| My Notre Dame Rant..
I am sick and tired of Notre Dame being this high and mighty college football team. Mostly, I am sick and tired of Notre Dame fans whineing about how they deserve to be in the top 10 and a BCS bowl becasue they have such a hard, difficult schedule. And that their "quality" loss against USC is just as good as a win.
You know what I have to say to that?! BULLSHIT. If that's your attitude to your team being a legitmate BCS team, then I say Fresno State > Notre Dame.
I did some math on why Fresno is more deserving than THE Notre Dame Irish.
Notre Dame (8-2)
Fresno State (8-2)
------------------
Notre Dame Schedule W/L (52-59)
Fresno State Schedule W/L (65-59)
------------------
Notre Dame's two losses: 5-6 Michigan State, 11-0 USC
ND played both teams very tight.
Fresno State's two losses: 10-1 Oregon, 11-0 USC
Fresno played both teams very tight.
-----------------
Notre Dame has four of their ten opponents over %.500, and two of those teams are 6-5.
Fresno State has SEVEN of their ten opponents over %.500. (6-5, 10-1, 7-3, 8-3, 11-0, 7-3, 6-3.)
----------------
And I dont want to hear ND fans say, well Fresno is in a pathetic conference...when they ARENT IN A CONFERENCE at all. And if all else fails just point to the previous points.
----------------
In conclusion, Notre Dame is grossly over-rated. How about Fresno? Poor Oregon deserves to be aheard of these Fightin' Irish.
And don't let me take away from this team, congrats on turning the program around...but they aren't as good as the polls say.
