I'm no fan of USC. My point is that ND defeated no one in the top 25 and is over ranked. As to USC's schedule, ranked teams they defeated were Oregon, Notre Dame and UCLA. So USC's schedule was not that hard and I agree with you on that point.

ND wasn't ranked in the top 10 before the season started for good reason and they defeated no one during the season to earn a top 10 rating.

Thanks, Jeff. I enjoyed your link and think its pitiful that those Ags hate Texas so much they'd root for USC. We rooted for every Big 12 team that played in a bowl and can't imagine anyone doing otherwise. Shame on them...

Notre Dame, may or may not be over ranked, but the BEAT USC except for a one-in-million bounce fumble...had that fumble stayed in bounds, USC would most likely NOT have played for the title this year.

When does ESPN start the series of UT versus the top 20 all time teams? I think we know how one game turned out.

The best part of the game was the TD off the VY knee-down lateral. I knew at that point if USC lost they would whine, whine , whine. And, I'll enjoy every whine immensely.

The season is over, going into next season you dont think ND should be ranked in the top 10? Why should USC be stay at #2 when they are losing Lienart, Bush, LinDale White, Offensive line?

Thank you ntnychik! Truthfully, the base of the tower is very large but it was all 'black' in the photo so I just cut it straight down and planted it in the field with Bevo!

Other thread locked because of this thread. Thought I would reply to you from this thread.

Lets hope that the NFL post season games give us what the BCS games did. Probably not likely!

It depends - is Bready Quinn coming back and more importantly is AJ Hawk still going to be dating Quinn's sister.

Did anyone else get tired of Musburger going on and on about Quinn's sister?

I got sick of their harping that Quinn:

... has the best arm in College
... is the smartest player in college
... is already playing at the next level
... is the best at handling pressure

In their mind he was shorted the Hiesman this year and the voting is already over for next year. He's it. Good thing in the game he proved he is not everything listed above. But that will not change the hype.

I believe Quinn will come back, his stock will rise by staying. He would get drafted if he came out this year... But not sure where... If he stays and stays healthy he will be a top 10.

With that said, the horns played one helluva game last night!

I hope Tampa and NY Giants win! Chicago whips Tampa again and NY gets revenge on Seattle! Then NY Vs. Chicago at Soldier field! :D

ND hadn't faced a defense NEARLY as talented as the one they faced in Ohio State's defense.

Quinn did ok, but clearly ND was outclassed in just about every way.

And fatarse Charlie STILL hasn't admitted that OSU was the better team. He probably still thinks the best defense he faced all year was Tennessee.

ND played like crap. Im not giving Ohio to much credit either. Ohio won, they were obviously better that day.
