Some of you are too nice when it comes to these things.  For me, there's a handful of schools that if they win the national championship in any sport,  I just write off that year as being one where it wasn't really worth playing if that was the final result.  ND is one of those teams.

Well, you won't have to worry if "the SEC is the best conference in the world". Surely the best conference representative should be able to beat a non-conference team. Go Irish!  :fuelfire: :-)

How about $50 provided it is AL vs ND. The loser donates the money to this web site. We can make it less or more; make it lite on yourself.

I'll do the same bet with Georgia. Georgia has more NFL-caliber players on its team right now than Bama. They just have an extremely conservative coach. He needs to stop being a *****. Grantham was a good choice. God knows, Willie Martinez sucked. Mike Bobo isn't too much better, but he has gotten better, if that means anything.

Nope. I bet on sure things. Plus, I will be pulling for GA to upset AL and then an @ss whipping on ND.

I'll take that bet for $50. I predict Notre Dame will win the National Championship this year.

Considering 'Bama is currently a 10 point favorite, hope you have your money ready.

Vegas also had Oklahoma beating us by 10, so I am more than happy to put my money where my mouth is...Regardless, I think it will be an excellent game and have the nagging suspicion it will come down to a goal-line stand for Notre Dame.

Let me re-word that for you:

No SEC team has ever lost to a non-SEC team in the BCS Championship game. In fact, no other conference has ever had both teams in the BCS Championship game.

Considering that Bama just beat THE DOUBLE DIGIT SPREAD by DOUBLE DIGITS, I stand by my statement that Notre Dame is the MOST overrated college football team of 2012.

Time to pay up. AL will be in the hunt next year also but they will have to get by Texas A & M, LSU, FL and a few other SEC teams. This should be a reminder that teams that do not play stiff competition have no business playing for the National Championship.

As a dieheart LSU fan, hats off to AL and coach Sabin.

Above your last post in the left hand corner there is a icon to donate under several credit options.

Good luck to N.D. next year. Just stay away from top SEC teams. :-)
