re: Was ND THAT out-talented in the NC, or is it development?

Iron sharpens iron. If they are playing their weak schedule, they'll never get better. The Aggie defense for instance dominated an Oklahoma offense that had a tendency to score. A lot of that had to do with going through the SEC gauntlet.
ND beat that Oklahoma team last year too.

I don't think it's so much the Iron sharpens Iron etc that SEC fans make it out to be. Clemson beat LSU, NW beat Miss. St etc. It happens every year.
What I think it is that separates Bama right now is their bowl game prep is on another level. Bama's best 2 performances of the year were the game against Michigan and the game against ND. Those 2 teams are talented at the least (maybe not as talented as Bama of course. Bama beat the crap out of LSU in the NCG too (not scorewise in the same fashion but LSU had no realistic chance to score in that game so Bama could have won 3-0, although LSU's D was good enough to keep them alive).
Saban does a great job on a week to week basis, but for 5 weeks he got to study an already weak ND offense. I think that's the main reason
