Notre Dame's schedule is only tough when the haters are predicting a 5-7 season. When we go 9-3, it will turn out to have been "a much weaker than expected" schedule.

Texas is worse than I thought. Oregon has a great offense, but I think Rees would put up 24 on that defense.

Oregon makes teams look like that... UT was much better on D the second half of the year... Legitimately 'good'... Which was a major turnaround from the first month...

Yeah, Oregon's offense looked great, but they only managed to finish one drive. They kicked three FGs and their defense put up the other two scores on interception returns. It didn't help that they kept putting themselves in the hole with undisciplined red zone penalties... but damn can they move the ball down the field.

Would love to see the Irish operate a similar no huddle offense.

Did you watch our bowl game?

The ducks defense is better then the Rutgers hands down.

Oh, yeah, I agree. But Texas had a favorable match up on the line and Oregon isn't exactly a top 10 defense. Texas looked awful and outcoached.

Somebody forgot to tell Texas Tech that they are 14 point underdogs and can't beat Arizona State.

This is the equivalent of if Rutgers just came out and embarrassed us. I have no idea how Texas Tech -- who kind of sucks, if we're being real here -- is just jail sexing ASU.

Sloppy play and turnovers can do that, but really shocking to see how easily TTU is carving them up.

Kingsbury has had a better game plan, and ASU looked like they expected TT to lie down.

Graham should take the blame for that last series. QB should have spiked the ball rather than rush the kicker out to miss a FG. That's on the coach, not the QB.

I don't see the comparison. Texas Tech has had the capability of scoring points in droves all season, but doesn't show much on the defensive side of the ball. 3 of their losses came to Baylor (L63-34), Oklahoma (L38-30) and Oklahoma State (L52-34). I think all three teams finished in the top 25.

Texas Tech would stomp Rutgers in my opinion, or at least put up 50 points and may allow a good amount themselves. Rutgers was a pretty bad team this year, and I think Texas Tech was a good amount better than them. IMO

ASU looks pretty chastened to start the second half. Gotta believe they can pull this out.

I like the Sun Bowl every year, it tends to have great match ups, great venue, spend a lot of time in El Paso... But man, so sick of it being a 'cant wait to watch real football after this stupid non SEC crap" broadcast from CBS... They do that every damn year during the Sun Bowl...

Wait. I thought the worst SEC team would win or at least be co-champs in every other conference.

Manziel ought to stay another year, but this kid Boone from Duke, should maybe test the NFL waters. Manziel isn't even the best QB in this game.
