GT Vs. ND in the Gator Bowl

I would hate to face Paul Johnson, that man can coach his face off.


All the BCS bowls are terrible match ups, glad these are just projections.

That's a horrible match up for ND, your run D is kinda like our secondary, not great.

I actually do not mind this match-up. I know that they will be able to score points, but if our offense it healthy we will score at will. Further, I think our run D is getting much, much better. I like the speed of our LB to play against an option offense.

As for the BCS projections, these will change dramatically. Do not be suprised if they change a bunch after even this week. I see MSU beating Iowa, UM beating PSU and Kansas will lose several more times this year. Further, TCU will like lose a couple games.

As for Boise St, do not even get me started. When a team goes 12-0 beating the same teams the most BCS teams put on their schedule to pad the W column it is ridiculous. Look at the total of their schedule and you will see 2-3 legitimate oppoonents. They played Oregon as their big game of the year. If they want to be taken serious, that schedule must improve. People make comments about our schedule being soft this season. Well, the big softy on our schedule is one of Boise St in conf rivals. Boise would be a middle of the pack school in every BCS conference. 3-4 losses each year. Boise fans, shut your mouths until you start playing the big boyz each week. Yes, you beat Oklahoma one time. Problem is that you would not be able to handle a full year in conference at the Big 12, SEC, Pac 10, or try ND's schedule on for size.

I am not sold on Penn State at all. They have played no one! They opened the season with Akron, Syracuse, and temple. Lost to an Iowa team who could probably beat them 2 out of 3 times. They have to go to A^2 this weekend and play a Michigan team who hasn't lost at home and is craving a big win. They still have to play OSU, who I think will bounce back after that Purdue loss, and go to MSU. They will loose atleast 1 more game. I would like nothing more to see them loose 2 more and fall short of a BCS game.

And if u were wondering, I have nothing against PSU, i just hate teams that go untested and then are projected so high.

Well we did keep Joe Mcknight in check. Plus or run defense suffers when there is the threat of pass. That doesnt exist play G Tech. But, its kind of like playing Navy on steroids, so it would be tough.
