All the arguments have lead to tonight! ND vs Bama. Whoever wins it's going to be a close game. I don't know any storylines about Bama heading in tonight other than them trying for a "dynasty". Golson and Te'o lead ND to victory is my homer prediction!

i think oregon is better and would have put up a better fight than an overrated irish team...this is a debacle and im sure the biggest irish homer won't admit it either.

now do you see why i was always skeptical and didn't praise this team bobby boy?

What a landslide. One of the worst bowl seasons I can remember. There were very few exciting games, and most were over at the half.

I just wonder how much the time off affects these teams. Would have been interesting to see if this game played out the same way if it was played the first week in December.

Said it pages ago and all year. ND is by far the most overrated team ever. And it's a joke that anyone said Bama was overrated. Thanks for the joke of a game BCS.

Now that was men against boys, literally over with-in 10 minutes of play time.

Oregon should have been there. They wouldn't have won, but at least they could have took a game into the 3rd quarter.

I underestimated Bama. Their RB's were crazy good. They did jukes that should only be in Madden. ND defense was...I don't know...disappeared. Te'o and Golson were non factors for the most of the game. As a Irish fan it was a painful game. I was trying to convince myself Bama is no way as good as everybody's says they are. Got proven wrong. Kudos Tide.

ND will be more prepared next season. This embarrassment will propel them forward.

Well, it would have been nice to match Bama up against someone with an offense this year!

Hard to bet against the back to back champs when a majority of their key players are returning.

I bet they blow out Texas A&M after everyone hypes up that game. Other than that LSU may be their only big test

Sure seems pretty sugar coated looking at that schedule. We'll see with TAMU, but even with a loss they will still be ranked top10 and keep moving back up, so its not like it even matters.
