Charlie Weis likes his team's chances of earning a Bowl Championship Series berth -- if No. 19 Notre Dame keeps winning.

Gator Bowl president Rick Catlett does, too. Catlett said the Gator Bowl would love to have a Fighting Irish team that finishes 10-2, but can't imagine it happening.

Given NDs pathetic record in recent BCS games it will be over by halftime. But I suppose some of us take a sadistic pleasure in seeing ND get their sanctimonious arse kicked in.

ROFLMAO.

Well, as a USC fan I can honestly say, USC has not chance of a BCS birth this year because they do not deserve it.

And they beat Notre Dame!

A BCS bowl game against who?
The ACC champ? GA Tech I guess.
Big East champ? Cincy?
Who gets the Big Ten? Iowa/OSU winner?
Those would be close games with ND.

Oregon would handle them with ease.

The Gator Bowl isn’t a BCS Bowl. Fiesta, Sugar, Orange, and Rose bowls are the only BCS bowls. The Gator Bowl is one below a BCS bowl. Hopefully, my Mountaineers win out to win the Big East.

The Gator Bowl would love to have them as the “Big East or Notre Dame” representative if they do not get a BCS bid.

After getting pasted by South Florida, I wouldn’t be dreaming of winning out.
