This is the worst bowl game yet.......unless you are a bama fan. Hell I bet most bama fans just went to bed after that interception.

But did anyone seriously think ND could compete with Alabama at any level?

Not really but I was hoping for the cinderella story. I did expect ND to at least show up. This has to be the worst beat down in NC history.

Notre Dame was never as good as their record indicates.

We beat the #2 Gators 62-24 in the 1995 Fiesta Bowl.

On paper ND has no shot, but then again this is the worst Bama team in the past four years, even worse than the three-loss team they fielded two years ago. Their secondary play is shaky, and if ND can exploit it, expect to watch a nail-biter.

Agreed. The entire top tier of the SEC is questionable in my eyes... 6 of them in the top 10! This is the product of media bias and weak-ass, unbalanced schedules.

The only truly tested team of the entire bunch (Florida) just got beat the hell down by Louisville. It was disgusting listening to the talking heads pre-game. They were trying to think of ways Louisville could compete with the vastly superior athletes of the "SEC" (NOT "Florida"). I smiled when I saw the score was 30-10 and guffawed when I realized Florida was incapable of running a hurry-up offense when they absolutely had to. A team with a losing record in the B12 rolled into Tuscaloosa and beat big bad 'Bama. The same 'Bama that, coming into this season, everyone knew would be relatively down. You guys had a dumpster fire in the entire bottom half of the conference, even Mississippi State was a freaking fraud.

That A&M team only had to beat TWO BCS teams with a winning record this season to go 10-2 and earn a heisman. One of those wins came against the fraudulent Mississippi State team. Oh! Oh! They also managed to squeak by that 6-6 Ole Miss team that a terrible Texas team destroyed.

Deeply flawed LSU loses to the second best team in a weak ACC. They also barely beat that same Ole Miss team... Surely you guys expected LSU to "eat Clemson's lunch"... 445 yards later...

So of the 6 SEC teams in the top 10, 4 have played and gone 2-2 (both losses against lower ranked opponents). I like OU against A&M. I think ND will compete with 'Bama and has the potential to win. Unlike last year, at least I'll get to watch an MNC. Go Notre Dame!!!!

yeah, ummm it's going to be a slaughter. poor ole Irish don't even know they don't have a chance. they'll play them tough in the first half but come 3rd quarter it'll get ugly. I'm going to say something like 35-17

I sure as hell didn't think ND stood a chance but it looks like I gave them to much credit still.

side note:
I haven't seen the Irish suffer like this since the great potato famine of 1750
