Ball State beats (9) Notre Dame

[stormspencer]

Obviously the Ball State that showed up tonight against ND wasn't the same one that showed up against us. Of course, we had a say in their performance here.

Some other really good matchups tonight. WV beat Virginia....which is a nice win for the conference. And Texas escaped VCU as well. Big 12 is looking strong again.

Should make the 'caveman' happy.

Notre Dame is always overrated. Their football team was rated as high as #5 this year. Happens almost every year. Their season ending rankings are usually a season low.

Ball State is probably a pretty good team. We will beat a lot of teams if we play as well as we played Ball State. We hit them in the mouth early and they never recovered.

Notre Dame needs to do a better job at scheduling in football.

Georgia, USC, Stanford, Miami, Michigan State, NC State in the same season....They played against 4 or 5 times who were in around the top 10 at some point in the season.

Michigan/Michigan State and USC should be the toughest teams they play all year. If they won those and went undefeated they would give themselves a better chance at the playoff.

If I was "independent" and had freedom to schedule whoever I wanted, it would look more like this:

Ball State
Miami of Ohio
Florida Atlantic
Army
Navy
Syracuse/Miami
USC
Utah State
Michigan/Michigan State
Florida International
Indiana
Boston College

Except they're contracte to play 5 games every season against ACC schools as part of their deal to remain independent in football and ACC in all other sports
