[mastapee]

Although they are better this year, they are once again debatabally overrated. Type ""notre dame" overrated" into Google, and youll get 103,000 results.

Heres a couple bowl outcomes: 41-9 and 38-21

Can you think of any other overranked NCAA Football team when it comes to bowl placements?

That's funny. We have a University over here called Notre Dame. Everyone who goes there thinks it's awesome, but nobody else does.

Who was the last team in three years to give USC a real challenge and almost defeat them? Besides that, bowl games are all about money and ND is the most popular team in AMERICA. Being their head coach is the best and toughest job in America, besides being the President. If there defense was a little better, they'd be playing in a BCS bowl game.

ill try to explain to you...... anyone with any football knoledge would have picked at the beginning of the year for notre dame to have 2 losses. that is viewing the schedule before the season started. now that the season is over, they have 2 losses.

absolutely true, but the what if's are always fun to talk about. imo, depending on how the playoffs would be set up, i think the championship game would be auburn and usc.

unless this team could have been in it. matt leinart doesn't want any of this d-line. http://www.guinnesslounge.net/users/...s_03/LSU01.jpg
