The Notre Dame preseason schedule was ranked in the top five. It's not the Irish fault that so many teams flamed out after losing to the Irish.

very true, but I've had many a Domer complain to me that the Buckeyes are ahead in the polls and BCS, and it comes down to the schedule. You can only evaluate the strength of schedule at the end of the season. When the Domers hang their hat on a loss (USC), you know you're in trouble. That said, I want to see the Buckeyes-Irish in the Fiesta Bowl, so we can thrash 'em just like in the 90's. I bet you still have nightmares of Eddie George running all over the Irish.

Oh yeah, how about them Buckeyes!!!! All right Domers, I'm calling you out. The Buckeyes are gonna expose the Irish for the fraud that they were this season. Buckeyes win 34-21.

The morning line @ The Stardust has OSU -4.5.

But if you want to give 12.5, badart, I'll take it.
