As someone who doesn't watch much college football, I have no problem with ND being in the NCG. If Oregon and KState or Georgia wanted to be in it, well, don't have huge lapses in your most important games.


Oh, and I loath ND entirely.

You get past the few good teams at the top and the rest of the SEC is pretty mediocre. Same as any other conference.

Every conference beats their own conference up, all teams play such a light out of conference schedule that it isn't likely that they would lose anything but in conference games. Unless they are really bad, of course.

that game last night summed up an earlier point I made about college football on this board

IT SUCKS because there is little parity

BIG GAME = BIG BLOWOUTS most of the time...I actually enjoyed the A&M blowout because Manziel is great...but last night's game blew. It was awful. Last years NC blew. The one before that sucked. The Colt McCoy got injured game was terrible.

doesn't happen that often in the Super Bowl

last years Super Bowl was TREMENDOUS, the Packers Super Bowl was a great game, in fact...

I can't really remember the last non-entertaining Super Bowl

I love the whole..."Notre Dame would have gotten rolled by South Carolina" bullshit. Really? The same South Carolina that barely beat Michigan.....the team that the Irish already beat?

****ing rampant SEC homerism.

the game kind of butterflied after that could've been muffed punt but still

awful, terrible, boring spotlight game

seems to happen more often than not in college football

that and the fact you filter players in and out every year...I just can't cheer for college athletics. No fun for me. I love basketball march madness, though. Awesome.

but I've always been a pro guy so I realize some people are different

JUST LIKE PARITY

SEC homers won't be happy until the SEC is the only conference allowed to play in the championship game. I'm so damn sick of hearing about the greatness of the SEC. Alabama had a cakewalk this year.

That's some piss poor logic.

Texas A&M handed bama their only loss of the season, but that doesn't mean they would of rolled ND 50-0.

I think your hatred of the pro-SEC reporting is getting in the way of the article's point.

That is EXACTLY the point of the article. ND gets to pick and choose who they play, rather than being forced to run a gauntlet through a conference. USC is the only team of any merit that they play. Maybe Michigan.

Nine out of the 12 SEC teams had winning seasons. That's pretty good. In conference play, there were clearly tiers of teams. Florida, Georgia, LSU, Alabama, A&M. Then, coming down to South Carolina and a suprising Vanderbilt. Then you just had some teams that did not match up at all in the SEC, like Arkansas, Kentucky, Auburn, Missouri, and Tennessee. But even those bottom tier teams were 14-6 when playing outside the conference.

I have no problem, absolutely none, watching Notre Damn get annihilated in the BCS National Championship. I can watch that again next year.

Ha! I kind of agree with you. I've been a Notre Dame hater for years, although it's really more disliking the constant Notre Dame coverage, even when they have a 6-5 record. So, I lightened up on them this year; considering they were undefeated I at least understood the coverage.

As the game to end the season, I would rather watch a good game, like Oregan-K.State.

At least in a playoff system we get more well-matched games.

This argument is complete bullshit!!! Tell me why TCU or Boise State hasn't gone to the big game when going undefeated??? Explain that to everyone....dumbass
