I don´t follow college football very close at all but it kinds struck me funny that ND was in the championship game.To me,this would have been a better game if it was Texas A&M.

I waited over a month to watch THAT?!?!?!?!

During the season, ND won numerous squeakers over mediocre teams. This outcome was not unexpected.

The curse of Obama strikes again. My father (91) is an alumni of Notre Dame and proud to be a Domer. But you should have heard him when the school honored The Won.

That´s what you get for honoring evil, ND.

Faithful Catholics and Red State Americans rejoice--Roll Tide!

Roll Tide, Y´all!!! All the more reason to have college playoff games!!!

The BCS is a total joke and it´s the sole reason I no longer watch college football like I used to. A cursory glance at the facts suggests that there are about 4 other teams in the country worthy of playing Alabama in a championship game. The facts that Notre Dame played instead, and was ranked #1 while being the underdog speaks volumes about how dopey this system is.

Thanks again for putting another crummy team in the Championship game. This makes the fourth BCS bowl ND has been in and its the fourth blow out. Kent State and Arkansas State in the Godady bowl was a better match up. The NCAA should come up with a championship playoff system. They do it for the other football division.

It was a complete and total b-slap. B, of course stands for Hillary.

S-E-C! S-E-C! S-E-C! Way to go Bama!!! *ringing my cowbell in,your honor*

In other news, AJ McCarron´s girlfriend has filed a restraining order aginst Brent Musberger.

Notre Dame has consistently been the most overrated college football team over the past two decades.

It was like watching a Super Bowl game in the 1970´s. ESPN is probably going to have a lot of "make goods" for advertisers.

Brent Lustberger needs to hang it up. Ditto for ABC/ESPN The only time I watch either network is when they have a football game on. ESPN is just a trashy Connecticut outfit. Roll Tide and Saban for President.

Notre Dame did better than I expected. At least they didn´t get completely shut out.

Alabama proved once again that they are a heckuva good football team.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are now the only remaining unbeaten football team. I suspect OSU v. ´Bama might have made for a better game...

ND´s final AP ranking is 4th.. if a 4 team playoff was in place this year, there´s no way you could justify letting them in.

A thing of beauty....The obama lovers, and this media creation - implode. I could almost see Musberger sweating and shaking when this liberal institution was getting kicked around. ANY little thing the Lilliputians did was expanded tenfold. The leprechaun fumbles the punt, some manges to knock it out of bounds and you´d think the game was turned around. All night the liberals from ESPN couldn´t figure out why ND was missing tackles....could it be ´Bama was just bigger, faster, and stronger.? Maybe they should have called BO and had an executive order issued to stop this butt kicking


Roll tide....a rammer jammer is in order...

And we have the OHIO STATEment: 12-0.

NC-2-A: yo´ mamma

That said, the Alabama QB should punch Mushmouth in, well, the mouth. I thought he was going to ask his girlfriend out after the game. Dirty old man.

Some things are clear: 1)ND, ranked #1 is not and never was the #1 team in the nation. They are not the #2 team in the nation. They are not even the #4 team in the nation, their final ranking. 2)From the first play of the game, it was clear that ND cannot make open field tackles. Manti T´eo, ND´s vaunted defensive Heisman trophy candidate, supposedly a lethal tackler, didn´t show. I didn´t hear his name called all night. No team that can´t tackle should even suit up against a team like Alabama. 3)The media as corrupt in sports as it is in politics, overhyped ND all season long, ignoring the weakness of their schedule. As in politics, the loser when the sports media is crooked, the loser is John Q Public.

Ditto, #15. I see they gave Urban Meyer, the Ohio State Coach, a spot in the pre-game. Alabama was terrific last night.

Kudos to the Zac Brown Band for singing the Star Spangled Banner in that close acapella harmony and without jazzin´ it. Well done.

Roll!!!!!!!!Tide!!!!!!! Baby! You´re the best!
We love you all! Thank you Nick Saban!

How sweet it is!

A hearty "Roll Tide!" shoutout in memory of my F-I-L Pat Morgan who surely watched from his heaven-side seat last night. He kept going to Houston alum gatherings to watch his beloved Bama games well into his 80´s.

But if he were here I´d still have to remind him that before this game last night, the sum total of season losses for both powerhouse teams was exactly:

one.

And that loss was to . . . . the Sugar Bowl winning newbie to the SEC with the newbie head coach and freshman Heisman Trophy winner.

Whoop! And, um, Gig ´Em!!

I switched channels at half time.

But - we do have to give ND congrats on their 12-1 season.

Ooops! make that 12-0 season Alabama is the team that lost a game!

Somehow I think the Ohio State fans need to back away from the pipe....Look at who they played, by team, and show me a real team they beat, and their associated bowl performance.....Maybe Michigan State who is ~ 7 - 6? When all is said and done, it´s still the slew footed big whatever it is. On the other hand we have the SEC. Next year we´re looking at ´Bama, of course, LSU, South Carolina, Georgia, a team that, according to Nick, was.. "5 yards away from playing in this game"...And now add Texas A & M to the equation...Fl?...W/A the SEC beats the hell out of each other all season and ends up playing pretenders like ND, etc. at the end

Notre Dame ALWAYS gets the benefit of the doubt. But after last night, there was no doubt they did not belong on that field.

Ohio State would have played closer. They probably would have lost by 20. But, being on probation kept them from being embarrassed.

The media has been pimping for ND all year, every game, promoting Te´o like he was the only person that had to ´overcome" the tragedy of losing his grandmother. My son went to Holy Cross College at ND (good school by the way) and we attended many games there. They have a sense of entitlement to win every game - nobody is better than them. The NCAA should cut out the "independent" status of this team and mandate they join a conference like everybody else. They didn´t play a team of SEC caliber all year. Like my son said before the game. They are not going to even know what happened to them. Congratulations Bama, you are the best (and I live in Georgia LOL).

Yes #5!!!!

Before the SEC title game, I saw a comic that showed a giant elephant and a giant bulldog gazing down upon a tiny leprechaun and saying "One of us will be with you shortly." That comic proved to be quite prophetic. The elephant stomped all over the little leprechaun last night. This is why I´m glad we are finally getting a playoff system next year, so that poseurs won´t get into the championship game by playing a light schedule that ensures them an inflated ranking. Teams will now have to earn their way into the final.

(Double post, sorry)

FYI, here´s the final Sagarin ratings:

1 Alabama
2 Oregon
3 Texas A&M
4 Georgia
5 Notre Dame
6 South Carolina
7 Florida
8 Kansas State
9 Stanford
10 LSU
11 Florida State
12 Oklahoma
13 Ohio State
14 Clemson
15 Oregon State
16 Texas
17 Oklahoma State
18 Baylor
19 Utah State
20 Michigan

I watched Ohio State beat Texas A&M in the Sugar Bowl. I watched Ohio State beat LSU before. Also the Arkansas Razorbacks. When they get to play an SEC team, it´s exciting. They´ll be exciting to watch next year under Urban Meyer.

Saban turned those college players into a classy, well-trained, charging football machine. They were relentless.

As with NBA players who cannot do free throws (so easy even a woman can do them), the ND team apparently missed the tackle training.

There is a God.

Though Notre Dame was beaten last night sports fans, the fact remains.......The Golden Domers are still 5-2 against The Tide.

This doesn´t have anything to do with religion or politics. So glad I am not interested in either team.

SEC!!! Six out of the top 10. My guys had to play 4 of them but all I heard at work was Rutgers, Rutgers, Rutgers. Grrrrrr. So what I´ve been doing at work this week is showing the Clowney hit over and over and over. Big boy football. Did I say S-E-C!!!

Ohio State may have fared better on Offense, but theyir defense would have tackled as poorly as ND. ND played a good schedule, but were overmatched by ND. People kill me by acting like the players care about Catholics vs whatever religion. It is not a referendum on religion or politics. It is a referendum on how great a coach/recruiter Nick Saban is.

college football is the new opiate of the masses....

I used to pull for Notre Dame because I thought they were a Christian college.

Then they honored the anti-Christ (oops, I meant President nØbama).

I think I saw Rudy in the crowd weaing an Alabama jersey...

#40 Rocks!
