My local evening radio show was even talking about, and they don't even follow college football (Buffalo is a pro sports town 100%). The host -- who admitted he barely follows college football -- kept making the case that if everyone who follows the sport says Alabama is better than Notre Dame, the polls should reflect that. His point was that wins and losses aren't everything. Err... right.

If everyone says it, it must be true!

Host also referenced Aaron Schatz and footballoutsiders.com to say that stats mean more than the actual games. He said that Oregon would beat Stanford most times because that's what the advanced metrics indicate. Right, except Oregon has lost EVERY TIME they've played a great defense in the last few years (Stanford '12, LSU '11, Auburn '10, Ohio State '09).

Let the haters hate. I'm gonna pay off my student loans with that 10.5-point spread in the NCG:wink:

In what universe aren't wins and losses the most important thing? Winning is all that matters. You would think that a pro sports would appreciate that fact.

When you schedule FCS teams. When there is a massive lack of parity between the best and the worst.

I know they are degrading us and hating on us now but I have a feeling if we beat USC, win the NC and have an elite year next year that will start to change. Don't get me wrong, we'll still be the most polarizing program in CFB, but the media will latch onto us again. They don't just love the SEC because they love the south or Alabama, no they love winners. We're winning this year but give us two elite years at the top and I think we'll start to see a lot of love. ESPN is full of frontrunners and bandwagoners, just keep winning and the respect will come.

I was watching SportsCenter today in the lunchroom at my high school and Jesse Palmer revealed his "rankings" in which Notre Dame sat at #4, behind Bama, UGA, and Oregon. I couldn't hear his rationale, but I don't care what it was. That is the most blatant SEC bias I've ever seen in my entire life, thinking that a Georgia team that was smoked by SCarolina and an Oregon team that lost to the same Stanford team we beat are better than an UNDEFEATED Notre Dame team with the best defense in the country.

I couldn't believe it. I understand, maybe, how you could say Alabama is better than ND despite having a loss, but I have no idea how you could rank UGA and Oregon ahead of ND. Unbelievable.

Dude, you got tv's in your lunchroom? Man we were lucky if one guy brought in his boom box and set it up at the cool table.

Guest host on Dan Patrick just said Alabama can beat the Jaguars and half the teams in the NFL. What the hell is wrong with people?

Didn't he get kicked out or something?
Who exactly is deserving of being No. 1 then?

Oh and that is a very very smart girl!
