Back to the iron sharpening iron as mentioned earlier.

ND's schedule received a lot of hype and a sort of sensationalism built around a once proud program, but they simply did not face the weekly talent that SEC schools faced. In addition, the same could be said about the coaching staffs.

Not only did they not face SEC level inter-conference competition, they did not face any inter-conference competition.

They need to join the ACC or whatever in football and see if they can win a conference title before they ever sniff a BCS game again. CFB has passed them by long ago. SEC and other top conferences are just too competitive now... I don't care how many top 10 OOC games you schedule per year.
