Saw a lot of stuff on Twitter last night about how ND would be the 7th or so best team in the SEC. I was wondering myself, so let’s see:
Alabama: Clearly a loss
Georgia: Loss
Florida: Loss (but due to Florida’s poor offense, it would be close)
South Carolina: Loss
LSU: Loss
Texas A&M: Loss
Vanderbilt: Close, but probable win.
Ole Miss: Win
Mississippi State: Win
Tennessee: Win
Missouri: Win
Arkansas: Win
Auburn: Win
Kentucky: Win
So, there you have it. Notre Dame would be the 7th best team in the SEC. But just wait. Imagine if Oregon had played Notre Dame? With that speed, the Ducks might could have hung 60. What if Florida State and Clemson had played the Irish? Well, it might would have been close, depending on which of those teams decided to play. But make no mistake about it, both Clemson and FSU would have run right past Manti Te’o.
To paraphrase from Django Unchained. I would say Auf Wiedersehen, but that literally translates until I see you again. Since I hope to never see you again, I will simply say goodbye.
Goodbye, Notre Dame.

I think Ole Miss and Vandy could beat ND as well. Clearly the most undeserving/unprepared team to ever play for the BCS title. Think about this – ND squeeked out a win in a 3 OT game, at home, that Ole Miss just beat by 3 TD’s. It took a goalline stand by ND to fend off a USC team that a crappy GT team just beat by 14 points. I am not sure that 7th is not too generous.
Ole Miss is a loss. They manhandled PITT who ND struggled mightily against…at home….
That was no BCS game. That was an opportunity for old men like Meyer, Holtz, and Musburger to make fools of themselves.
ND might beat Auburn and Kentucky but there is no way in hell they beat anybody else in the SEC.
Bama played ND just like they played us re sets and schemes. Do not see much difference in the point spread if Dawgs had been there instead of Bama.
Top 3 teams…Tide, Dawgs, and Aggies.
I agree with Will Trane. I think ND would be 10th best in SEC.
I can not waite for Ohio State next year the SEC will destroy them
I agree in all except Vandy. I think they would beat ND too!
