Until Nick Saban leaves Alabama and even after he leaves they will still have a very competitive team with all the depth at every position. For God sake their 3rd string RB was a 5 star. So winning a NC at ND will be something unobtainable for the years to come. Let's face it making the playoffs is one thing but beating teams in the playoffs is a totally different thing.
This year if and when ND makes it to the playoffs they will for sure be one of the first to be eliminated. So my question should the fan base stop expecting NC from ND for the foreseeable future. Should a 2 loss season with a decent bowl win be what is settled for?
