Is this Years Notre Dame Team the Most Overrated Team in College FB History

[BigJelly]

Just answer the polls if they are overrated and what should their rank be.

FFS they can barely beat unranked teams (MSU and UCLA were lucky wins).

Their oppenents records:
Gerogia Tech 5-1
Penn State 5-3
Michigan 8-0
MSU 4-4
Purdue 5-3
Stanford 0-8
UCLA 4-3

So teams they beat have a combined record of 23-22. Their upcoming games are against extremely weak teams (other than USC). So why the fvck are they 8th.

Either way I get to look foward to the USC game. The funny thing is in the ND/USC pre-game show the announcers will say how evenly matched these teams are and anyone can win it. And then by half-time the broadcasters will have to backtrack and try explain why USC is destroying ND. (I predict at least a 2TD lead by half and a 3+TD USC victory).

FYI I'm a badger fan so I have no bones with ND other than the fact they are so overrated.

Because the game last year was neck-and-neck, and just on a lucky break USC took the lead in the last seconds?

Seriously, it doesn't matter one bit what they're rated now, it only matters what they're rated as when the bowl games are being decided. That's why they play the games, that's why the bowls are not decided pre-season. It's so the ratings can be properly adjusted throughout the season.

UCLA is a good team. Michigan State was a good team, until they flopped against ND.

Edit: Also, a win is a win. It doesn't matter if it's by 1 or 50. That's why the BCS eliminated the margin of victory from its calculations.

god, ND sucks. I just want them to lose SO BAD but they have managed to ALWAYS pull a 30 second drive in the last minutes of the 4th quarter...it pisses me off because THEY REALLY AREN'T THAT GOOD! It's more like the other teams are that bad. ULCA deserved to win today.

QFT....yeah they are having trouble against crappy opponents but when it comes down to it the record is what ends up being one of the biggest factors in college football. although there are some years where it doesnt work out well....so long as you keep up a winning record thats up there in the top 15 your going to a bowl game.

Computers don't talk to the media or have biases, so you can't blame anyone for where their BCS rankings are.

Besides the multiple people that vote them as high as they do in the polls.

The fact that the voters and computers agree that the system "works" then..
