The Truth is heard. I knew you were a Pronghorn.HAHA. To bad one player is not going to work vs USC. I feel for ya. To bad Young didnt win the Heisman – think we both know Quinn has that wrapped up next year.You want to talk overrated. One thing is true 1st u must be underated ( as the Irish usually are ) before you can be overated. take it any day of the week. USC 41 Texas 17 .

Doug, I’m actually a Texas fan I just think ND is overrated. I definitely agree though that I’d rather see Ohio State vs. ND than Ohio State vs. Oregon.

Brian dont take it to heart , on what i say, just giving you sh!&. people think there team always deserve a shot. what it boils down to ,is i dont want to see Ducks play.and nobody else unless you live in that depressing state. just like Flr St. who cares, they dont belong there, but May thinks they do (IDIOT), but doesnt ever give ND any credit for anything, and would rather see Ducks, in his mind Rutgers have a better chance to win a Champ. then the irish. i think he is still upset that the irish didn’t recruit him. Go Skins

Sad enough to get a typical B.S. response from you! Preseason must mean something to someone , doesnt to me. What i do know is USC & Pronghorns have’nt moved from there spots sense then.Mich was 3rd in the nation till they lost and went to 12th, guess that does make ND look weak.lost to a 1# team and the Irish didnt move one spot. Explain the ‘Just a Good Game Theory” to me again.College ball is unrefined and has many holes in it . The Nation needs to relize that a play-off is needed.ND has just been ND. but lets face it, you get the talent you win games.ND will be a force to reckon with next year and years to come.so spew all your satistacle B.S out you lips and come to an understanding that you either hate the Irish or you love them , no in-between. I think the Mark May Bus is Leaving for Ohio BUCK-OOOO

Dugman, you’ve got to be freaking kidding…

“6 ranked teams at the start, 3 in the top 5.”

That argument is beyond sad, relying on preseason rankings and a “good loss” is an act of desperation and/or delusion. Notre Dame only beat two teams with freaking winning records all year, one of those being a Michigan team without their starting RB for 3 quarters.

People wern’t talking ND Football in the beginning.Ranked 44th not much to talk about . let’s get one thing clear for all you Markie May What-a-Be’s. 6 ranked teams at the start, 3 in the top 5.Irish beat all of them except USC , and i dont care what you think of the IRISH , but if you love college football , then that had to be one of the best games that was ever played againt such a dynamic team in over 2 years .and the last time i checked the Overrated Irish did it, Texas is last years Sooner. and Oregon well it’s Oregon, Fiesta Bowl is the bowl to watch , and yes i can smell the Roses , but who cares.Blow-out on the way ,better “DUCK”.

BOOHOO we had to travel far. BOOHOO. Cry me a river. What are you going to say when ND gets blown out and Oregon wins? That post smells alot like another ND fan named IrishJT. He also knows his argument is weak so he attacks the way peaple wright and spell. it is pretty pathetic.

Mike… Although I do agree Oregon is this year’s Cal, I think you just made the most pathetic argument I’ve ever heard.

“We had to travel far.”

“Oh yeah, well you didn’t play the crappy team we lost to!!”

It’s sad that once mighty Notre Dame has fallen that far.

You all need to take:

1) English grammar lessons;
2) Spelling lessons;
3) Typing lessons;

or all three.

Oregon is a piece of duck sh^t. They lost, at home, to USC by 32 points. Their uniforms are hideous (that outght to be enough to disqualify them from all post-season play).

Someone mentioned that Oregon played Washington and Stanford “tougher” than Notre Dame did. But was Oregon playing against their former coach, on the road – after travelling across two time zones? Did Oregon travel across three time zones on Thanksgiving weekend to play Stanford in their LAST HOME GAME EVER IN THE STADIUM? I didn’t think so.

You also point out that ND lost against a bad MSU team, but Oregon didn’t. What was the score of the Oregon-MSU game? Oh wait, they didn’t play. You talk about a bad argument.

Oregon this year is Cal last year. You will bitch and moan that you deserved a BCS bid, then go lose in the Insignificant Bowl, proving everyone else correct.

Unfortunately, Oregon got “snubbed,” otherwise ND would crush them in the Fiesta (Oklahoma gets the opportunity to do it, instead).

“Ducks” rhymes with “sucks” for a reason.

Good argument (and I agree with your ordering of the 2 loss teams), but when you play an approximately equal schedule like ND and Oregon have you have to look an wins and losses. The Irish lost to a bad Michigan State team at home and Oregon didn’t. You can start comparing margins of victory and “good” losses when you rank teams with equal records.

And nice try on your random removal of Stanford and Washington from the common opponent equation…

Just ask USC the only non-tyrone willingham led common opponent between Oregon and Notre Dame, who they would rather play again, oregon (destroyed 45-13 at oregon) or notre dame (were down to their last play and needed a last second score and push to win 34-31). Ohio State is the best 2 loss team followed by auburn and then notre dame, with oregon behind all three of them. Also, to say the BCS computers have notre dame ranked where they should be (10 after the last one) is wrong because the computers do not account for margin of victory. Some computers, when adding in margin of victory/loss have the irish as high as 4

You don’t think teams get up to play Texas, USC, Ohio State, Penn State? That’s a stupid argument.

It may have looked like Notre Dame was struggling against Stanford but look at it this way. Teams get up for Notre Dame, it’s a given… and when a 5-5 team is playing their last game at their stadium and needs a win to become bowl eligble, you would expect a team to play with a little more emotion and keep it close.
