Poll question: Notre Dame and the BCS...

Edited on Thu Jan-04-07 04:41 AM by gr8dane_daddy

Notre Dame is now 0-9 for the last 9 bowls games. Their last two have been slaughter exhibitions. They last won in the Cotton Bowl against Texas A&M in 1994. Do you think they should be banned from attending BCS bowls until they prove they can win against ranked opponents?

...they automatically get a bowl (I read that somewhere, can't remember where.)

Why? Because they're a HUGE draw! Love 'em or hate 'em, everyone will watch them if they can't get a ticket to the game. And, as we all know, the BCS is all about money.

I'm not saying I agree with this. I'm saying this is how it is.
