My thoughts are that there is no way ND can get up by a couple of scores early, but if a couple of bad things happen, Oregon could be up 14-0 early in the game. I'd rather be somewhat guaranteed to be within a score going into the 4th qtr.

I would rather play ND just to shut Lou Holtz up.

Rumblings that we will play the ND defense and the Oregon offense.

I think I want ND because of better bbsing. I also like that we can be against the whole SEC now since they likely won't have a dog in the big race.

We would roll ND.

We'd beat ND by double digits.

Oregon would be like last year's game @ OKState. Winnable, but we're not that used to shootouts.

I'm gonna be pissed if a one loss team sneaks into this. I don't care who we face, as long as they're worthy (unbeaten).

ND. More prestigious win. Easier win. Although Oregons defense would be like facing WVU again but worse along the front 7.

Just need nd or Oregon to lose. Don't want a disputed mnc.

ND won't beat USC, so you can stop acting like they will compete for a #2 spot.  We will beat Oregon by 40.

Oregon has the smallest playbook in the NCAA. I feel like bill watches enough game tape to figure out every single play they have.

No one will want to watch a KState/Oregon championship game.  If we played ND, the whole country would be on our side.

Chances Oregon vacates every game within 5 years due to cheating?  65%
I would rather go back to the Alamo than have our brand tarnished by their stench.

Let's get ND and America can come together, for just one night.  It's the kind of magic that only happens when elites clash on the biggest stage.
Lots of good points!

It'd be funny to play ND because they have the most historic football program and have, well, Futility U.

Chris played QB (at least tried) under Kelly, I'd be willing to bet $1,000 he knows exactly how to read their play calls.

I think Notre Dame would be the most fun, but I just don't think they match up well with USC. We will probably end up playing Alabama.

I am curious what you thought of Alabama's chances of losing prior to yesterday.

Thought they had a way better chance of losing than Oregon does. Still think that. Am right.
