December 8, 200619 yr I watched this game some and both teams, were impressive. That story about the 'Bama player, whose brother was shot and lost his girlfriend, in the auto accident was heartbreaking....
December 8, 200619 yr Notre Dame is atleast a top 20 team... No, they're not.....Solid team, but not top 20.
December 8, 200619 yr No, they're not.....Solid team, but not top 20....was 'Bama overrated, at #5 then?
December 8, 200619 yr ...was 'Bama overrated, at #5 then? Probably.....just because they beat a ranked team doesn't make you a top 20 team.
December 8, 200619 yr Probably.....just because they beat a ranked team doesn't make you a top 20 team.Understand but it will certainly garnish them some votes and consideration, with a 14pt win over a #5.
December 8, 200619 yr Understand but it will certainly garnish them some votes and consideration, with a 14pt win over a #5. I agree....They may very well be ranked in the top 20 come the newest polls, but there are more than 20 teams that are better than the Irish.
December 8, 200619 yr I agree....They may very well be ranked in the top 20 come the newest polls, but there are more than 20 teams that are better than the Irish.I will agree and can you remember a year, where so many teams were upset so early, with others being so good but not talked about much. Before the season is over, there may be 6-8 teams rated #1 and 50-60±, that make the Top 25.
December 8, 200619 yr Probably.....just because they beat a ranked team doesn't make you a top 20 team. :lol: Blowing out #5 makes you one, especially when it isn't a fluke...ND has played well all year...
December 8, 200619 yr No, they're not.....Solid team, but not top 20. This is their second win against a top 25 team, the first one on the road. The only loss the Irish have is a 2 point loss to #15 Butler...they are top 20 worthy.
December 8, 200619 yr Waitaminute … I thought $EC teams didn't play anybody OOC?!?! My bad, wrong sport …
December 8, 200619 yr I will agree and can you remember a year, where so many teams were upset so early ND was favored by 3 so that means it would be close to a pick on a neutral court, so it's not an upset. Would anyone else like to see the Vegas odds makers put out a top 25 poll based on every team in at a neutral site?
December 8, 200619 yr This is their second win against a top 25 team, the first one on the road. The only loss the Irish have is a 2 point loss to #15 Butler...they are top 20 worthy. Agreed, and if there were no preseason rankings Butler would be in the top 5 right now.

Would anyone else like to see the Vegas odds makers put out a top 25 poll based on every team in at a neutral site?I never look at odds makers, don't bet. In regards to the upsets, I was also including all that have taken place this year. As for this game, regardless of who was favored, anytime an unranked team defeats a #5 ranked team, who may or may not deserve it....its an upset in my book. :thumb:
