The lower half of the SEC is a very weak group of teams so playing in a conference--even the mighty SEC has its drawbacks when you can beat any of these teams and use your 2nd and 3rd string after half time.
Mix in some cupcake directionals like W. KY, Florida Atlantic and W. Carolina (where did you find them?) or Towson and LA Lafayette etc. and you have all of the makings of "scheduling for a BCS birth" type recipe for a high ranking in the polls.
Tide only played three tough teams--TAMU, LSU, Georgia--and we know they lost to one and had to come from behind to win the other two.
ND schedule starting out this season featured several teams that had double digit wins the previous year (Stanford-USC-Michigan-MSU etc) and had 9-10 previous season bowl teams on it
That was a whole lot tougher slate than what 'Bama had lined up with one FCS and three directionals that had no chance against the Tide.

The top 6 in the SEC, probably even Ole Miss and Vanny, would destroy Notre Dame.

I'm not sure how you mistook this forum for the NAMBLA forum, but you and your child-fricking brethren are not welcome here.

The lower half of the SEC might be weak, but there is a reason for that. They had to play Bama, LSU, Florida, Georgia, A+M, and South Carolina.
Auburn, Miss St., Ole Miss, Vandy, Tennessee would all beat Navy, Purdue, BYU, Pitt, Michigan St., Boston College, and Wake Forest. Most would beat Miami and Michigan.

You know how I know you don't know a fricking thing about football?

Don't lump in the entire bottom 8 together. Miss State, Ole Miss, and Vandy are all good teams. Tennessee was dangerous when they had their minds in the game. They all just happened to play 3-4 top 15 teams in an 8 team SEC schedule. That'll hurt a lot of teams. The top-heavy comments are stupid. Usually top-heavy doesn't apply when top is considered HALF of the conference.

Exactly- they are 2 for 3 against top ten teams.
What is ND's record against top ten teams this season? You had two overtime wins you squeaked by, where are those teams ranked right now?

Well stated.

Michigan you say? The team the starters didn't play the second half against. Lower tier SEC is how you described that team. Okay.
Pitt, just Pitt, enough said.

You beat a BYU team that couldnt move the ball on san diego state, had 3 pts offensively! If watching that game did not scare the domers than i dont know what did but if you couldnt beat that BYU team by more then 3 then you guys just cant be very good. You beat Navy, Purdue, BC, michigan state is horrendous not sure if you saw them play this year, miami is a joke, the mighty wake forest demon deacons, PITTSBURGH at home in OT are you kidding me?? a USC team with 5 losses, oh and you beat michigan at home by 6 pts when we could have won by 60! Basically you played a schedule with big name schools who aren't very good. You would have lost by 2 tds minimum at tiger stadium at night.

When ole miss skulldrags pitt the domers will come crashing down

oh and what does last years records have to do with anything? What was ND's record last year?? And when teams play them next year what are they going to say, "oh boy ND must be good they went 12-1 and then got crushed by alabama in the finals so they must be good this year" i dont get your logic. i thought ND was supposed to have prestigious academics when it seems like every poster has no football logic.

Are you trying to respond to the OP?

Easy Frankie First Year.
Have you seen UT play cuz I have and with the way Tennessee has played the last 3 or 4 years we won't be beating anyone of consequence. Let alone Navy, MSU, ND, Michigan, or Miami (well maybe Miami). The future looks good with CBJ at the helm but next year we most likely will be going anywhere from 4-8 to 6-6. It is going to be a rough couple of years for UT fans.

Nd is = to Mich, Bama will beat you down so bad.
Stanford lost to Washington a team we destroyed.
The top six teams in the SEC would beat ND. Any one who disagrees with that does not know football or is a biased ND fan!
