Note: ND played three teams from that dumpster fire. Yeah... look at the numbers I posted today Corey and you'll see who has the stones. In any event this UF schedule thing was injected into the debate by an ND fan so I responded. The debate was and will be going forward for the entire college football sports world is just how good is this year's SEC Champion? How will they compare to the Irish and who will be favored and by how much? Earlier in the year I didn't think anyone including Florida or ND could play with Bama and as the year wore on Bama looked more vulnerable and they were beaten in Tuscaloosa. Ga could beat them, UF would have a shot and certainly ND will have a shot too if Bama beats Georgia. The line for Sat. is Bama minus 7 points. I think I would take the points but I see Bama winning a close one. Possible lines for the NC game: ( remind me of this when it comes out) Bama 4 over ND ND 2 over Georgia
I saw somewhere that someone's peliminary line for the national championship game is Alabama -9.5 points and Georgia minus 3.5 points.
Those lines surprise me Sid. I am a believer in ND's defense and toughness. I think they keep the game very competitive. I am not sold on Georgia.
Dave who else besides you has declared this a "down' year for the SEC Champion? Spurrier thought the Tide could beat a few NFL teams.
I know BT... notice the :wink: icon in my post. I have a warped sense of humor in case you have not picked up on that! :wink:
Gotcha Tom....I was gonna say, "I should have been more specific!", but thought better of it.....now that I've had time to reflect, I should have been more specific!!! 8)
Spurrier said that early in the season...before the A&M loss. I highly doubt he has the same exact opinion now. Don't get me wrong... I think Bama is very good.... they are just not showing that they have their best team of the past few years. But one that will be favored to beat ND and one that I think will beat the Irish.
You girls have at it all you want......all I want to know is.... WHERE CAN I PRE-ORDER MY ROSE BOWL DVD!?!
Have no fear, Tom. This is the B10 AJ who uses his sense of humor to interject levity during the SB Tong wars. But my conference brother needs to be careful when fraternizing with the SB Domers. Like the late Crocodile Hunter, he may think that the vipers he is palling around with are friendly and charming but I can show him the holes left in my credit card by the fangs of a Houston diamondback.
You guys slay me. Lol All a poor Purdue boy can do is laugh, dream about what could have been and almost was, feel sorry for Danny Hope, and wish for a great coaching hire.
Even Bill doesn't stand by and let anyone just run roughshod over the Gator's schedule. Bill understands what it means to play our schedule as I am sure those other Gators do as well. I had a PM once not long ago telling me to stay the course and that while he was just a Gator fan lurking he appreciated the fact that I didn't just kiss ass and accept the BS thrown toward Florida on here... especially when it comes to their schedule. Then again... there are some that just don't care if you do but that's their choice.
I hope the Credit Card still works Bobda! Can I assume that the bet will remain the same if UGA takes Alabama's slot?
I've got an idea...how about a playoff?...just in the SEC... :lol: No really, if anyone hasn't paid attention to the fact that the B1G now has 14 teams, better get ready for four 16 team superconferences. It's coming, because that's the master plan....better make a choice ND, they're gonna force your hand, guarantee it!
