Matt Barkley Out Against ND

Beat Ohio

This is all set up for a crushing USC win. How great would that be?

Beat ohio

How would OSU be voted ahead of an undefeated Notre Dame team for the AP title?

It's just ND's year.  Watch them play Bama in the Championship game and 80% of the Bama players will come down with the flu.

Sure why not...it has been that kind of year for ND this year. Oh well, we had our chance and completely crapped the bed.

I wouldn't of bet on USC beating notre dame even with Matt Barkley to be quite honest

BEAT OHIO

To hell with notre dame. Seriously. I'd hate to be anyone that knows Damefan1 in person.

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.

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

Then?  2013 winter turns to summer and we forget all about it.  We start thinking about Michigan 2013.  Life goes on.

uses ND for toothpicks at this stage. The world is a cruel place and there is no justice, so. . . where was I going with this. . . 

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 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.

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 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.

Luck of the freaking Irish.  

The perfect storm.

They are not getting SHIT when we donkey punch their ass at home! Fuck Ohio and go blue

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!

Georgia will win this

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.

It's been said before but I don't care BEAT OHIO!

hahaha. ND vs Bama, most likely. They will get exposed. 

Just when I thought Lou Holtz was starting to give up on his annual undefeated predictions for ND, they have to go and screw it up like this. Now he's going to be high on the Irish until the day he dies on set.

We caught breaks last year, they are getting them this year.

Had our chance. Can't win games turning the ball over 6 times.

Beat Ohio!

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.

I will never forgive Oregon and Kansas State for putting me in a position where I may have to root for ND in a title game.

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.

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.
