Football Will Notre Dame be the worst participant in a National Championship game? - Page 8

Not an ND hater and not disputing their place in the game but...I feel like this is going to be a total trashing.

ND is 76th in scoring offense a 26 pts per. Outside of Miami 43 OU 7 and USC 37 ND hasn't played a scoring offense ranked higher than 57.

Q: Why don't Catholics cheer for Catholic schools other than Notre Dame?

A: Because they are bandwagon, t-shirt fan ****tards

Alabama only had 2 wins against ranked teams and 4 real away games all year and people want to bitch and complain about ND?

I've hated all the ND coverage over the past 2 decades. I hate Lou Holtz. I don't watch ESPN's college football coverage because when I used to watch it, every five minutes there was something about ND or Ohio State, and neither deserved a tenth of the coverage.

That said, I really don't understand the hate this year. They're damn near perfect in all the polls (1.000 in the computer polls, .9979 overall). When TCU went undefeated 2 years ago, they were .9000 in the computer polls and .9102 overall. That should tell you ND's schedule can't be compared to BSU or TCU before they joined the B12. They beat 3 teams in the BCS top 20, the same as Alabama.

I don't think they would beat Alabama... if there's a team to complain about, IMO it would be Georgia. They only beat Florida and looked like shit while doing so... I think ND/Georgia would be closer than some might think... that might rank down there as far as the lowest quality of football in a NC game.

I'm an Irish fan and Lou Holtz gets on my nerves. The dude is the ultimate homer and you can't understand a damn word he ****ing says.

They will not be the worst. That Nebraska team that got killed by Miami was the worst to play in a BCS title game in my opinion. Miami only won by 23 but could have scored 50 if they had not taken their foot of the gas.

**Iowanian** · 11-28-2012, 11:21 AM

I'll root for almost any Non SEC team for the championship or head to head games.

I'm about as tired of the SEC as I am the Patriots.

The game will be close regardless if its Bama or Georgia. The matchup with both of them is actually not that bad for ND because of their defense and similar styles of play. Georgia played two real defenses this year in Florida and S. Carolina and put up a combined 24 points. And Alabama isn't quite the scoring team Georgia is so ND will have a good chance of limiting them as well. The real question will be can ND score more than 20 points because that might get it done for them.

If UGA beats Bama they'll have beat two (current) top 4 in the BCS polls, both on neutral sites. Weak.

I am not a ND fan, but my brother is and always has been. I have enjoyed watching them this year. I expect them to play well in the National Championship.

OzarksChiefsFan · 11-28-2012, 11:53 AM

Texas A&Ms D is not in the same class defensively as ND and they destroyed Alabama. ND is legit. There offense needs a QB but they find a way and to me they make their own luck. They stopped people and put them in situations where a mistake leads to a defeat. To me they have been the most entertaining team this year. I love great defense.

Sure, if they beat Alabama, it certainly improves their resume... so far they've played only two teams in the BCS top 20 and beat one, compared to 3 wins for ND, 3 for Alabama, 3 for Florida... they've only beaten two teams with winning records, and one was Vanderbilt.
