I'm surprised you're contradicting me about the UM game, if you went to that game then you likely weren't watching closely. Michigan out gained ND (it's clear from the stats) in spite of the turnovers, they only let them score 13 points, and it was the 7 turnovers that you won by, almost all of them self inflicted and not created by ND. Sorry, you missed the plot line, you won 13-6 after being literally given the ball 7 times at home. It was surprising, because I thought you'd be better than you looked.

You almost lost to Purdue, Brigham Young, looked bad against a pitiful BC; Pitt stunk, really stunk, had a mediocre season at best, lost to Youngstown State, Connecticut, and Syracuse, and they still should have won that game. USC wasn't a good team even with their 5 star senior QB, you played them without him. Oregon put up 62 points on them, they lost to Arizona and had a very weak schedule. Sad.

So what I'm saying is congrats on an undefeated season, it must have been fun as a fan, but you're not that good and you're gonna get beat badly by the first top ten team you play. I'll even make you a wager, proceeds given to FR that Bama beats you. I've seen them three times, they're good, and they're not losing to a team that had a weak schedule and still struggled against mediocre competition.

I'm not a Bama fan, nor an SEC fan, I'd actually prefer for ND to win, I'm calling it as I see it, not because I don't like ND or root for Bama.

Well, of course the offense with a freshman QB was green very early. And they have grown considerably. Purdue is always a grudge match. The Michigan stats were low on both sides; Denard Robinson is no pushover. The defense stepped up, just as they did at Michigan State. BYU has a top-notch defense, as does Pitt, which lost games, sure, but they also beat Virginia Tech and Rutgers, not bad. And you don’t mention Miami or Oklahoma or Stanford. Essentially, you focus on the negative. I focus on the positive. The schedule was stronger than Bama’s, against much tougher defenses, but I explained that. You can choose to believe what you want, in spite of the numbers, and I gave you plenty of good ones. I’ll stick with the numbers, thanks.
