Are we going to have to hear all about Notre Dame again until they play a real team in USC?

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.

I don't think that's going to happen...\n\nMore and more sportwriters are coming to the obvious conclusion that the OSU-Michigan game IS for the national title.  They're realizing that if Michigan doesn't beat Ohio State in their game, then they don't deserve another shot at the title... this upcoming game WILL BE THEIR SHOT.  \n\nIf these teams can expect a rematch in January, they might was well not play any of their starters during their November meeting... why risk losing a key player to an injury, if they're assured of another crack at each other in January?\n\nThis is it, Ohio State.\n\nThis is it, Michigan.\n\nThe time to win the National Title is in November, not January. \n\nIf you win in November, January will probably take care of itself.\n\nCan't wait for this game...it's not a USC/Texas matchup for the ages, but they're the two best teams this year... I wish that Saturday would hurry up and get here, that's gonna be a great game...I hope!

It's possible, but I don't think it's going to happen.  That being said, I think the USC vs. UCLA game could be a lot closer than people are expecting.  This game holds a lot of meaning for UCLA not just because it's a traditional rivalry but also because of the national championship game implications.  USC is getting much more comfortable with their 3-4 defense they introduced for the first time this year (as opposed to the 4-3 defense of years past) and their offense isn't doing too bad either.

They are as big as they are going to get, There next game will be up against the big boys, since they have qualified for a BCS game, I sincerly hope they win if they have to play Notre Dame because Notre Dame does not desreve to be in a BCS game..but either way if they win thier next game that will be big for Boise St.....Oh Yeah... Go Trojans..USC

at this moment, it's Michigan.\n\nIf USC beats Notre Dame, then I would think that USC would be ranked #2.

Depends. If the score you predict happens, and the teams behind those two do not seperate themselves from the pack, a rematch may be the best option. If USC were to win out, and Ohio State wins by a margin more than three, i think the humans and the computers would favor USC greatly over Michigan. Notre Dame also has that chance, but it depends on the humans for their chances, as they would have just USC to boost the computer rankings, while USC would have both Cal, who had big computer rankings before they lost last weekend, and Notre Dame, also a big winner with the computers. Overall, i believe that the OSU vs. Michigan game will be close, but not close enough for the rematch to occur on January 8th.\n\nVisit www.bcsknowhow.com

It will work itself out this weekend after Notre Dame demolishes USC. I am very tired of people telling me that Notre Dame has not beaten anyone good this year. So this means that Georgia Tech (9-2), Penn St. (8-4), and Purdue (8-4) are bad teams? I don't think so! Notre Dame should get their chance at Ohio St.

texas...there getin the next tom brady from arlington,tx...(bowie HS)   he will be great and plus they still hav an awesome team....USC lost both RB a  reggie and lendale)a nd QB so they have NO chance

USC!!!  I would think momentum is on USC's side.  USC is starting to be comfortable with the 3-4 defense that was newly introduced this year.  Now that the defense has adjusted, this year's defense is not only as strong as last year's defense but quicker with the availability of 4 linebackers as opposed to 3 linebackers in years past.  That being said, let's not overlook UCLA.  I don't expect USC to lose, but let's exercise at least a little caution.  FIGHT ON!

USC\n\n1. To much fire power on offense. Simple enough said.\n\n2. USCs defense is very underated. They can stop just about anybody.\n\n3. Those USC wide receivers and the UCLA secondary. (its going to be ugly folks)\n\n4. National champ. is on the line and USC will be focused.\n\n5. History!!!!\n\n    All of this being said....thats the reason why they play the game.  Someone might forget to tell UCLA that theyre supposed to lay down and die. (you know kinda like Texas last year)

anyone that says no is and ohio state fan. so forget them i want to see the 2 best teams in football play.  usc will lose to notre dame and florida will lose to arkansas that leaves notre dame and notre dame got destoryed by michigan so what makes notre dame more deserving than michigan. SO MY ANSWER IS YES

This is a fair question. Remember, Notre Dame beat Georgia Tech at Georgia Tech and then dropped in the polls. Next, on their off week, they dropped again. Finally, they beat UCLA (yes I know if was close) and they dropped again. Thus, in fairness, Notre Dame has dropped even when they haven't done anything wrong. When they got their asses kicked against Michigan, they dropped big time - as they should have done. However, the other 3 times they dropped were unfair.\nI guess it would be better to barely defeat Ball State?? Dude, Ball state plays one ranked team - that was Michigan. Notre Dame plays 3 ranked teams...2 of which are top ten teams. Also, to the idiot who said ND plays Duke - that's next year. Are you already holding the 2007 season against them?

There's too much up in the air this year.  For the past couple or three seasons there have been one or two teams that, going into the Fall, looked like the main title contenders.  This year there are too many to count.  I think Auburn has a shot at running the table this year (like they did in '04), but this time they'll get the spot they deserve to play for the championship.  But Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa, Florida, Georgia, West Virginia, USC, Florida State, Miami (FL), LSU, and California all have legitimate chances of making it to the top of the heap.  That's what's so great about college football!  Every Game Matters!!!\n\nI love your shout out to the Dawgs (that's who I root for), but I'm a realist.  While they certainly have a shot, there are too many question marks left.  Will Joe T. step up as the QB we hope he can be, or will true freshman Matt Stafford win the job and lead us skyward for the next four years?  Will our young receiving corps all meet their expectations?  Will the defense continue to dominate, even with significant losses in the secondary and linebacker units?  Coach Richt is incredible, but can he truly lead us to our fifth top ten finish in a row?  Let's hope so.......

Well 1st of all Sanchez is having problems(rape case) and Booty is still hurting from back sugery. However their in the Pac-10, The Saddest of ALL the major Conferences. C'mon from what I've seen only UCLA,Oregon and MAYBE Arizona(yes, the wildcats..good recruits) have a chance at taking a run at USC. Plus with the Overall #1 recruiting class(again)..including 2 RB's they should be OK. Not National Champs though. The Buckeyes w/Troy Smith could run at the title this year really only the Wolverines stand in their way..although Penn St. and Iowa are very good in a stacked Big 10...Purdue,Wisconsin and Minnesota could cause headaches for alot of teams. The National Crown will run through the SEC this year as Florida,Tennesse and Georgia will duke it out...but watch for Texas and Oklahoma along w/Florida St. amd Miami to challenge along with Notre Dame and the Heisman Winner Brady Quinn(unless Adrian Peterson runs for 2,000 at OU)\n\n  The Doctor is IN

Notre Dame is much more overrated, they barely...BARELY won 3 of their games... Georgia Tech, Michigan State, and UCLA (Miracles they won.)...all of which are unranked. If USC had One miracle this season they would be #2 without a question. It might be important to add...Notre Dame Hasn't Beaten a Ranked team all year (penn st. doesn't count...they aren't ranked anymore.) USC has Beaten 4 quality teams; Arkansas, Nebraska, California, and Oregon. Notre dame hasn't beaten anyone of the like. If you could, Look at Notre Dame's Schedule, up and down, and pick out one win that you would consider, QUALITY. Anyways they only way to tell is when the two collide...I like USC's chances at home. The Point Im trying to make is that They definitely deserve a top 5 spot or a national championship shot more at this point in the season than Notre Dame. So maybe ask the same question about Notre Dame.\n\n\nGo Big Red.

USC has a terribly vulnerable schedule, and well...so does Notre Dame since they are playing USC.\n\nI guess USC wins at Notre Dame, and Ohio State vs. USC final game :D
