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.

ND beat Stanford you drooling reerun. You know, the team that beat Oregon. The Irish played a horrible game and were dominated by Alabama. It happens, but that doesn't take away from their undefeated regular season and prove that they shouldn't have been playing in the game at all.

They have played Stanford for a long time, and they weren't really expected to be that good this year anyway. There is a reason Shaw is being considered for multiple Coach of the Year awards.

That is why I listed USC as a "good" team on their schedule. Scheduling Oklahoma is more impressive than Stanford and is really the team I missed on their schedule.

They played:

Navy
Purdue
Michigan State
An awful Miami
BYU
Pittsburgh
Boston College
Wake Forest

All of those are cupcuke games. EIGHT cupcake games. Kudos that Notre Dame managed to win on their weak schedule this year, but their schedule is weak.

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

This.

It has nothing to do with ND and everything to do with how college football decides their champ...

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.

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.

Hootie · 01-09-2013, 12:17 AM

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.

Oh....and go **** yourself.

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

blaise · 01-09-2013, 06:09 AM

Notre Dame scheduled Michigan, Michigan State, Miami, USC, Oklahoma, and Stanford and I'm supposed to think they schedule a bunch of cupcakes or something? Even BYU, Pitt, and Purdue aren't some kind of little directional schools. The idea that they played a soft schedule is dumb.

Again...why does ND get a shot at the title when going undefeated when others don't?

Because they were the only undefeated team this year?

If Oregon and k state would have won they would have played for the NC and notre dame would have played in the fiesta
