So I caught part of College Football Now, the slightly less obnoxious version of ESPN's College Football Live (however the similarities are conspicuous, especially the damn banner they have in the studio). The main difference is they don't have people trying to argue with each other, which is great. When people argue, it's draining, and I'm tired of it. I really only watched the ND part, and not all of it at that. The main points I pulled out were such:
-ND has no reason to complain about their schedule; the apologist need to blame no one but ND for it. Look at the SEC, they eat their young... [and on and on] join a conference.
-ND has the swagger back, thanks to Charlie Weis, and thats the biggest plus coming into the season.
-Corwin Brown [yes, they acknowledged the fact ND has a new DC] is installing a 3-4 defense, but will run anything, including a 4-3.
-Biggest difficulty to overcome this season is replacing Brady Quinn. However, look at what USC has had to do, replacing Palmer, and then Leinart. They mentioned all the schools highly rated that also lost their QB, including Oklahoma, OSU, and Wisconsin.
-[The verdict?] Both analyst said there are only two games that Notre Dame can't win. One said it's ridiculuous to think ND will start 2-6, while the other said it is entirely possible to start 6-2. One mentioned Charlie Weis would be elected governor of Indiana if ND won 10 games this season.
Overall, I felt it a fair assessment. The conference argument is bogus, but they did mention ND wanting to build on its brand nationwide and thats why they added games in Florida and Texas with Baylor. Makes me wonder if people have already forgotten that ND goes to Michigan, goes to USC, beat Texas, beat Oklahoma, went down to Tallahassee and beat FSU, beat Tennessee, and beat Penn State; what more do you want, you can't predict where a team will be ranked.
