Two teams you would love to have lose their first game.

[pikehead]

Bama and Michigan......would be great

 

[IrishBlooded]

Texas and Bama

 

[Irishjohn68]

Texas for one.

Ohio State is always fun to watch lose.

 

[MTIrish98]

Alabama and USC

 

[1Redrum]

Texas and Bama....ND can then take care of USC for their first loss in November.

 

[wfeldmann]

Oklahoma and Alabama.

 

[SiberianKnightmare]

If Alabama isn't in your top 2, you're doing it wrong.

Bama HAS TO lose 2 games to be kept out of the playoff, whether they win the SEC or not.

 

[Bodizephax]

Texas and Texas again.

 

[cgvr]

Texas and Texas again.

Hey, I didn't get to wish you good luck in the Olympics. I'm sure all this hard work will pay off for you!

Go Irish!

 

[Rydiez]

Do we dislike USC? Sure, but we need them to beat Bama, run the table, and we give their first loss and thus our signature win. Bama has other opportunities to lose.

 

[irishalice]

Texas!

18 days....

 

[chitown sot]

ohio st and alabuma

 

[IrishHerb]

Everybody except ND.

 

[twalsh]

No doubt Texas and Alabama. Would love to see a victory over Bama go on to USC's resume. That can do nothing but help us, in potentially multiple ways.

 

[dagimpper1]

Bama and Michigan......would be great

BAMA & Ohio St

 

[dagimpper1]

BAMA & Ohio St

Assuming ND will beat texas

 

[NDSMC78]

I have to disagree with most of you guys. I have never pulled for USC to win anything, and I am not going to start now.

I've mellowed in my old age, but I used to absolutely hate USC, then it was Michigan, then it was Miami. I no longer really care about what other teams do until it has an impact on our post-season opportunities.

 

[Classic Irish]

My top five most hated teams:

1) southern cal
2) the University of Southern California
3) the USC Trojans
4) the Trojans of USC
5) the southern cal Trojans

 

[FLballcoach1]

Remember when the "U" was number #1 on the hate hit parade?

 

[NDskins]

meatchicken and suck eyes

 

[Okie70]

Clemson and Fla. State. Alabama will have plenty of competition in the SEC. Clemson and Fla. State not so much; except each other. Would hate to have to have both wind up in the playoff. Maybe Auburn and Ole Miss can get the upsets.

 

[SiberianKnightmare]

Alabama is the only team that HAS TO lose twice in order to get left out. They RARELY lose 2 games. The SEC West is as down as it's been in 3-5 years. The only hope of keeping Bama out of the playoff is losing to USC. The SEC East is not going to hang a loss on Bama this year.

 

[candid]

Bama and Michigan......would be great

Ohio State and Notre Dame, lol
