I would agree, but odds are that they might eventually lose to one of those teams, and then the media would have a hard time pumping them up.\n  I am not a USC fan, but I hope that they stick it to notre dame, just to show how low they really are. I wasn't impressed with '' the dames'' last year when my Buckeyes beat them, nor was I impressed when Michigan kicked their tails. If they somehow get another shot at OSU for the NC, I would be very disappointed. Notice how I didn't say scared. I have no fear of them.

if Michigan winz itz gonna be like 27-25...but if Ohio St. winz it'll be like 34-20...dont' forget Rutgers haz to play West Virginia & Rutgers probably won't win that game(and it'd be split between Lousiville, Rutgers & West Virginia...Lousville beat WV...Rutgers beat Louisville & WV will probably beat Rutgers)....Florida does NOT deserve to play in the Championship game, did u see the way the played against S.Carolina?...USC will get beat, if not by Cal then by Notre Dame...Notre Dame doesn't really deserve it, cuz if they can't beat Michigan they definatly can't beat Ohio St....Boise St. shouldn't get it cuz they played like crap against SJSU...and plus they dont' play hard teamz...Florida will probably luck out & get to play in the Championshp game...but like yesterday in the Wisconsin game one of the commentators said "all these 1 loss teamz r tryin to make their case to play in the BCS game, but Wisconsin isn't & they're as well balanced as ne 1 loss team"...Wisconsin will go 11-1 & won't be in the Championship game cuz they didn't have that hard of a schedule, but like Lou Holtz said about Notre Dame, itz not their fault all these teamz they played weren't good(Notre Dame & Wisconsin's only loss iz to Michigan)...all i kno iz, if Michigan plays like they did against Notre Dame & Ohio St. Plays like they did against Illinois(or Michiganz D does wat Illinois did-Michiganz iz better ne wayz)Michigan will walk all over Ohio St....i think i got it figured out...if Akransas & Florida play for the SEC championship game & Florida loses...and Notre Dame beats USC, it'll be Notre Dame v.s. the winner of Michigan-Ohio St. Game...but if Flordia winz they'll play the winner of the Michigan-Ohio St. Game

undoubtedly USC!\n\n1.  USC plays at home.  with 92,000 fans screaming, notre dame won't be able to handle it.\n\n2.  USC's defense has been playing great.  they held high-powered oregon and cal to only 19 points combined.\n\n3.  notre dame can't cover dwayne jarrett and steve smith.  jd booty will probably throw for more than 300 yards.\n\nnotre dame is a good team, but they aren't good enough to knock out the trojans this coming saturday.\n\nfight on!

He possibly could win a National Title at Notre Dame.  How long it will take is another story.  He has to be a good recruiter.  His success as a coach will depend on well he recruits in the future.

Well, to answer your question about the yards...I went to their stat page and totalled 329 yards in 11 games with 2 games (Penn State and Northwestern) holding the other team to negative rushing yards and holding Notre Dame to 4 yards.  That is pretty impressive.  But I didn't look at their passing D or anything else...Granted some games when the O gets a big lead, the other team will not run much

Notre Dame & the Kansas City Chiefs!

in ONE game of college football, any team can beat any other team.  this includes notre dame's ABILITY to beat USC.\n\nhowever, given all the circumstances, it is unlikely that notre dame will win.  USC will win for sure.  here are some interesting notes:\n\n1.  coach weis has reviewed all of USC's offensive & defensive plays this year\n\n2.  notre dame returns nearly all of their team from last year\n\n3.  USC will be playing for a chance at the national championship\n\n4.  USC's crowd will be too much for notre dame to handle\n\n5.  notre dame's secondary will not be able to stop USC's receivers\n\n6.  USC's defense is playing better and better.  they shut down the high-powered offenses of oregon and cal.  they have the ability to shut down notre dame's too.\n\nso can ND win?  yes.  but will they win?  no.

Notre Dame and Penn State

People just love to hate Notre Dame! Look at their schedule on how they start every season! Michigan, Michigan St., Georgia Tech, Purdue. Those are great teams they they battle against! Then they get Air Force,Navy , Ucla,etc. The only easy game in that is Navy! Then they Usually get tough teams again(USC,Flordia St.Boston College, Stanford(those were good teams in the years they played them) The Big Ten starts of with teams like Northwestern St, Ball St.and University of Ohio. Some even play Division 2 schools. Then they play  Northwestern, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana(improved this year)and Iowa. No one says nothing about their schedule. Notre Dame has a tough road and no respect when they lose to a team like Michigan. What happened last year against USC? They lost ,but played a hell of a game! \nTo answer your question, they are very underrated!!\nGO IRISH!!

USC Doesn't deserve a no. 3 ranking, they lost to an unranked team, the shouldn't even be in the top 10. The majority of 1 loss teams lost to ranked, or were ranked at the time, teams. Gators lost to auburn, louisville lost to rutgers, west virginia lost to louisville. This demonstrates a bias in the bcs. You can also see it in the officiating of the pac-10 games where some questionable calls always go in favor to usc. If notre dame keeps it's game up, despite the fact they're basically scrimmaging against the service academies, they might beat USC, dashing their hopes at a title game. But I think to get quality teams, take your pick from any number in the SEC, excluding the red-headed step child, Vandy. It'll be the winner of the OSU/Mich game vs. an SEC team, (most likely Florida, they're the kryptonite to Arkansas). ACC is defunct as a league, especially when you have titans like FSU and Miami scraping the Barrel, and Wake Forest !?!?! is ranked. Big East hasn't convinced me, and I point and laugh at the Big 12 and, WAC and Mountain Divisions. BCS Champs, in a nail biting, grinding nightmare game, Gators come out on top, by the slimmest of margins. Only as long as they can stay healthy. OSU is gonna take a few hits in the Mich Game, but will still win, at the cost of injuries to linchpin players. Simply because it is such a vicious and bitter rivalry.

It should be a good game, and Brady Quinn has a good chance at accomplishing those stats, even exceeding them. I predict Notre Dame wins, 27-24.

They are not playing or have they performed at their current ranking.\nThis is a Team that was blown out by 20 to USC and blown out by 26 against michigan.\nThey may be 10-2 but did they ever win against any big teams?? \nthey barely beat a UCLA team that is 6-5. they were down by 20 to Michigan state before michigan state essentially gave up the game. In my opinion to be ranked high u should have at least beaten a good team. Air Force? Navy? Army? Michigan State? North Carolina? Out of those 5 teams only 1 team (navy) had a winning record. But when it came time to play to play the good teams, the choked and were blown out.\nThey have the big time players but once again they just couldn't always play to their potential. Brady Quinn did good this year and single-handedly carried Notre Dame in the USC game. Darius Walker was a good running back but he never really came through in the clutch situations, such as fumbling ast the 7 yard line in the USC game.\nI personally think that for once just because they met qualifications to be in the BCS doesnt mean the should be there. many other teams should be there but wont get to because Notre Dame is the media's golden team and they willl get in.

Notre Dame will be number one.

No, Ohio state won't be a contender.  they lost way too many starters, especailly on defense, which was their gimme last year.  It will be somethin else if Ohio State comes up wit it.  My pick is NotreDame with Brady Quinn @ his best.
