You're probably right, but if ND gets a BCS game it will be a travesty. They just aren't very good and played nothing but cupcakes. they should be excluded from the BCS simply by the virtue of allowing Stanford to score 10 points. (I was at the ASU-Stanford game this year and I have to say Stanford was the worst college football team in a major conference I've ever seen. They didn't even try.)
Stanford pushed Cal today so there's that.
ND beat UCLA who in turn beat USC.
I love college football :)
As long as Notre Dame can negotiate an automatic BCS bid within the structure of the BCS, they will continue to schedule Stanford, Army, Navy and Air Force every year.
