.  Good chance to beat SC, and although they will be way overmatched against the SEC champ, anything can happen in one game.   Time for everyone to swallow hard, hold their noses, and really pull for SC Saturday.

ND is not the #1 team. We rant the ball up and down the field in the first half and if not for some dumb TO's and play calls we go into half up huge. They have squeaked by in several games and will get exposed If they play BAMA.

Michigan was pretty much dominated by Virginia Tech last year, would you like to send them the Sugar Bowl trophy?

Give me a break

How lucky was Ohio State in 2002?  Every team that goes undefeated has to get lucky at some point.  The great teams somehow find ways to win like Notre Dame has.

Notre Dame is a great team, and several players from this team will be playing on Sundays.  They're also #1 in graduation rate at 99% (according to the telecast on saturday), being #1 in both categories in the present time is nothing short of a miracle.

This post is nothing but sour grapes.

Yeah you're right

Braxton Miller missed 2 wide open TD's last year that would have beaten us, let's give them that game back. 

I'll take the win no matter how ugly or lucky it may be.

Please don't pick and choose

Please don't pick and choose a handful of games to prove your point.  ND walked into Norman (A double digit underdog) and pimp slapped OU, holding them to 15 yards rushing.  Decimated a potent Miami Passing attack, beat a great Stanford squad.  I think ND has 3 victories over teams in the BCS top20, only Florida can match that.

You can talk all the crap about you should have beat us this year, but you didn't.  We should have curb stomped you last year by 5 touchdowns, but we all know how that ended up.

When you are 11-0.  #1 Scoring defense its about a whole lot more than luck.

that Ohio wins the AP while ND wins the BCS.  If ND wins the BCS, they will also win the AP.  

Also, no way Ohio wins the AP.  They're losing this weekend.  Book it.
