Notre Dame Football...overrated

Ummm, well they can head to South Bend if they want to forfeit the game, but might want to stay in Ann Arbor where the Irish will be... but Ricky has not always been the smartest coach ;).

haha thats great, i hope you are a michigan football fan and come down to south bend for this weeks game...oh wait, the game isnt even here it's in ann arbor. You must truly be a hardcore fan to know something as simple as that. I suggest that you took to Rich Rod and tell him to start back up that illegal practicing that they have been doing, because lets be honest Michigan will need all the help they can get. The Big house? Please! More like the little puppy house

in the past, yes. not this year though. this year is the winning one.MARK MY WORDS!!!!!

And Charlie Weis is a genius? What happened to his "distinct tactical advantage".

Actually, the Fighting Irish will show up at the Big House and expose Michigan. The Wolverines still lack a quarterback who can run Rich Rod's system, and the defense will not be able to contain Notre Dame's passing attack.

It's okay Michigan, maybe next year.

Go gators. Booya

Irish 12-0 this year. They will face Florida in the BCS championship.

Notre Dame is going to have a hard time overcoming Washington State's line. That game will be their toughest...

They also have to face the depth of Washington.

If they can get past these two games, they should have a perfect season.

I agree. Michigan will crush the Domers; final score will be 27-27.

Hey I like your sarcasm but seriously UW is going to be much improved this year. They played tough against LSU, a team that is much better than Notre Dame. But for a key interception return for a touchdown and a fumble at the 2 yard line, the game could have gone the other way. UW outgained LSU and had more first downs etc.

WSU? They are better than last year but not by much....so yeah, your point stands.

A lot of people are saying the Pac 10 could go 3-1 against Notre Dame (USC, UW, and Stanford win. WSU loses).

Watch out for Stanford--their frosh QB looks good and Gerhardt is one tough big RB.

awesome.

Noter daim hasn't been relevant since the early 90s and Wichigan has to cheat to even have a chance at a winning record. It's hard to be "overrated" when most don't even "rate" them at all.

And then maybe they can keep USC's margin of victory under 4 touchdowns.

A Michigan fan not even knowing where the game is? I am shocked.

they're still the most valuable college program though in terms of what really matters: $$$

I'm a lapsed Catholic who prays for Notre Dame to lose, and I believe my prayers will be answered several times.

Seriously, LSU is not very good this year, not that much better than ND, and as improved as UW might be they still aren't that good. UW can get fat off of the overrated Pac1+9, but they shouldn't be favored heavily, if at all, against the Irish.

Stanford? Don't think so.

I see the Pac1+9 going 1-3 against ND.

The "overrated" Pac 10 went 5-0 in bowl games last year. I know this is a different season....most pac 10 teams will actually be better this year than last. Oregon may have been overrated this season or maybe Boise is actually decent--we'll see. Too bad Notre dame doesn't play Oregon State or Cal. I think those are the teams right behind SC this year. SC should win and UW or Stanford do have a chance. I see the pac going 2-2 vs notredame.

in this day and age, there is no reason for a school like notre dame to be a national powerhouse.

in this century there are always going to be 20-30 other teams better than the irish.

they're a relic from a bygone era...now just a minor university who should join a conference of less-than-elite football schools--they would thrive in that situation.
