    Looking at the ND schedule for 2018, I'd say they will be about like last year. Good; not spectacular. The have Michigan first game, FSU later on in the year, and little else. They may beat FSU due to the coaching transition. They may beat Michigan because Harbaugh isn't all that as a coach. They also have Stanford, Virginia Tech and USC (the real one) on the schedule. They lost a boatload of players, including one really good DE to UGA on a graduate transfer, and lost the core of their offensive line.

    Oki St.....As usual in the Big-12, no defense.
    TCU.......Ditto.
    Auburn...Great coming out of the gate, but not much on stamina.
    LSU........Coach O....AKA Cookie Monster. Need I say more?
    Stanford...Can always count on them to upset a Washington or USC, though.
    Wisky.......Slow, plodding, 3-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust Big-10 football at it's finest.
    ND...........See my above post on ND.
    Miami.......CMR will always lose one or two in head-scratching or W T H fashion. See UGA from 2008-2015.
    WV...........How much more hair can Holgerson pull out? All offense, no defense. It's like watching a video game.
    FSU.........Hired a coach that's been mediocre at every stop except for one 10-win season at USF...But it's all Jimbo's fault.

    Don't see a link to the article, but I don't know how anyone could say OSU and USC are over-rated. Both of them have been consistently at the top for decades. Michigan has been irrelevant for a long time, same with ND.

    I'll give you USC. OSU? Nah. They're consistent, but it's not like they're Alabama....even though they beat Alabama in 2014 on their way to a title.

    They should be winners with that weak-sister schedule they play every year that has at least 9 guaranteed wins wrote all over it. If they don't win at least 9 or 10 every year, it's their fault.

    They were Bama back in the 70’s. They owned college football back then. A little lean in the 80’s, then have been at the top for the last couple of decades.

    Bama and USC virtually tied for 70s supremacy.

    Bama won 3 titles, but just 79's was close to unanimous, the other 2 were split with other teams.
    USC also claims 3 titles from the decade, but only the 1972 title is pretty much uncontested.

    Before the BCS era many titles were pretty dubious, thankfully our 1980 title is uncontested though.

    ND historically was overrated because of the huge Catholic voting and media machine.
    Of their Heisman winners, maybe 2 would have won if they'd played for any other team.

    True....But until after the 1973 season, National Titles were awarded before any bowls were played.

    True dat, but USC's 1972 championship ended when they crushed #3 Ohio State in The Rose Bowl.

    Surprised UCLA hasn't been mentioned. Except for being in LaLa land with some LaLa HC's....not much to be said about them..

    Paul Hornung was the only Heisman winner that came from a losing team. You guessed it....a 2-8 Notre Dame team in 1956. And what mega-star did they overlook? Jim Brown of Syracuse, of course. All because of what you posted about the Eastern media and racial bias.

    Fellas,

    The national media does this to keep the mid-west fan base interested. The same can be said for teams in the SEC, West, SW, and NE. Their mission is to attract a wide audience for TV ratings. Period!

    Whether it is listening to talks shows, reading articles and reviewing ratings, I always consider the source.
