I agree but Alabama/SEC run power football and thats the kind that Notre Dame plays. It'll be a defensive battle without a doubt. Alabama specializes in it and Nick Saban is the best coach in football. That's why I say Alabama will beat Notre Dame. Notre Dame hasn't even played an SEC team on their schedule. You can say they have a hard schedule but they should have at least scheduled a respectable SEC team.
Outside Alabama and perhaps Georgia which SEC team do you think would be willing to do a home and home series with Notre Dame or even a neutral site? How many of them leave their states to play significant none conference football?
if we don't beat michigan this weekend, fukk this season! i hate notre dame as much as anyone, but i can't help but root for my samoan bredren in te'o. i thought the dude lost his mind when he went to nd. i was pissed that ohio state didn't try go after him, and i thought he was a trojan for sure.
funny how he's on the brink of playing in the championship game and hes facing usc.
if nd makes it in the nc. most likely theyll play bama. and if they do, they seriously need to win the to battle and be the better defense to win. i just don't see enough playmakers on nd offense. but if my buckeyes could beat miami in 02, anything can happen

SEC teams just don't play games north of the Mason-Dixon line. I bet half of the players in that conference have never even seen snow before.
FSU should join the SEC. They're a football program and the SEC is the top football conference. Plus their #1 rival, Florida, is SEC. If they want a shot at a spot in the playoff beyond the conference champ berth being strong in the SEC will be the way to go.

I don't know, just speculating, don't follow the inner workings of athletic departments south of the Ohio River much, but Florida being in the SEC might be exactly what's keeping FSU from ever joining it. No reason to give up the recruiting edge being in the SEC brings to Free Shoes U.
FSU goes anywhere it's the Big 12, pretty sure they've already had some form of preliminary talks.

It's the complete opposite. Maryland and FSU being the only ones to vote against it tells you a lot about where they see their future. And it's not the ACC.

Going to the Big 12 gets them the same path. An undefeated big 12 team plays for the title, and if there is a one loss Big 12 team amongst other one loss teams history shows that Big 12 team will be one of the teams playing for the title against most likely the SEC champ.
SEC wouldn't be interested in FSU. They would look to go after a school like North Carolina. South Carolina and Florida would vote against the SEC taking FSU or Clemson.
I'll miss ACC basketball, but not the horrendously awful officiating. It's great for me now, my 2 fav schools are in the Big 10.
People may love the SEC, but the computers favor the Big 12. But anyways, I'm kind of hoping that both Notre Dame and Alabama lose. Or just a complete cluster**** with Georgia, Florida, Oregon and KSU also losing, but that has about a 0% chance of happening.
THE JOHN L. SMITH REIGN OF TERROR IS FINALLY OVER!!!!
Sorry, but that is cause for celebration. Two missed FG's, a fumble on the LSU two yard line, and some stupid conservative playcalls on 4th down (punt and FG) in the 4th quarter in the last game of a lost season, and we still only lost 17-13 to LSU. Should've won, but I don't really care, because John L. Smith is finally done.
damn, it's gonna be hard to beat UCLA twice to make the Rose (I wouldn't mind the Sugar to play an SEC team, but I think losing either of the next two games knocks Stanford out of the running since we're not attractive enough for an at-large bid with three losses)
btw how nuts is it that the perceived top two Heisman candidates are a freshman and a defensive player? does either guy have a legit shot at winning, or is Klein (or some other dark horse) going to walk away with the hardware?
