How’d that Miami game go? Statistically speaking they are at the top for most overrated, it’s just a fact. So is FSU and TX. Difference is ND hasn’t won the National Championship sine 88’, FSU has won three since then and TX has one.TheREALowlsley said
If you are referring to Notre Dame, they have some of the best academics and athletics in the country, and I believe they have one of the most difficult schedules in the country. I do not see other teams playing consistently tough schedules, I know thhey aren't always undefeated and I know that is because they always play top tier schools and don't schedule garbage games like many other schools do such as FSU who is thankful they had an easy schedule this year to get to 6-6.cbboarder said
I'd luv a shot at the most historically overrated team in college football. Any guesses? Yep, ND. I know it's not going to happen but it would be awesome!
Go Owls!

I am a Miami fan and I am glad they won, I'm just trying to give them credit because they have strength of schedule playing teams like Univ Miami, USC, Stanford, Michigan state, and Georgia back to back weeks towards the end of their schedule they start to either get beat up or tired so that is just my statement I wanted to make.Posted On: Nov 26th 2017, 5:16 PM #374195
Much of that is due to not joining a conference but I don’t entirely disagree with your point but the stats are there.
GO OWLS!

I'm not discounting their academics or athletics. However their football team gets more credit than they deserve (IMO). Tend to get blown out in the big game, Miami, NCG against Bama to name a couple.
Granted, they play a tough schedule but that's caused by their exclusive TV deal. Cupcake games don't get the ratings needed by NBC (?) to justify the payout.
But point taken….
Go Owls!

Winner of the Conference game gets first pick, loser gets second. After that it’s gets complicated between the bowls, ESPN and the schools. Either way we get to pick. If we don’t get a shot at the Independence Bowl I am hoping for USF in St Pete and I do think we can beat them. Get Flowers off his game (he’s on or way off) and we can win that game.owlsdad said
Just asking, but I thought CUSA teams had a pecking order of getting to pick? I am assuming if this is a done deal, UNT and FAU already have said they would NOT pick the Bahamas Bowl? I actually agree with that decision, but to re-educate me do the teams who finished higher actually get to pick the game they want?
