ND does not deserve a bowl game and anyone who thinks they do likes them way too much. Obviously USC, UT, PSU, LSU, VT and WVU will get a spot. For the next two oregon and ND pretty much have had the same schedule except Oregon is 10-1 and ND is 9-2 so Oregon had a better year. OSU and ND are both 9-2 the loss to texas and the lost to USC cancel out and then OSU's loss the PSU is much better loss than ND's loss to MSU. Frankly if it was any team but ND we wouldn't even be discussing this but since there Notre Dame they think they deserve special treatment. Intersting side note if Georgia beats LSU this week what bowl should they be in considering there only losses where to Florida which they clearly would have won with Shockley and Auburn which the came extremely close to winning.
