I completely agree. I'll be honest, after the Michigan game I thought ND was going to lose to Michigan State. But I still thought they would beat Pitt, Purdue, and Air Force leading up to the USC game. I think ND sitting at 4-2 going into that game is much better mentally for these guys than going into that at 3-3. Then honestly, there isn't much after USC until the Stanford game. I think it's very possible (I'm not saying it will definitely happen, but it's possible) for Notre Dame to be 9-2 and ranked in the top 25 again going into the Stanford game.bo shemmy3337;901434 wrote:Don't be surprised if ND goes on a role. They clearly have the talent and IMO they just needed to get a W and they got a big one over a ranked team yesterday.
To discount the Air Force and Navy games by stating they aren't much would be a big mistake.sherm03;901448 wrote:... Then honestly, there isn't much after USC until the Stanford game. ...
I'm not too worried about Air Force. ND basically handed it to them last year. And I think the Navy game is going to have a little bit of revenge built in.Con_Alma;901457 wrote:To discount the Air Force and Navy games by stating they aren't much would be a big mistake.
Of course you can. I didn't say you couldn't but rather that it would be a mistake. a fans schedule evaluation doesn't impact the game. That's a given but the implication in your post was that those scheduled games weren't much of a challenge. Even to a fan you're setting yourself up for one of two things:sherm03;901460 wrote:... I can discount whoever I want and it won't affect the outcome of the game at all.
With all due respect, ND should not lose to Air Force or Navy this year. It wouldn't be an unrealistic shock if they lost, it would be actual shock.Con_Alma;901465 wrote:Of course you can.

It's a game to not get excited about, 2. if your team loses an unrealistic shock that your team shouldn't have lost.
Either way the whole point of being a fan is the emotional attachment to the teams' and their competition. Overlooking those scheduled teams seem to be a mistake in my mind.
If we're being honest they should never lose to Air Force or Navy but the fact of the matter is that they do and looking at them as not much on the schedule is a mistake in that it has happened too routinely for those that don't think enough of the games to view them as realistic challenges.sherm03;901470 wrote:With all due respect, ND should not lose to Air Force or Navy this year.

Did you see the score of the SC vs Navy game yesterday? I did, and at this point I believe Navy is the third toughest team left on the schedule behind USC and Stanford. A few years ago maybe that wouldn't be saying much but the military academies have come to play recently.Con_Alma;901474 wrote:If we're being honest they should never lose to Air Force or Navy but the fact of the matter is that they do and looking at them as not much on the schedule is a mistake in that it has happened too routinely for those that don't think enough of the games to view them as realistic challenges.
I watched the game. Navy is less athletic this year than the last several but much more precise in their execution. The were simply overmatched by the running game of SC but the Gamecocks had a difficult time stopping Navy's offense.bradmaynard;901540 wrote:Did you see the score of the SC vs Navy game yesterday?
