Perhaps, and im nog putting A&M down I am just saying that beating Miami is not really an achievement to brag about.
ND did beat some ranked teams this year, but only Michigan and Stanford are still ranked, and Michigan is barely ranked. Stanford is doing good, but not great. ND has some tough games ahead and if they win them all they deserve a shot at the NC.
Oklahoma to be fair has not beat any great teams either, but TT and UT are good.
At this point neither team has earned a big win, and the win on saturday will go a long way. Either team could win but I would bet on OU. As a Big 12 supporter I am also rooting for OU, but it is nothing personal against ND. You seem solid enough.
I know there are big games left, and you can never count anyone out. Boston College has just one win this season but every ND fan out there remembers the 1993 season, final game of the season a week after ND beat #1 Florida State to take the #1 spot, Boston College came in to Notre Dame Stadium and kicked a 41-yard field goal as time expired to win the game, dashing ND's most recent hopes of a national championship. Granted, BC was ranked #12 at the time, but still, almost 20 years later, everyone, myself included, remembers that game.
I think Notre Dame's defense will keep this game from being a high scoring game but I'll take OU in this one. I think the score will be close but OU will find a way to win.

That was pre-ACC before BC started playing like every ACC team aNd started sucking. Hardly relevant to today. ND could win but they are the underdog. It will be interesting though to see how ND handles itself against a truly tough team. Definetly the game to watch this weekend.

My point wasn't really about tomorrow night's game. It was more about even if Notre Dame wins tomorrow night, arguably their biggest game of the season, they can't let up with Pittsburgh, Boston College, or Wake Forest the 3 weeks after.

If ND can beat OU they should have no problems beating these teams. It would literally be like Rocky getting knocked out by a 5 year old in a wheelchair a week after beating that Russian. USC is another matter.
Win or lose I just can't wait for this week to be over. At this rate I'll have a new nominee for most annoying college football fanbases: Oklahoma Sooners. I'm sorry we pissed in your cheerios 55 years ago and ended the 47 game streak but jeez you guys are acting like we're one of the cupcake Big 12 bottomfeeders and this game is going to be a 50 point blow out.
For the record it's really no one here on C-D but out in the rest of the internet and the "real" world.
This little flame is constantly being stoked by the national media. Of course it spills over onto some fans.
LMAO!! I get what you're talking about now. LMAO! Being sober helps. LOL.
Aha!
It was actually my wife who noticed it...damn, that lil' Longhorn girl...smart ***. But seriously, what is with that small covered wagon? It's like the Smart Car of early 19th century cross country travel. And those midget ponies?
I'm sure if I ever understand what the heck a twirler is (as opposed to a West Coast spinner ) I will concede that OU has the best darn twirler in the land.
Crush Notre Lame and put these poor ol' posters from 1984 out of their misery, would ya'?
There should be no doubt how good Notre Dame is. Goin with Oklahoma (cause they looked that good to me) but it will probably be a close game.
I think SC is gonna roll Notre Dame. And if they don't then that means we beat SC by 3 tds.
