IF ND can beat Navy and Stanford then the 10-2 finish would be a GREAT SEASON. College Football is very evenly balanced amongst the top 20 teams.
AlaBama came very close to losing last night. The Canes have had more than a few games this season they could of easily lost.
Ga. got rolled last night.
Ohio St w/ a supposedly loaded roster by Urban Meyer this year has been rolled twice.
College Football takes talent and some good fortune. As great as Bama is - they are beatable.
Every team in College Football is beatable.
ND has had a great season - they have crushed some very good teams who have very good records.
Yesterday, they ran into a Buzz saw w/ a rookie QB on the road. I thought our Line would open holes and we'd be able to run the ball. Once Maimi shut down the run game - BW couldn't rise to the occasion. And our D had a hard time stopping them.
All the hype and w/ Miami being at home and listed as the underdog only made it worse for ND as Coach Richt had his teams full attention. Miami played its best game of the year last week vs. a pretty good Va. Tech team. That worried me some going into this game.
Going forward - If ND wins vs Navy and Stanford - it will of been a great season. Stanford has inserted a new QB who is much better than Chryst. He is more mobile and can run just enough. But he is also a better passer than Chryst. Stanford still has a very sound / good D. Not as good as Miami's - but pretty good. Can't believe Shaw stuck so long w/ Chryst at QB. But this new Red Shirt Freshmen is pretty good which now makes Stanford dangerous again.
Beating Stanford on the road and beating a well coached David Shaw team where I think BK is now 2-4 vs in his last 6 games would be a great win and way to close out a great regular season by ND.
10-2 would catapult ND into a Great Jan 1 bowl game. And the next step in BK's re emergence as a coach would be to finally win a meaningful Jan. 1 bowl game vs a great opponent.
A Jan 1 Bowl win would be the first meaningful bowl in a lot of years for ND.
A ND finish of 11-2 would guarantee a top 7 finish. 11-2 would be a GREAT SEASON.
