And with that logic, Bama has locked up the SEC W as well.Georgia has locked up the SEC E, Auburn is freaking horrible

What entitlement? I said if Oregon or Kstate go undefeated they deserve the title game. Neither are in the SEC.
Enjoyed it as well. A&M is going to be a challenge in the SEC, they fit well.
If the Irish go through Stanford, Oklahoma, and USC and finish undefeated, why wouldn't they deserve an MNC shot over a one loss Bama, who has struggled and now lost (at home) against the meaty part of their schedule? It's how a team plays the entire season, not how the media hypes them.

I don't think Notre Dame passes the eye test, isn't that what the polls are?

I'd say going undefeated with impressive road wins in Oklahoma and possibly at USC, plus the Stanford win, would pass the eye test. If you compare ND's schedule with Bama's you won't see that much difference. Now Bama is starting to struggle against the truly competitive part of their schedule. If ND finishes undefeated I think they deserve a shot over any one loss SEC team. Just being realistic.I don't think Notre Dame passes the eye test, isn't that what the polls are?

And A&M has two losses at home. What's impressive about letting them come into your house and embarrass you?USC already has 3 losses. What's impressive about beating a 3 loss team?

Agreed. If it's good enough for Oregon and Kansas St., it's good enough for the Irish, who could wind up beating both Oregon's and Kansas St.'s one big win.so far that's the same team Oregon's signature win came against. They also beat Oklahoma who is the best team Kansas State has beaten. Were those teams better when Oregon and Kansas State played them just because they had less wins? If you say a win against USC isn't impressive Oregon truely hasn't beaten anyone.

They've won road conference games, which are the hardest games.
You and I both know playing and defeating the "Fighting Irish" is a big deal for all teams throughout the country. They have it just as hard, especially on the road.They've won road conference games, which are the hardest games.

Lol. What does that have to do with this year? Your Gators weren't relevant last year either.Notre Dame hasn't been relevant in anyone's lifetime who is playing college football right now. No one playing college ball is 40+.
