Part of it is just ol’ fashioned anti-Catholic sentiments.
But most of it is bitterness dating back to the 1970s and 80s before bowl committees existed when the individual bowls controlled the invites. Notre Dame was always the top $$ draw, whereby other schools felt slighted. Then came Notre Dame’s lucrative television deal with NBC. Lots of jealousy and disdain for Notre Dame followed.
Hence, any present day opportunity to chip away at Notre Dame’s “standing” entering bowl season is petty payback by big conference schools colluding with each other.
A 2 loss Alabama being ranked #5.
2 loss Texas at #7.
2 loss Ole Miss at #10 (until today).
I'm curious to see how far Kentucky and Ole Miss drop after this week's losses.
That being said, with Kentucky, BYU, and Ole Miss losing, it becomes harder for them.
Oh, and something about just having beaten the #1 team in the nation...
Could screw us out of something.
The interception, the pass to the end zone on 4th down, and the “targeting” crap with 20 seconds left. It’s like they were emts trying to revive the patient.
just my 2 cents as always I could be wrong
