Playing 8 in the box would be exactly the way ND would play vs. Arkanas or Auburn. Why play any other way vs. there teams until their QBs can show they can make 1 or 2 big pass plays each time they possess the ball.

By the rules of the BCS, you earn the right to be in one of the bowls by being eligible. Any team in the top 14 (I believe) is eligible to be selected. By being ranked #10 in the current standings, ND very much deserves to be in a BCS bowl. Also, Michigan, OSU, Boise State, and USC are the only guaranteed berths right now. Only one team gets in based on the rule of not being a champion ranked in the top four, and that is Michigan right now.

Let me try:
#1 FLORIDA - It is just clear than UF is better, I think everyone would agree, correct?
#2 AUBURN - Auburn beat Florida who is clearly better than ND, therefore, Auburn is better that ND.
#3 ARKANSAS - beat Auburn who beat Florida and Florida is clearly better than ND, therefore, Arkansas is better than ND.
#4 LSU - beat Arkansas who beat Auburn who beat Florida and Florida is clearly better than ND, therefore, LSU is better than ND.
Man the SEC is tough, whew!
Wow, your logic is undeniable; will have to go with the following:
-Arkansas beat Auburn who beat LSU, therefore Arkansas is better than LSU
-Arkansas lost to USC who lost to Oregon State who lost to Cal who lost to UCLA who lost to Notre Dame
Therefore, using your transitive logic:
Notre Dame > Arkansas > Auburn > LSU

I have a headache now. Go Irish, beat... whoever, even though you still won't be as good as the team that beat whoever.

Exactly, there is no reason to play the Sugar Bowl, we are better than LSU.

Yes, I have been struggling with this same circular logic. I believe that you can also use it to prove that Michigan is better than Florida.
Michigan > ND > Arkansas > Auburn > Florida

That's a relief.

Yeah, let's all just go to Pat O'Briens and duel out the better fight song on the pianos.

Fun, ain't it?
We can prove anyone better than anyone.

Yes, and sadly this logic still makes more sense than any of the voters in the polls use.

Exactly, that and the fact that the entire SEC is always babbling about how much better their conference is than everyone else - man that gets on my nerves. However, for the next few weeks, I shall open my trap about it only here on IrishEnvy, if at all.

just sayin, this thread is SOOOO awkward. : )I know this is a time of great anticipation about which BCS bowl game we get into but lets not put the cart before the horse here. There is a realistic chance that ND is the first team left out of the BCS bowls. Looking at the BCS rankings the Big 10 and the SEC are both getting two teams in so thats 4 spots taken. If Rutgers beats WVU on saturday then the Big East will also get two in, I believe Louisville is locked in being in the top 6 in the BCS, so thats 6 spots taken. Boise St. is locked in(7) ACC,Big12, and Pac10 champs respectively fill out the last 3 spots making 10. Just giving those of you who haven't loooked at this closely a heads up.
