Notre Dame blows out UT and now GT, is it time for them to play OSU or Bama yet?

No kidding. Time to get some payback after the last two blowouts by OSU.

SSG Raymond Whitener - Not sure I follow the reason for this... So they beat UT and Georgia Tech, neither of which can be considered "power houses"... The last time Notre Dame played Bama was 2013 in the National Championship and the score was Bama 42 and Notre Dame 14.

SSG Raymond Whitener remember, ND has lost their QB. It may make for some unpleasant losses in the near future

I think in the best interest of some sort of self respect. ND needs to stay right where they are at, and not venture out into the "playground".

First off, they played Alabama. Remember how that worked out? It was ugly. The two teams didn't belong on the same field. As a man who can't stand Alabama, I wasn't very pleased to see them gifted a championship so easily.

Second, the opposite is true. What should happen is that all of the major conferences should refuse to play Notre Dame unless and until they join a conference. If the ACC wants to keep enabling Notre Dame, then so be it. Notre Dame can play those weak teams, all of the service academies, and Brigham Young. And if that schedule never rises to playoff consideration, then that's called reaping what we sow. Notre Dame isn't special. The sooner the major conferences stop treating them like they are, the sooner they'll stop acting like it.

I honestly don't think any team could beat OSU yet. I haven't seen anybody do anything special yet. Notre Dame already found out what its like when you play with the big boys. I dont think they deserve a shot until the join a conference where they play decent teams.
