Oregon is going to have one loss at the end of the season, and Notre Dame is going to have 2, yet Notre Dame will recieve the BCS bowl bid. Is this justice? I think not...Each team lost to USC, understandable, but ND lost to Mich. State. Because Notre Dame is in the spotlight and plays every week on National television, and because they have a bigger fan base, they will get the bid over a better team in Oregon.

Yes, they both lost to USC..the only difference between the two is that Notre Dame actually played with USC.Originally posted by ColRockies_5

First off, ND shouldn't of lost to Michigan State at home.... But other than that, I would say that ND does deserve to be in the BCS because if you looked at this team last year and this year, its a completely different team (with the same players)...and they actually had SC beat...
But isn't Oregon going to get an at-large bid anyway? I thought that if ND and Oregon won out, they would meet each other in the Fiesta Bowl...then we will really see who is the better team...fight u dwn the fied..cu must win.. fight fight fr Victoy..cu knows no defet! so roll up the mighty score, Never Give in!!...shouler to shulder we will FIGHT..FIGHT ... FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!Comment

Well, it's possible that both will be picked, but there are other teams in the equation I believe, most namely Ohio State.Originally posted by broncofan303

Notre Dame deserves it for one reason:
They have more fans. More fans = higher TV ratings.A proponent of Denver drafting Cutler since 10/05.

Oregon have been shafted before from what I have been told, its someone else's turn i say."On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high."

The BCS owes Oregon for leaving them out of the title game in favor of Crouch's pathetic Huskers.
As for this year, Notre Dame looks like a better team, but it isn't about looks. It shouldn't be about money, but it is. In all seriousness, Notre Dame's wins are not that impressive. Purdue isn't bowling, Tennessee was a joke, Stanford was a Pac Ten doormat, as was Washington, and Michigan is in a rebuilding year, and they played that game without a healthy Mike Hart. The allure of Notre Dame is what has them ranked so high, a look back at their wins may cause some to reconsider.Comment

Very true...Originally posted by OhNoKoolAid
Oregon's not as bad as people make them out to be. Ngata in the middle, Dixon at QB, Demetrius Williams leads a superb WR core, and Terrence Whitehead is a good workhorse in the backfield. They're legit, for the most part.
ND isn't as impressive in my opinion. I saw their game against UW, and for the majority of the first half Washington was in control. They were literally a dropped TD pass and a fumble at the goalline away from having a 14 point lead at the half.
I agree that ND's schedule is weak too...Don't forget BYU either, that game was relatively close.

ND's attraction is that they've put up a lot of points, which helps draw viewers, and they had the close game with USC. At the time, it seemed like a great feat. But since, we've seen that other teams have been able to play with USC, and that they are a little more human than most thought.Originally posted by WABronco
ND had rode on their tradition for years. There have been countless times that they were in the top 25, and even the top 10 when they had absolutely NO business there. It's just like OU this year. Yeah, I'm a huge Sooner fan, but I'll be the first to tell ya that they didn't belong in the top 5 to begin the year with so many new starters. It's more of a popularity contest than anything.
I'm Sooner born and Sooner bred and when I die, I'll be Sooner dead.
Nebraska's new quarter with the Sooner Schooner running right over the state of Nebraska. A sign of things to come? =)Comment

You wanna know something funny? Oregon was the reason that margin of victory was taken out. And those pathetic Huskers had an average Margin of Victory of 21.7 points. Those powerhouse ducks had an average MOV of 12.2 points. Oregon had 3 ranked opponents, as did the Huskers, of 22, 17, and 14. The Huskers were 17, 14, and 2. Now, who was the pathetic team you were talking about?Originally posted by OhNoKoolAidGo Huskers.Comment
