I know they will send ND to the championship game if they win at USC, because people overrate ND all the damned time, and it seems even moreso this year, since they don't have PSU to senselessly goggle over anymore.

There's that, and the little detail about them being the only unbeaten non-probationary team, who also happened to play the toughest schedule among any of the contenders

In light of the fact that the wholly unimpressive Georgia squad could meet them in the title game just makes your SEC provincialism sad.

Thats right they all played a fbs school among other cupcakes this year

Which is one more than Georgia has (Florida) or Alabama (LSU).

Do you think Georgia has better wins than Stanford at home and @ Oklahoma?

Which will be roughly approximate to ND's two wins. I'm not seeing the imbalance here.

You guys are forgetting that Missouri and Tennessee and Ole Miss would all be 12-0 in any other conference.

Beating Mizzou in Columbia is as impressive as beating Stanford in South Bend.

Don't get me wrong, I'm totally against an all SEC title game.

So you'd favor Mizzou over Oregon at home?

assuming ND lost to USC.

That's a huge assumption

Like many regents, McMillen heard the rumors late Thursday and early Friday. The regents were essentially force-fed one question to mull over the next 72 hours: What sane soul wouldn’t sever a 59-year relationship with the ACC and its member schools if it meant another $9 million a year off the top and untold millions when the Big Ten TV deal is renegotiated?

“We had two days to swallow this and we only heard from one side,” McMillen said. “We didn’t have anyone from the ACC come in and tell us why we shouldn’t leave. We didn’t talk to the athletes or the coaches and hear their concerns on both ends.

“If you’re a freshman athlete, you should be allowed to move schools based on the fact that no one said you were going to be catching plane rides to Lincoln, Nebraska, and Iowa City, Iowa, when they recruited you. I feel for them. We’re doing this in a vacuum.

“Frankly, Gary Williams and some other employees of the athletic department got out there and sold this before anyone could even form another opinion. Nobody was on the opposition side.”

If only Alabama and Notre Dame had a common opponent....

So we can agree that Notre Dame was significantly better than Georgia last year on the basis of their common opponent: Michigan State.

Beating Mizzou in Columbia is as impressive as beating Stanford in South Bend.

“If you’re a freshman athlete, you should be allowed to move schools based on the fact that no one said you were going to be catching plane rides to Lincoln, Nebraska, and Iowa City, Iowa, when they recruited you. I feel for them. We’re doing this in a vacuum.

Alabama is probably a much better team then Notre Dame, but I don't know how you can say that about Florida or Georgia

Please, no one feels for these kids.

Based on this statement you're giving a significant home field advantage for both teams.

If UGA played Notre Dame 10 times this year, you'd probably have two 5-5 teams

Beating Mizzou in Columbia is as impressive as beating Stanford in South Bend.

UGA wasn't very good last year

Oh. You're actually serious

Tell me again how Ohio State is going to ground and pound Florida, man.

Tell me how a game six years ago, featuring zero Georgia teams, is relevant to the discussion that Georgia has no business playing for the national championship this year.

So the problem here is that you can't read for comprehension?

Of course. The winner of that game has an autobid to the BCS, regardless of rank. Winner will goes to the orange bowl probably vs. Acc champ.
