ok, ND has played #9 #14 #22 #25 and still have to play #5 #10 #15 the team that wants to beat them the worst and their offensive line sucks. they'll be 1-7. If they somehow come out of the stretch at 3-5, they'll go to a bowl game.
They also have to play Walter Reyes and Syracuse at the end of the season. In the Dome. If you thought that Chris Perry was good wait till you get a load of Reyes.
Have to have six wins to be bowl elligible. Or be a conference champion who has a garaunteed bowl berth (such as North Texas two years ago from the Sun Belt's inaugural season at 5-6 in the New Orleans Bowl). Since Notre Dame doesn't have a garaunteed bowl game every year as an independent (since they want to be elligible for the BCS), they won't be allowed to play a Bowl game. Sykotyk
They'll be bowl eligible with a 7 win season. I don't think they'll make it. They're so out of sorts that I bet that BC's game against the Irish will be a noon game. That's how bad they are this year.
See. Y'all not paying attnetion to what I said. "they'll be 1-7. If they somehow come out of the stretch at 3-5, they'll go to a bowl game. " The implication is that they will end up going at least 3-1. A total record of 6-6. (I am thoroughly aware of Syracuse being on the rise this year and a certain Mr. Reyes at running back.) I think 4-8 is much more likely. I would be very surprise if they even eked out a 6-6 record. ESPN likes to get one ND game a year just for the ratings no matter how poor they are. Looking at it, it may be Stanford in a 10:00 game. BC will probably be at noon. I agree with metroflip. (BTW, I will see you on the 15th, right?)
Just caught the end of the Miami v. West Virginia game. Two great plays. First was the WV TD. Helluva run. Second was Kellen Winslow's 4th down catch. Clutch play from your big play guy. When he caught that ball, you could tell Miami was going to get in FG range. WV looked broken, Miami looked inspired. Didn't see the rest of the game, but the ending was quite entertaining.
Winslow had another great play earlier in the 4th quarter. He took a screen pass, turned, and flattened the linebacker coming up to tackle him. I haven't seen a defender fly back that far since Bo Jackson KO'd Brian Bosworth a decade ago.
