JQK Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Remember if ND goes 10-2, they earn an automatic bid to a BCS game correct?Only if they finish in the top 8 in the final BCS Standings. If they are in the top 12, then they are considered for a BCS game spot.Top 14 actually, but I'm not sure 12-0 gets them in the top 8, given their schedule.If ND is in the top 12 or 14 or whatever the case may be, they are getting a spot.The Irish are a NCAA cash cow and television ratings giant. The NCAA won't leave them on the outside looking in.The NCAA doesn't have a say in the matter.Well, they do, but ok... Bowl Executives are gonna leave out a team that will buy tickets and fill a stadium better than almost any other team? If you think otherwise you're just not looking at reason.It's not about who deserves it so much as it is about the cashflow.

BrySmalls Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Lou Holtz is a smart man, yes you've read that correctly.He got you all talking about the Irish before the season has begun and especially after their 7-6 campaign last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Lou Holtz is a total clown.He was on the local morning news this morning, to promote some contest that Dr. Pepper is running. Usually, in situations like this, the hosts will ask a couple of relevant sports related questions (like "how do you think Penn State will do this year?" or "so you think ND will be in the BCS game?") and then segway into the promotion.Well, they started with the sports questions, but Holtz didn't even really answer, he just started saying "Let me tell you about what Dr. Pepper is doing...." "that's why I'm here today"...When they did finally get him to talk about football (after he mentioned Dr. Pepper around 100 times) he didn't make a lot of sense, and just seemed like a cartoon character.... which is (I guess) what he's become.I don't watch college football so I'm not sure if that's just how he is, but he came off like a total idiot to me this morning.

The echoes WILL be awoken!!!It's because of that easy schedule that I could see them as 12-0 and at #15 in the BCS. I'm not saying MSU will be that good but would you support an 11-1 USC v 11-1 MSU game as your national title game if Notre Dame is 12-0? (Assuming Florida loses a couple times) Besides, Notre Dame doesn't deserve to be in the national title game anyways - they will not win their conference championship.

Just sayin' and by this logic they might have to beat the Big East Champion Pittsburgh right? Assuming Pitt wins it...Also, a team that could beat USC and goes and undefeated wouldn't deserve a BCS bid/National Championship Game bid?

Yes I am a bit of a homer But, IMO any team that goes undefeated in any year that there aren't 3+ undefeated teams should be in the title game because with an undefeated team, nobody has proven they are better than that team through 12 games of the season. They might not be the best team, but they've been the most consistent and of the 10% of college football that they've played nobody's better than them.Also, ND isn't playing the Citadel in the middle of the season *looking at you Florida* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
