http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefootball/story/notre-dame-history-voters-on-side-to-reach-bcs-title-game-ahead-of-kansas-state-110212"K-State is a nice story waiting for a conclusion, a spot in the BCS title game. I just don’t see it happening for one main reason:
There is no way that an undefeated Notre Dame team is going to be left out of the national championship game.
That’s not based on any BCS-computer formulas. It’s about how voters see Notre Dame, and have seen the Irish for decades. It might even just be an accidental bias by now. But there is a reason the BCS rules were written around Notre Dame in the first place, to include the Irish whenever possible.
Two-thirds of the BCS rankings are decided on human voting. And college football has been waiting for years for Notre Dame to come back.
Historically, Notre Dame gets every break, every possible Heisman vote, every ranking, every bowl game. K-State’s history fit on a secretary’s piano, likely next to a fern."
