Who do you want to play in the Bowl? - Page 2 - Notre Dame Football Discussion

I wouldn't want to face the ACC #2, but perhaps the Big East #2. #2 of the ACC certainly wouldn't be a "cakewalk".

I voted for Penn State, and I'm sticking to that, but a small and growing part of me really wants to say Oregon just so we can shut them up. But my only problem is that once ND beats them 45-13 (a score they should remember well :snicker: :snicker: ) then all the reasons we've been using for why Oregon's not really that good a team and doesn't deserve a bid over ND (wins against Montana and Houston for example) will then be used against us and "all of a sudden" Oregon will be this terrible team that was never that good and beating them didn't prove anything.

I think that two weeks ago i would have said penn st. Now i definitely WANT oregon, just to shut up their annoying ass fans!! Plus we play psu next year. I would'nt mind playing the buckeyes either. They are a tougher matchup but probably a better game( by the way thats who ND is gonna play ,ohio st. i believe). I always want to play the best because i'm competitive like that or maybe it's arrogance(their is a fine line between the two).If osu is the best team available to play, then bring 'em on baby!!

Unfortunately, Notre Dame doesn't qualify for the Holiday Bowl. LMAO!

It would be interesting to see what would be said if Notre Dame plays Penn State and beats them. Would Penn State then be an overrated team that won a mediocre conference? Would Ohio State be overrated then. The same mouths that trump up teams as being contenders, dismiss Irish wins as beating overrated opponents. It's complete madness I tell you. I voted for OSU. I want to play them.

Notre Dame could beat the 1972 Dolphins and people would be saying they were overrated the next day. Just how it is at south bend.

I've always felt the highest ranked opponent but Richduck has made me realize how much Oregon has been shortchanged by the media, coaches, and computers. ND should pass on the Fiesta and $14 million to demand to play The Ducks in San Diego.
