The writers who picked Notre Dame to win should be fired or demoted to covering men's tennis. Alabama is going to make Notre Dame look like a high school team.

That's, like, your opinion.

I would have picked Notre Dame. They are really good. Maybe even the best NCAA football team of all time.

Everytime ND has been picked to be in a close one or lose, they've stepped up.  I think they can win and at worst it will be close.  Very disciplined team.  I don't think this Alabama team is as good as last years or that the SEC is as good as advertised.

This. ND will make a game out of it at the very least. I expect them to win. No one has told me why they think Alabama is so good. The 2 good teams they beat gave the game to them. LSU could have won if they played normally instead of Ron Prince'ing it up. Georgia could have won if 1. Bama didn't randomly go for 2 and make it or 2. Georgia would have known how to stop the clock at the end of the game.

Obviously, Alabama still won those games, and they definitely deserve to be in the NC, but it's ridiculous to think they are going to dominate ND.

there were 63 chances to pick against an SEC team, of those 63 chances only 12 times did someone pick against a SEC team.  Of those 12 picks 5 were against Mississippi State.  That means the other 8 games gave the opportunity to pick against the SEC 56 times, they were only picked against 7 of those 56 times.

What I'm trying to say is I won't be watching Nebraska vs. Georgia, humanity loses

The SEC may be overrated, but it's still miles ahead of the ACC and Big 10. I'm surprised more people are not picking OU to beat Texas A&M, though. The media has really been sleeping on the Sooners this season.

They were "exposed" in the loss to lowly KSU.

Didn't ou beat the collies pretty handedly last year?

They beat them by more than 40 points more often than not.

helps when 3 of their bowl games are against the BIG, 1 against the Big XII, none against the PAC-12, 2 against the ACC, 1 against domer, and 2 against the Big East.

Which is another way of saying they have 2 difficult teams in the bowl season. Though I'd take Pitt against

This. Plus A&M is in the powerhouse that is the SEC.

Yes, I agree, but that is also how I read it: I'd take Pitt against "any SEC team".

Big surprise.  We lose the guy that accounts for something like 75% of our points for the last two years and they don't think we will be any good.
