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

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

Put last years Michigan and Notre Dame's teams in SEC and LSU, Georgia, Aggies, Florida and SC would have beaten Notre Dame. I don't know if Michigan could have beaten any SEC team.The media loves Notre Dame. Oregon would destroy Notre Dame. Name one good team Irish legitimately beat.Refs robbed Stanford.

Michigan was good enough to be within 5 minutes of beating USCe in the bowl game last year. They didn't win, so of course it is meaningless, but they had the talent to compete, and that was obvious throughout the game. Michigan had 5 losses last year I believe and they were to 1-3 in the AP, USCe & Nebraska
ND had wins over multiple teams who put guys into the NFL year after year. NFL teams don't care what conference you are in; if you can play, you get drafted high.
I said in a thread before that I believe A&M, Bama and UGA were better than ND, but UF/LSU/USCe all had inconsistent units that let them down at times. I think those are more of toss ups
But I think the separation is bowl game prep as opposed to a weekly thing like is seen in conference play
