Notre Dame is far better than I gave them credit for being, at the beginning of this college football season, to be sure.\n\nBrady Quinn has impressed me alot, and I am an old crab, for play-action QBs.  Brady has all the moves, all the "savvy" he needs to evade any defense.  Hopefully, his coaches will be ready and able to prescribe a plan for the ND offense, when they play the Univ. of Southern Cal.\nAnd as an Oklahoma Sooner fan, I still root for him to win the Heisman Trophy!!\n\nThe team should not have lost to Michigan; they should be undefeated, except that they played the Wolverines in Ann Arbor.\n\nI really pray that they beat USC, and doing so, \nhumble the Trogli-jens.  I hope the game of their lives, is the USC.\n\nI will wear their colours that day, that week, if they do~~~\n\nAS FOR FINAL RATING, AS FOR A BOWL GAME MATCHUP~~\n\nI predict Notre Dame being rated Number 5, and getting ready to play (DRUM-ROLL HERE) the Texas Longhorns, in the Sugar or Orange Bowl.  \n  AND THERE,  the final score:  UT-31, ND-30~~\n\nThank me later,\nR

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.

If they lose they will need, flordia to lose a game, Usc to lose the rest of season, and auburn to lose a game AND rutgers need to lose (probably to WVU) If all this happens it will be Michigan Ohio State in the NC

They still have an outside shot, but they are depending on things they can't control.  For them to make the BCS Championship game, they have to have several things happen.  They have to win out, and win the Big XII Championship.  Louisville must lose a game, or at least come really close to losing in all of their remaining games, as to make their BCS average go down.  I really think Florida has to lose another game as well for Texas to jump them.  Another thing that would really help Texas is if Nebraska wins out to win the Big XII North, that way when Texas plays them for the Big XII championship, Nebraska will have as good as a BCS average as possible.  That would help Texas's chances the most.\n\nHook'em!!!!!\n\nTrue, the computer rankings of the BCS score don't take into account margin of victory, but the human polls part of it does-the Coach's Poll as well as the Harris Poll.

No, ND'S is a long way from being a Big 10 team. They did dominate in NCAA Div 2, but they are going to have a much harder time of it as a NCAA Div 1 team. Notre Dame would be a much better candidate for the Big 10.

Notre Dame went 9-3 last year and all of a sudden they're a super team that's suppose to run the table...  They are without a doubt the most overrated team in the country.  They have to play Georgia Tech, Penn State, Michigan, and Michigan State the first 4 games of the year!!!  Not to even mention match ups with USC and UCLA later in the year...  Brady Quinn maybe the best in the country but that's only because of Wies's system.  JaMarcus Russell is the best QB in the country if you ask me...  Oh yeah...  and the Irish still don't have a good enough defense to win the national title this year...

I happy their up their because what if Norte Dame beats USC and ends up at the BCS title game against Ohio State, Michigan beat Norte Dame and that's unfair...they should kill the guy who came up with the BCS, their should be playoffs like NCAA final four....

Because Arkansas is simply too good they will destroy all teams they play from this point on!  And if it wasn't for all the hype Ohio st and Mich are getting they would and should be ranked in the top 4 period. every time they play the sports writers keep saying if they win this one welllllllllllllllllll they keep winning give the hogs their due!   GO HOGS GO

I think they are overrated and so is Brady Quin (Spelling). They have had some close games with some not so very good teams...heck last year when they lost to USC they moved up in the polls..when Fresno St did the same thing they dropped...there is a big bias for Norte Dame...I hate them...Got Twelve...we do!!!!!

USC is overrated but Notre dame just plain sucks. look at who they beat and who they lost to.

They already lost to them!!!

That's not a rivalry game, but its a traditional opponent for Notre Dame cause they are an Independent school and that's sort of considered like a conference game.... even though it's not.  That's also why Notre Dame plays USC, Tennessee, Michigan, and Michigan State every year.

they don't want a fair fight because they will lose!!!!!!!
