Interesting comments about ND's chances for the BCS title: http://www.collegefootballnews.com/2006/TQ/Tuesday_Question.htm I would put ND in a big group of 12-15 teams any of which could win the NC. No heads on favorite this year.
Irish have the schedule to win a NC, sufficiently tough with some very big games that will be on Nat'l TV. Win them all and we are a lock. But I don't think that anybody will be undefeated this year, could be a very contentious BCS. Terry
Terry Have you seen WVa. schedule? I don't know what they've lost but based on their bowl performance last year, that schedule should be a cakewalk.
Heading in to last season I thought the ND schedule was impossible but with off years and no bowls by several teams like Tenn, Purdue and MSU and the very mediocre year of Michigan that schedule was very doable and a lot easier than first look. I have a feeling....just a feeling that this year's ND schedule will be more true to it's appearance and 9-3 could be a better year than last year's 9-3.
