I have no dog in this hunt, but I will admit I would like to see the SEC NOT win just for the experience. However, given that the game is only on ESPN - I won’t be watching it. grrrr. Come on DisneyABCESPN - broadcast the damned thing. ---

I hate both teams… Nick Saban could not cut it in the NFL because the system was not corrupt and he actually had to play on a level playing field. But in the SEC you can buy whatever players you want so they succeed. Notre Dame on the other hand is just as arrogant with practically zero success in the last 13 years but I do like Teo and their defense is solid. I will watch but I am hoping for a controversial 3-0 win by… hell I really do not care. ---

Wobble Tide! Beat ND! I don’t like Bama, but I don’t hate them. Plus, I want Miami to be the team to break the SEC stronghold. ---

Not a 'Bama fan, but I really dislike Notre Dame…SO… ROLL TIDE! And count me as a person who is glad ESPN is covering the game and not ABC. ESPN is HD and my ABC Station is not. My prediction: Bama 27 ND 16 ROLL TIDE! ---

“Roll Tide” could be construed to mean that the opposition “rolled” them (as in mugged or somesuch). Weel since I hate Bama my choice is clear. ---

Don’t remember ever being so apathetic about a national championship before. But in the end, SEC can bite my sac. Go ND… I guess. ---

Really looking forward to seeing ND in humiliation. So far, so good. 😃 But yeah, the SEC can eat a bag of dick. ---

14-0 with six minutes and change left in the first quarter. ROLL TIDE ROLL! ---

21-O Alabama as the second quarter just gets underway. How did Notre Dame get into this bowl game? Was it their player’s rape skills or what? ---

Apparently there’s a fair bit of nutrition to be had from a bag of dick. Anybody know what the biggest point differential in a national championship game was? ---

My Irish are getting mugged, right there in public. The refs aren’t helping things any, but my Notre Dame is sucking bigtime. ---

28-0 Alabama with 30 seconds left in the first half. Sweet! I dont really care for Bama, but Notre Dame has earned my contempt. ---

Maybe this fiasco will convince the BCS to put margin of victory back into the computers. Anybody watching Notre Dame barely squeak out wins, even over unexceptional teams, could see that they did not deserve to be here. ---

I’m tired of SEC boosters, but I’m really enjoying this because I just find Notre Dame unbearable. ---

If this holds, the Ducks should vault over the Irish for second place. ---

Especially the obnoxious ones on this very board, but I’m really enjoying this too. I despise Notre Dame.
