Come on, you can't honestly believe that Notre Dame wouldn't be selected if they where ranked 12th in the BCS do you?

Go Ducks!!

I'm well aware of the standards. It was a rhetorical question.

I honestly doubt it. I think it would then be Ohio State and Auburn. There is a big discrepancy from where we're ranked to 12. However, we're ranked #8 and technically should be ahead of you if it weren't for computer polls.

You do realize that the only reason you're ahead of us is because you scored higher in COMPUTER polls, right? We're ahead of you in everything that is decided on and voted on by HUMANS. Just some food for thought.

Actually, if I recall correctly, in 2002 (Ty's first year), we finished the regular season 10-2 and qualified for a BCS bowl, but didn't get picked. We ended up in the Gator Bowl.

So, there ya go. We don't have to believe anything. With a top-12 finish and 2 or fewer losses, ND qualifies for a BCS at-large spot. Same with Oregon, same with every other team in the country. It's just that there's only 2 at-large spots, which means someone's always gonna get left out. In 2002, it was ND. This year, it'll probably be Oregon. (For the record, I think that sucks, because Oregon deserves a BCS spot a helluva lot more than West Virginia, winner of the Big Joke conference.)

See, Steve, that's what's so frustrating about the Oregon fans that have been flocking to this board in the past week. Y'all fly in here and do lots of quacking and squawking and get your feathers all ruffled up, and yet so many of you show such a flimsy grasp on actual facts to back up your case. I mean, we had one guy in here who made the serious claim that Oregon's victory over 6-5 Arizona State counts as "a quality win."

All it takes is a little research. I got my info on the 2002 season in less than 5minutes from www.nd.edu. It's not that hard.

 

[absoluteirish59]

Where are the quality wins that Oregon can offer??? How about Cal, Fresno State, and ASU. Yours? Better yet lets look at the quality losses you have LMFAO, Michigan State, LOL.

Are you serious bro? Wash, Arizona, Arizona st., Stanford are awful this year. Wash st + oregon st. are'nt exactly powerhouses you know. Just let it go bro, ND is probably gonna go to the fiesta and either ohio st. or oregon is gonna be left out. I understand fans from both schools have a gripe, but to say ND is overated or doesnt deserve to go is just plain ignorance. Don't even try and say that oregon has more quality wins than ND. The pac10 is down this year. Ucla is the 3rd best team behind USC and oregon and they got absolutely waxed by ARIZONA.......YES ARIZONA. Don't take out your frustrations on Notre dame, blame the BCS system. Their should be a playoff system in Div-1 college football and we all know it. That way we can find out who the #1 really is. But even then if their was a playoff system and they took the top 16 teams in the country, the 17th and 18th teams would be complaining they are more deserving than other teams that are in. So what! This is college football. If we did'nt argue, it would'nt be as much fun

 

[domerfor life]

This argument is old and tired. How many times are we going to keep explaining the same thing over and over again to one Duck fan after another? It's obvious any rational explanation is met with emotional BS screaming about an MSU loss. Let it go fellas. Just ignore the Ducks as they fly by. Please

But Duck Hunt was my favorite Nintendo game. The fact that they have to repeat the same tired explanation over and over shows exactly what they have to stand on.

Do they have ducks at Seaworld?

I did play that game alot back in the day. Use to go to bed with the music still playing in my head. Wish I had that game now.

Oohhhhh MAN!! I'll have to play it when I get a different mouse.

 

[TexasDomer]

I'm guessing Fresno State is no longer a quality win after last night.

Dude, please don't start. According to Duck logic....NO.

 

[TexasDomer]

My bad! Thankfully they didn't teach Duck Logic in my philo courses at ND.

 

[Vince Young]

Just a thought... if Oregon doesn't get a BCS invite tomorrow there's a good chance we'll get flocked again by angry water fowl. Maybe we ought to get our... *ahem*... ducks in a row and set up a brand new "HEY OREGON FANS: WHINE HERE" thread, just to keep it all in one thread.

Sounds good to me, but knowing Ducks they will fly around and fowl up other boards. Hey VY, was that pun intended?

that was a good one.I don't think very many of us will forget about this week for awhile.
I showed my wife these threads and she said they were borderline to animal creulty.

This is one Duck fan who isn't going to blame ND for getting screwed.

ND did what it was supposed to do. Get 9 wins. Get in the top of the BCS ratings. It's a done deal. Credit whoever negotiated your deal; good work there.

Here's the real tragedy for the Irish: Oregon would have given ND a much better, entertaining game in Tempe. I look for you guys to roll by 21 points or more. Yawns by halftime. Would have been fun to watch Weis gameplan vs. the Oregon spread offense.

And who exactly is going to watch UGA vs. UVA? I think the over/under for dental insurance coverage amongst fans will be 20%.

Have fun in Tempe.

Thanks for the good wishes, same to you in San Diego.

But how do you expect anyone "to roll by 21 points or more". The Buckeyes gave up 25 to Texas in a 3 point loss and 17 to PSU in a 7 point loss. Minnesota scored 31 in a 14 point loss.

Perhaps you're confusing Ohio State with pushover Oregon State. The Ohio State is ranked #1 in Rushing Defense, #4 in Total Defense and #7 in Scoring Defense 14.8 ppg.

Aren't you the same paduckfan who was doing all that whining last week? Oh well, I'm glad you changed your tune. Good luck to you guys. At least you'll be close to the beach. Sorry I couldn't resist that one.

Appreciate it paduckfan! Best of luck to your boys as well.

paduckfan was the only one that actually made any sense.

Richduck was the guy that was all over the place.

Yeah, paduckfan at the very least has posted FACT on here rather than personal feelings. As long as he continues to do so, he is alright in my book. RICHDUCK is a lost cause (but has anyone noticed that he has been quiet for a while?)

There were so many Duck fans on here they all started to sound alike. I'll take you guys word for it though. I do remember Richduck, though. Ridiculous!

 

[Vince Young]

Richduck actually got banned.

 

[ccrit79]

I bet Rickduck wishes his school was going to be $14.5 Million richer.

 

[Irish Envy]

Yep, Richduck and his alter ego Steve Duck got banned. We do have paduckfan and LuckyDuck still around.
