Notre Dame gets blown out in Sugar Bowl, World wonders why they were there

Lurch1982 · 01-04-2007, 12:17 AM

I turned it off after Notre Dame ran out the clock in the first half instead of pushing up, and turned it back on to see LSWho up 41-14 (meaning ND hasn't scored since the 2nd quarter). Awful game, waste of a BCS spot on a 2-loss team when there were better teams out there that got snubbed out of the BCS (Rutgers for one).

This combined with the Boise upset should at least **** up the BCS next year.

The result didn't surprise me, ND's crappy pass defense would ensure that they'd lose by at least 20.

Heh. That was an insult to LSU, having a prettyboy QB, cheeseburger coach, and just plain overrated team come in to play them. LSU deserved better. But they proved once and for all that ND has no right to play in the BCS.

I don't think Rutgers should have been in the BCS unless they beat West Virginia. But they deserved the Gator Bowl. Or at least better than some bowl not on ESPN. Frankly, I would have broken the no three teams from a conference rule and put in Wisconsin.

Oh, and I think, had LSU not screwed up some early games, they'd be in the title game. The way they're playing now, they sure look like they could beat OSU. -CSM

Boise St. shoulda been in a BCS bowl from the start, proof that they either need to work the rest of hte bugs out of the system, or cut to a 8 man tourney.

Haven't we been saying that the BCS is gonna get ****ed up next year for the last 5 years?

Well, after last year they shifted rules around to allow non-BCS teams to get in (so we got to see Boise). I think if Florida would have been snubbed, the whole system would have gone ape****.
