I never intimated that your weren't complimentary of UGA; but to assume "Bama, Auburn , and LSU would definitely beat ND" is quite short sided. Regardless of what you think Notre Dame's most attractive match up is.

I never said that. I do think based on recent history, Alabama crushing ND is a fair bet. I realize all of this is speculation.

And I'm not saying LSU and Auburn have a better shot. I'm saying that when you consider that LSU, Auburn and UGA will likely prove tough matchups for ND regardless of when they play, taking the one with the biggest "brand" is a smart move. GA is the biggest and most prominent state, Athens is the best town, UGA is probably the next UT in terms of major state U brands.

I cannot say that I disagree with any of that. Good response.

Add to that we really have not locked down Georgia recruiting as well as we would like....and LSU has Louisiana locked down tight. It DOES make sense that they pick us. Any of the four (LSU, Auburn, Alabama or Georgia) would be great to watch, though. And yes, in light f Alabama's recent success, it is safe to assume Notre Dame wants no part of them.
