I'd disagree there. Remember, they were ranked #2 in the preseason polls this year. How absolutely retarded does that look now?:biggrin:

Genius?! Guru?!

Notre Dame is a disgrace and an embarrassment to this sport. The biggest problem with college football is not "there's no playoff", it's that "there's a Notre Dame"...Notre Dame can be described in one word, "Irrelevant"...

Fucking bullshit that a deserving team has to sit at home every year so that the country's "college football illiterates" don't fucking cry (NBC and ND fans)...I am sick of everything having to do with this undeserving, low-rent, half-assed, piece of shit team...You flat out suck, period. There is not a single BCS team that wouldn't have blown you out this year and there are 3-4 teams in non-BCS games that would have destroyed you as well. The fact you had the privledge to play in this game is the biggest injustice the BCS has ever produced to date.

graphic but in the end the truth. i watched ND play many games. should of lost to UCLA, north carolina played right with them for a while,michigan state should have beat them, and obviously they cant win big games. this kinda makes me wish wiscy could have gotten the BCS berth or rutgers but oh well. in my opinion either of them would have lost to LSU as well but not 41-14

All wins under Charlie the Hut (opponent's final record in paranthesis):

2005
Pittsburgh (5-6, including a win against a I-AA team)
Michigan (7-5)
Washington (2-9)
Purdue (5-6)
BYU (6-6)
Tennessee (5-6)
Navy (8-4)
Syracuse (1-10)
Stanford (5-6)

2006
Georgia Tech (9-4)
Penn St. (9-4)
Michigan St. (4-8)
Purdue (8-5)
Stanford (1-11)
UCLA (7-6)
Navy (9-4)
North Carolina (3-9)
Air Force (4-8)
Army (3-9)

In fairness, Notre Dame did play seven bowl teams--beating five of them--this year...however, the manner in which they got destroyed at home by Michigan, pounded at USC, and blasted by LSU, took most of the luster off of that fact. I don't think they were as overrated this year as they were last year (during which they had wins over a grand total of two teams with winning records).

I see your point and where you are coming from...but playing 7 bowl teams means little to me in an era where 64 teams make bowl games. Example: In 2006, you could play 12 bowl teams with the following schedule:

Central Michigan
New Mexico
San Jose State
Nevada
Middle Tennessee
Troy
Rice
East Carolina
Tulsa
Western Michigan
Kentucky
Houston


Further: Penn State and Purdue beat absolutely NOBODY this year during the regular season. UCLA would have been remembered as a...actually, they wouldn't have been remembered at all save the fluke win over USC. I like Navy but they don't really generate much in the way of quality wins either. Georgia Tech, well, they were tied for 25th in one poll, unranked in the other, and that's about all one can say about them.

Out of the teams they beat with winning records, Navy, Penn State, Purdue, and UCLA were unranked before their bowl games...and Georgia Tech will certainly not be ranked after (nor will Purdue, Navy, and UCLA, all of whom lost bowl games...Penn State probably sees #20 or so, maybe 18). Bottom line...winning games of significance means to me beating other teams that matter...teams that are in the top 15, teams that beat other ranked teams, teams that finish in the top 2 or 3 of their conference, teams that make BCS (or at least upper tier) bowl games...to that end Weis has beaten NO ONE. Penn State this year is the closest thing to a team that matters, and they were 9-4, unranked, and had beaten one team with a winning record (or was it 2? I forget Minny's record heading into the bowl game) going into a marginally upper tier bowl.

Finally, the point I was making about their defense being unable to show up in big games that Mr. LOL! YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT FOOTBALL LOL! jumped on me for: points against in real games the last 2 years:

2005
USC: 34
OSU: 34

2006
Michigan: 47
USC: 44
LSU: 41

They've played Michigan State 2x...they gave up 44 last year and 37 this year. Charlie Weis has beaten a lot of crappy teams and a few mediocre/decent ones...he has beaten no one that really matters in the final analysis, and the defensive efforts in those games can only be described as horrid. He is just as responsible for his defense as he is his offense, and other than a boxer tackling guys 35 yards downfield, he has ZERO to show for that when it matters.

The NoD scout site has deleted everypost basically from 30 minutes before the game started along with all threads/posts predicting a NoD victory. Sad yet hilarious.:lol:

Wow. Cal shutdown their board after the Tennessee game, but at least they didn't destroy all the evidence. Oh well, they have to come back online eventually.

I still think last year's Notre Dame team was much better. The thing is they haven't changed anything this year from last so teams have been able to gameplan for them. That's why their offense is fairly mediocre and their defense, well, it's bad.

Russell outplays Quinn as LSU wins Sugar

PAUL NEWBERRY

Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS - JaMarcus Russell cocked his head, glanced toward the towering Superdome stands and soaked up the pleas of the LSU faithful. "One more year! One more year!" they screamed.
The way the mammoth quarterback played against Notre Dame, there seems little reason for him to spend any more time in college.
