Only thing I noticed was wrong. Although we didn't play WKU, WCU and FAU to skew the stats in our favor.

 

[Andriustin]

You should update these stats as of this week

 

[Fbolt]

numbers are skewed. You could play with these figures all day and it would not matter to anyone who is biased. that's why they play the game.

not trying to be a sourpuss

 

[Cackalacky]

I agree fbolt. play the games. That being said another interesting number:

Alabama has only played 5 bowl eligible teams
Georgia has played 4 bowl eligible teams
ND has played 9.

That being said idk which sos rankings are the best but I have seen (Sagarin i think, that all three are pretty close).

 

[irishff1014]

Punt return average against
Bama – 7.7 (59)
ND – 8.6 (73)
UGA – 12.3 (116)

For example look at how stats can be overrated. Not even a yard and in the rankings its 14 spots.

This is my favorite stat (above, bowl elegible teams).... I have to deal with SEC people all day, every day. Sagarin has the following SOS..
ND - 30
Bama - 39
UGA - 42

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Get ready for a WHOLE LOT OF THIS STUPID SHITE.

RT @Tyler_Mayo: ...Bama plays teams better than ND every Saturday

 

[Fbolt]

and if ND fans stay above the fray, we are all better for it

 

[koonja]

Based on those numbers, I'd rather play Georgia. They give up a whole lot more yards on the ground.

 

[Irish YJ]

I good read from Scout (open to public)
Scout.com: Just the Facts

 

[wakeuptheechoes]

The only things I see wrong with this can be summed up by a great football coach. Whether you like him or not he knows football.

Bill Belichick told a group of reporters that “stats are for losers” and that “the final score is for winners” and “that’s really what it’s all about.”

Wow RT @JoshatTheState: Spurrier: "Bama had weakest sked in West; UGA weakest (in East) Find it interesting haven’t seen anybody write that"

 

[koonja]

Eric Hansen‏@hansenNDInsider

Per Bovada.lv, #NotreDame would be a 9.5-point underdog to Alabama, a 3-point dog to Georgia.

 

[PraetorianND]

Only thing I noticed was wrong. Although we didn't play WKU, WCU and FAU to skew the stats in our favor.

Wrong, our schedule is a joke and our stats are inflated from playing BC, Navy, MSU, UM, Miami, BYU, Purdue, Wake Forest, and Pitt.

 

[koonja]

I want to play the team that we are most likely to beat. Since UGA gives up 150 yards per game on the ground, I think I want them to win this Saturday.

I would like to beat Bama just because they have the worst fans on the planet and everyone who screams SEC is really screaming Bama. That being said, winning the NCG is more important to me. So despite saying I'd want Bama since talk began, I want UGA.

Personally I think we will be playing the "Bulldogs"
