Predicting ND vs Iowa in the Fiesta Bowl

Good point. I wouldn't mind playing the Hawkeyes since Ohio State is coming up on our future schedules.
Hopefully the Irish get the Fiesta Bowl as I already have tix, plane reservations, and hotel for my wife and I. I've got no desire to go to Atlanta as I was just there a couple of months ago. Would like to draw a Big 10 opponent as well, as although I'm a Texan, a game against Houston offers zero upside IMO, but I'd rather see the squad play Houston in AZ as opposed to anyone in GA.

iowa couldn't handle the speed of our irish as they haven't faced anybody all year that even comes close to matching the speed like that. it would be the worst matchup for them
I really hope Notre Dame doesn't pull Houston in a bowl game. As stated earlier, it's a no win situation for the Irish. Plus, I don't think we match up well defensively w/ the cougars. It would definitely put BVG's scheme to the test... however, I am not sure he wins this match up.
I've already looked at 4 different bowl projection sites and every single one has ND playing either OSU or Houston. It has to be OSU IMO. That is a game if you lose its to a perceived elite team program. ND beats OSU that is a huge win for the Irish. ND vs. Houston is a no win situation IMO. ND wins they will say "oh, you beat Houston", they lose to the Cougars and everyone will be mocking ND.
Being an Ohio boy, my dream is for ND to beat OSU in the CFP title game, this would be pretty close.
If it isn't OSU, I hope it's Iowa or FSU.

I've seen predictions for ND playing OSU, UNC, Iowa, and FSU in either peach or fiesta bowl. Who knows what will happen?
Hope it's FSU/ND in the Peach.
I would prefer not to play Houston. Unfortunately it looks like that may be the reality.
Don't be so sure. What about their respective resumes and that game last night would have you putting osu ahead of Iowa?
Michigan win is better then any win Iowa has. Iowa has a salty D and stayed with Michigan St because of it but did not impress me as a top 5 team team. I would be very surprised if the committee keeps them above Ohio St.
Based on last nights game, I truly believe ND beats both MSU or Iowa. Not impressed with either team at all. Or OSU either. BIG is weak, no question about that.
Houston, IMO, would hammer this defense. I don't want that match up at all. I believe, Iowa or OSU would be a good matchup for ND. Though I worry about OSU. I believe ND can beat Iowa soundly.
My guess is ND vs Ohio State. Much more money draw for them. I agree that Iowa's offense is mediocre, and while they have a decent defense they couldn't handle our OLine.
It's amazing how you keep calling me a loser for posting here, but within 30 seconds of all my posts or me coming here to read other posters you post about it. Are you so obsessed with me that you have an alarm that goes off whenever I come on the board? That type of obsession is really unhealthy. I know I'm worth reading but relax. It's Sunday. Go see a family member. Find a hobby outside of me. It'll be good for your anger issues

This coming from the person throwing a daily tantrum on this site because Northwestern is ranked behind. Keep crying!

No crying just comparing two teams based on the criteria provided by the committee
I can only imagine that the psychopath from Northwestern has returned. The ignore function is a wonderful thing.
I think the Rose bowl is formulated on the highest ranked Big 10 v PAC 12 that is not in the play off
That's what they said about Temple and BC too. I think ND versus either MSU or Iowa would be a close game. I think ND versus OSU is a loss.
