9-3 would be very interesting and I think it would depend on when the loss was.

 

If ND gets to 9-2 going into Stanford, I'd have to guess they'd be between 10-15 at that point. So would a loss to a top 5 Stanford get them lower than 14? Probably.

 

But, let's assume they lose to USC to get to 4-3, the run off 5 straight including a win over a top 5 Stanford to end the year. Would that streak get them to the top 14? Again, maybe, and I think a bit more likely.

 

So if 9-3 is the BCS mark, I think it would be better for the loss to come vs. USC than Stanford.

 

As far as what bowl if not BCS, it doesn't matter if ND goes 6-6 or 9-3. They will get whatever is the best bowl that doesn't get whatever teams are assigned to it because of not enough eligible teams out of a conference.

 

In other words, not a good one.

We are at #27 and WILL NOT IMHO get to a BCS bowl at 9-3---Just not gonna happen.----If that 3rd loss is in 2 weeks to USC we drop out of theTOP 30 totally---even running the table won't help that.----If the loss is late to Stanford we will UNDO much of the ground we made up in the previous 6 weeks

 

NO BCS at 9-3--forget about it----

 

If we close out with 7 STRAIGHT at 10-2 then yes that's the ONLY PATH!

 

 

That said 9-3 would be AWESOME but is likely NOT realistic ----

 

It is true that BOTH the defense and the run game especially the DEFENSE can be a difference maker now if they continue to WAKE UP!

 

But it is also true that TOMMY will have at least TWO MORE HORRIBLE games , maybe--maybe the defense & some breaks can win one of those for us----but that's a HUUUGE IF----

 

BEAT USC and we are back in business----NOT BCS business but we can have a pretty good season ---any season we beat USC is pretty good--:grin:---

Yeah, I don't really see us getting into a BCS game at 9-3 either, which is probably a good thing. I don't know enough about the tie-ins to predict where we would go. However, if a 9-3 ND ends up in a bowl like the Pinstripe or Compass bowls, then Swarbrick has some work to do.

Am i the only who pictures the luchador from the Cubs game when considering what "el señor Domer" looks like?

 

Surely you recall that encounter (and photo)....
