It may be one random poster but I think it is an accurate statement about the general feel across the nation. Notre Dame feels like everyone's last best hope: a team that plays like the SEC template that may actually be able to out-defense, out-rush an SEC team. If you look at most polling on this game, most of the nation wants the Irish to win.
most might want ND to win, but when hard pressed to vote who they think will win, the same bunch will vote Bama to win. :cool2:
