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

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

Stanford still had their old QB in vs ND. Once Stanford made their QB change they were as good as anyone in the nation really. Loved their LB core.

Nebraska had no defense. LSU would have pounded the ball at Irish' overrated defense like they did to Bama's defense in 11/12.Florida would have done the same. Notre Dame and Michigan were about the same talent wise.
Urban Meyer is improving OSU by recruiting out of state kids. Watch Ohio's best hs teams lose again in August to teams from Texas and Florida.
