Wow ND should win it with no problem.

Wow ND should win it with no problem.

Ya think?

Eastern Washington
Elon
Fordham
Furman
Little Rock
Omaha
UT Rio Grande Valley
Etc.

Except for Washington, should ND really get to count these as regular season games?

Actually, a few of them aren't bad at their normal level. But Notre Dame and Washington will probably be set up to meet in the finals, all things being equal, with Green Bay and Nebraska (even with a new coach) probably next in line as the only possible spoilers, at least whichever is on the Washington side.

How soon folks forget the World Vision Classic.

Should UConn get to count UCF, Cincinnati and Houston?

In all seriousness, I looked up the Sagarin ratings of all the teams in the field, just to satisfy my curiosity:

Abilene Christian - 135
Central Michigan - 94
Colorado State - 49
Eastern Washington - 164
Elon - 131
Fordham - 144
Furman - 246
Green Bay - 38
Little Rock - 122
Missouri - 28
Nebraska - 59
North Texas - 203
Notre Dame - 3
Omaha - 199
UT Rio Grande Valley - 192
Washington - 17

Nope. I don't count them.

In a word, FARCE.

This is a present for Notre Dame, all nicely gift-wrapped. There isn't one team in the field that ND shouldn't beat by 30.

It may not be nice to say, but reality IS.
