Holy bee geez! Are you serious? Watch them play, cause obviously you haven't yet. This Alabama team is as good if not better than their previous two national championship teams.

Let me guess your a Vol or ND fan

Bama hopes ND gets there.

Personally, I want to see Oregon/Bama.

I hope Notre Dame goes undefeated and ends up #2. Then they get face an SEC team that will stomp them. I would love to see Lou Holtz spitting and yelling about how great Notre Dame is right before the game. Then watch Mark May laugh at him after the game.

Let me guess - most of you thought OU would pound ND in Norman last night...

By the way - that's the first time EVER that Bob Stoops has lost 2 home games in a season at OU, and he has been there a long time.

I did not say that I thought ND was better than Alabama. However, I find it hard to believe that any objective fan who has actually watched them play would not agree that this ND team is for real and is more than "a little above average".

Wait until the strength of schedule numbers come out and then let's see you explain those.

However I would like to see the game, it would have a strong National appeal. ND is perpetually overrated. Although they are good this year, they need to win at least a mediocre bowl or two before calling them "back".

Roll Tide

LSU fan here and they don't have a chance against Tide next week. ND might do OK against middle tier SEC teams but the big boys would destroy them. I honestly think MSU and A&M would take them too.

Bama Proud, I've known Eddie Lacy since he was six and played at the playground with my son. He was as fast as lightning back then and was nicknamed Speedy. He was a terrific baseball player too.

Who has ND played? Oklahoma hasn't won a big game since 2000 or 2001. Common opponent of ND was Michigan. Bama beat them 41-14 in Dallas. ND beat them 13-6 at home. I realize that isn't a comparison that you'd want to hang your hat on, but that's what we have. So, who else has Notre Dame beaten? Stanford isn't close to the Stanford of the past three years with no Luck, Gerhart and the linemen and receivers they've lost. Oklahoma isn't called Chokelahoma for nothing. Miami? nope. USC is toast. Alabama has to play LSU next weekend and A&M the following week, maybe the SEC East champ if they don't lose a game. The Irish have USC, who lost to ARIZONA today, Pitt, Boston College and Wake Forest left.

I hope that Bama and Notre Dame do meet for the crystal ball. It'll be three titles in four years for the Tide. Not too shabby for all the hype.

I guess with that comment you must think I'm a Vol fan? HAAAAA..Its hilarious seeing all these ND haters.

But they haven't played them yet... So far Bama has only played lower tier SEC teams, a weak out of conference schedule (save Michigan, who is not that good), and has the best games ahead of it still, even though LSU is not as good as everyone says that they are and A&M is not quite a complete or deep team, either. I think that A&M is a better balanced team than LSU, but not as spectacular defensively, so LSU may have the edge. Also, Texas A&M is in the west, so it cannot be the east champ.

ND has not played a single FCS school, and even the FBS schools that it has played have been mid-to-upper tiered schools when they were scheduled.

That being said, I hope that Bama loses, but I don't expect it. Bama is a well oiled machine that is playing like a good NFL team right now.

And, no, I am not a Vols fan.
