UT 10-3 with losses against OSU and 2 unranked teams finished the season #13 in AP/Coaches poll.

ND 10-3 with losses to USC, Mich, LSU whom all finished in the top how many? Ranked #17 and 19 in the final AP/Coaches polls.

You tell me which team is more overrated.

What is ND, Alec?

What was NDs ranking to start the new? Yes it was 2. Not for sure what UT started out with but i think it might have been 6.

ND plays a semi tough schedule but doesnt hang with the teams they want to beat. Blow out losses to Mich and USC, not to mention an undeserving BCS game that they got blown out again in.

Some might not give the Big XII credit but it still is a tough conference to play in. OOC games of BIG XII schools were: Top ranked LU, OSU, and USC. other decent teams were Georgia, TCU, USF, and a few other mediocre bowl teams.

Lets not forget that UT is the only school to win 10 or more games for 6 years in a row. Who cares if UT lost to 2 unranked teams they are not overrated like most of yall think.

For one, I didn't even bring the Big12 into the discussion. And what does past performance have to do with who is overrated this season? And yes, ND did not deserve to be in a BCS bowl. You take them out of that Bowl and set them up vs a team like Iowa and they roll them. Which puts them at 11-2 and even further convincing me that they were not overrated in comparison to UT.

Notre Dame played 13 games this year 8 of which vs bowl teams and their 3 losses were against the eventual #3,4,8 teams in the country.

UT played I think also 8 eventual bowl bound teams but of their 3 losses 1 was to the eventual #2 team in the country and 2 others to unranked teams.

And UT was 3rd in the nation preseason and became #2 because ND fell from 2 to 3 after their victory at Ga Tech, a bowl team.

Uh huh, yeah right, but my sources are hearing that Boise State has
practically DEMANDED that they meet Florida next week in a halfway (St.
Louis) SAFEWAY parking lot.

Otherwise potential lawsuits :!:
