I am calling it right now, Notre Dame wins it 21 to 17

Manti dismantles their running game and the offense finds just enough holes in their defense to get it done.

I think Alabama's offense will beat down the overrated Irish:

Bama 31 Irish 17

( I hope I'm wrong and RFDC is right. I root for ND)

Hate to say it but I think ND wears out just like Georgia did and loses it late -

AL 31
ND 24

Bama. Please. But I think ND will win 20-16.

This thread will be a good way to find out who is awful.

I think Alabama is way overrated this year and 8.5 on a neutral field after not cover 8.5 on a neutral field against a similarly ranked opponent should be jumped upon.

Alabama by 14. Notre Dame can stop them defensively, but I don't see how Notre Dame scores much against that defense. They struggled against average defenses.

I agree with Doc. I think ND hangs in there, winning for a lot of the game, and let's it slip away at the end.

Holy cow... kind of a weird day to be releasing this kind of story. Opportunist.

Look, again, uh, eh, Nick Saban is one of the biggest penises known to man, but eh, uh, again, look, for the love of God, he's not going to get beat by Samoan football.

It's a disgusting story that made it hard to root for ND this year. Disappointed there isn't more coverage about it. (It's Prince Shembo)

Bama 13
Irish 7

Both suck at offense.

Alabama 24
Notre Dame 17

Manti is over rated, but I love the guy.

College football is certainly bigger in the places that don't have NFL teams, but the Super Bowl trumps college football every day of the week.

I've been waiting for this since the 93 BC game ended....and I will be at the Bulls game tonight.
The DVR is set and I will be taking an AM radio to the Bulls game.

Well, I guess Kyrie Irving isn't a bad alternative to the national title game.

Head: Alabama 31 Notre Dame 17

Heart: Notre Dame 21 Alabama 20

this man is clearly insane

There is no better week of football than the conference championships. College never tries to go head to head against the NFL

He likes to watch High School football too, so he's clearly deranged.

Some would argue that Divisional round week is better.

4 games. Best 8 teams in football.

Lots of blowouts in the Divisional round it seems.

What is the case that Notre Dame can win this game? At best, isn't Notre Dame good enough on defense to stop Alabama from scoring 24? How will they score though?

Their running game is good. Combine that with a couple spectacular plays by Golson and a defensive turnover in Bama territory and you're all set.
