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.

I blame 2013 on artistic renditions of pineapples.

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.

Saban (or whoever they play) with over a month to prep for the game will absolutely own the Irish.

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.

Touchdown Michigan!

ND wins that game and goes to the NC ... and gets clobbered by Alabama.

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 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 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.
