You repeated exactly what I just said: the rankings do not mean anything until the BCS standing come out. This may come as a shock to you, but this is an opinion board. Obviously, you have no grasp of how to carry on an intelligent conversation. As far as your scenario that a defending champ could lose every player the following year, what planet has that ever occurred? I've already wasted too much time on you since you don't grasp what was actually written.l

Anyone see any similarities? [img] http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:dn...e/25/255427.jpg[/img] [img] http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:v6...ngham_getty.jpg[/img] In all seriousness, I do think Weis is still a good coach, but how in the hell did everyone proclaim him the Messiah after one good season in which he beat a bunch of average teams and lost to the good teams they played? Isn't that exactly what Willingham did in his first season? Time will tell I guess. BTW-I am a Michigan fan who absolutely hates Ohio State. Anyone who thinks goombah is being a homer needs to look in the mirror. When it comes to college football, he the the most unbiased poster on the board by far.
There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.

I used to work for a huge lawfirm, headquartered in Cleveland but with offices worldwide, in which the managing partner was on the ND Board of Directors. The attorney put tremendous pressure on the Athletic Dept (he is a huge alumni donator) to fire Willingham. I'm not insinuating that it's b/c Ty Willingham is black. But he was forced out b/c this attorney convinced the rest of the board of directors that Willingham was not "projecting the image" that ND wanted. And I agree about the premature way in which Weis was elevated to folk hero after 1 season. Yes, he did a very good job last year. But Willingham was doing well enough too. It's not like Weis took the team from 1 win to an 11-1 season. I'll never understand why they gave Weis that huge contract extension, esp. for all those years. J Buffer - thank you. If you're a huge Michigan fan, then you have to be feeling pretty good today. I have to say that I cannot root for either team in the ND-UM game each year because I do not like ND and, as an OSU fan, the prospect of rooting for Michigan sickens me.

as i was saying yesterday before all hell broke loose....
Notre Dame HATERS: the irish have the toughest schedule EVERY YR b/c they are the only team who plays a VARIETY. an sec school or a big 12 school for example gets to play the same teams every yr. they swap tapes w/ fellow conference coaches during the summer, they go to conference coaches conventions and clinics and discuss the upcoming seasons opponents,they recruit from the same pool of kids, parts of their staff were coaches elsewhere in the conference,etc. however.... notre dame who 'chose' to be an independent about 120 yrs ago will play california teams, then a few from the big 11, then sneak in a georgia tech, or tennessee like last season, or miami in the late 80s or florida st in the early 90's. notre dame was the first team to travel the country looking for someone's ass to kick. this is why south bend is called the cradle of college football. and as i said earlier, they still travel the country MORE than ANYONE else looking for someone's ass to kick.
I12--the big 12 is NOT lacking talent i assure you. if we had a tourney between the big 12 big 10 SEC and pac-10 i can assure you many a' gambler would pick the big 12. 0-4 colorado lost to georgia by a pt last week..... and texas was put in the top 5 this season b/c they returned more than a majority of starters from last yrs national championship team. yes texas gets a break by playing rice and sam houston, but texas/texasatm/oklahoma will always be one of the perennial favorites b/c of TEXAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL. it is the fountainhead of college football and a texas school is always dangerous. (remember texas atm almost beating texas in last yrs final reg season game with a qb who had never taken a college snap?)
