My Harris Poll Vote - From the Bird's Nest

If anyone is bias, it's you dude. If you think that Notre Dame would beat any team in the top 10, you're crazy.

First of all, biased* Secondly, I never said ND would win the national championship this year. I think their resume is just as good as any undefeated team's resume right now and that's what rankings should be based off of.

Sorry Buckman, didn't realize I had to be grammatically perfect to make a point on a sports board. Anyway, their resume' isn't impressive, in the least bit. I could point out 5 teams with a loss that have a more impressive resume' than the Irish. Bottom line, they're overrated and are absolutely not the third best team in the country.

[raginsaints]

Why don't you point out how bad the Alabama resume or the Oregon resume is? Oregon's signature win is a win against Arizona.

[CajunSaint]

Who has Alabama beaten? Michigan?! Another overated team that plays no defense and is average at best? Arkansas? A team that lost to ULM? Western Kentucky, team that beat Kentucky in overtime? Ole Miss? Mizzou without their qb? FAU!?!?!?!?


Take Alabama out the top-10.

now, that last statement is funny right there! i don't care who you are. that there is funny! anyway, in the bcs polls, a&m @br moved too high and south carolina dropped too low. at least they rightfully have southern cal in the top 10. geaux cajuns!

In my prayers every night, I pray for Notre Dame to end up # 2 in the BCS and get to play Alabama in the NC game. I so look forward to seeing the Irish obliterated by 40 points on a stage that matters. Of course, that won't happen, as the vastly overrated Irish will have two losses.

Played a tougher schedule?! C'mon man. Stanford is way overrated at 17 and they got hosed yesterday. Notre Dame is better, but they are not a top 10 team.

And Alabama has played a tough schedule. Norte dame deserves to be where they are

[ManAboutTown]

Alabama started the season ranked #2. They've won their games and USC lost. They're ranking has more to do with where they started than anything. Notre Dame hasn't played anyone and they've moved up the rankings at warp speed. Were they even ranked to start the season?

You ND haters crack me up. Is there any other team in the country that has as polarizing an effect as ND? I distinctly remember getting crap for pulling for them during the '88 season. They won the NC and still got crap about them. Truly a case of either love 'em or hate 'em.

Yankees!

Yankees!

Touché'! :-)

Not getting the ND hatred. They are a good team with a great defense and a top notch coach. Zero TD's given up by the defense over the past 4 games. Thats pretty good. By seasons end they will have played 5-6 Top25 teams with two of them against Top10 teams on the road. If they run the table they deserve to be in the title game.

I think the ND lovers and haters are both funny. There is a whole lot of reasons why ND and the national sports media created and serviced both camps. ND has gotten way too much love when they didn't deserve it... so they are hard pressed to earn football respect... even when they may deserve it. Personally, I think they are top 10 material this year.
