and also the only games that MAC teams can play in is the GoDaddy Bowl, Little Caesars Bowl, and the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl

(Note: When Kent State played in the Tangerine Bowl (CapitalOne Bowl), that was in 1972...

The NCAA has never considered the MAC any good. They should now.

The MAC may be the new premier mid-major conference... but it's still a mid-major conference.

Mountain West > WAC > Big East > MAC

MW had 3 BCS invites (Utah and TCU twice), the WAC had 3 (Boise St. twice and Hawai'i) while the MAC hasn't. If the MAC stops playing the B1G every year then they could.

I don't hate LSU, I just don't like them.

I always get verbally attacked because I'm a Bama fan. And USC and ND fans get respect. Funny how logic works.

Maryland and Rugters to Big Ten?

If that happens, given Notre Dame's recent football scheduling deal with the ACC, wouldn't it make sense to have ND join the ACC in football now? UConn will now try to get into the ACC, leaving the Big East once again looking to replece them (ECU finally? or maybe UMass/Marshall/Buffalo/Army?)

Also Harvard beat Yale in the 1% Bowl for the 6th straight time. Hoo-rah, Harvard!

and Lehigh beat Lafayette in the 148th meeting in the longest rivalry in the NCAA.

If ND moves to the ACC, that means no more scheduling high ranked opponents, no high ranked opponents schedules means no more media love, and no media love means no national title.

So I'm guessing you're in favor of it, huh? (as am I); BUT since the ACC is part of the playoff pool conferences, all they have to do is win the ACC title, go 11-1 and they're in the semis.

I'm just saying it would be a bad move on ND's part.

Only drawback is that ND's would be force to choose which 3 rivalry games mean most to them? ND-Navy and ND-USC will never go away no matter where ND plays.. just a matter of the 3rd one. Is it Purdue, Michigan State or Stanford? (The Michigan rivalry will go on hiatus in 2015 when the ACC scheduling deal starts). The main reason why ND hasn't joined a conference is the $$. They're getting almost $25 million/yr from NBC, while they'd only be getting around $8-10 million from the ACC ($10-12 from Big Ten or Big XII or SEC). But the ACC's TV contract is up for renewal in 2017, and NBC, beacuse of Notre Dame would likely try to bid and may pay enough that ND would be join and still get the same amount of $$. It's all about $$. If the SEC could guarentee Notre Dame $30 million a year at 8:00am tommorrow, they'd be the 15th SEC team by 8:01am.

With LSU, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, and Florida. ND would never join the SEC. plus, they're out of region, Why would Florida have to travel from Florida to Indiana just to play one team?

The 3rd rivalry game to keep would probably be ND-Stanford.

You throw enough money at Notre Dame, they'd join any conference.

Off that subject.. K-state's losing and Oregon's struggling... guess that Alabama fans are drooling for a Baylor and/or a Stanford win, huh?

Possibly because people don't like bandwagons.

Alabama's schedule has been less-than-stellar this year and they are the most beloved non-professional team in the United States right now.

They still shouldn't get in. You lose with two games left? Tough luck, shouldn't have lost so late in the season. But... :Alabama: so they might see the title regardless.

I don't mind about the Oregon/Stanford game. I just want K-State to lose because I hate Colin Klein.

P.S What Minnysota doesn't know is that I've added him as a foe, so I can't see his posts.

I actually saw your post. It doesn't really deter me from defeating your logic so that others can see that no logic exists in your posts.

Well, K-State choked....

and It looks like Oregon-Stanford's going to OT...

Not if the refs have anything to say about it.

Oregon might get a chance. That looked like clean defense on that PI call.

Oregon missed yet another FG...

Ladies and gentlemen: NOTRE DAME is the #1 team in the country.

Run for the Hills, the world is gonna end in December.
