Does the ACC profit from Notre Dame football

My only point that I was trying to make is that some fans think we get extra credit or recognition that ND plays us and ACC opponents but they are also smiling and giving us the middle finger by not "joining" as an actual member. They have always acted as better than anybody out there by being an independent. For those who want to say but we only lost by 7 to ND, its almost nearly as bad as UK saying they are a football powerhouse because they're SEC, SEC, SEC. They're hanging on the coattails of the Alabama's, Georgia's, LSU's and soon to be Texas and Oklahoma except those teams are actually SEC members. I hate both Ohio St and ND, but if it had to come down to it, I would pick the Buckeyes over the priviledged green and gold.

" ... that some fans think we get extra credit or recognition that ND plays us and ACC opponents ... " - Newsflash, WE DO.

" ... but they are also smiling and giving us the middle finger by not "joining" as an actual member." -- so what? You think UNC, or UVA, or Duke really want U of L in their conference?? Hell no they don't. So why should we care if ND does that?

Does ND deserve their special treatment by all of college football? That's a debate that has raged for the past 20-30 years. And it will continue to be debated.

But BECAUSE they have this special place in college football, we DO get extra credit for beating them. That's just a fact.



I'm rooting for ND over Ohio State because Ohio State fans are numerous, and insufferable.

What was effective for ND was Georgia having to start the "greenest" of QB's and it was pretty effective for the Penn State cornerback falling down and leaving open the receiver he was defending all alone for the tying touchdown.

OSU smoked both IU and Penn State this season and didn't need good luck and favorable flags to do it. ND should lose this game by double digits. But, as we all know, the better team doesn't always win.

OSU beat PSU by 7 points. Both OSU and Notre Dame dominated IU.

What's ahead for this Cards team.

Okay boys and girls, I'm here to tell you all by March Louisville should not only be a tournament team, but a high seeded team.

So far, through six conferences games, the Cards have already played four of the top teams in the conference, winning three of them. The remaining 14 conference games are not so daunting a task to win.

Tell me how many of these games would the Cards be the underdog and where do you see a likely defeat?

@ Cuse 8-8
Virginia 8-8
@ SMU 12-4
Wake Forest 12-4
@ Georgia Tech 8-9
@ BC 9-7
Miami 4-12
@ NC State 9-7
@ ND 7-9
FSU 11-5
@ Virginia Tech 7-9
Pitt 12-4
California 8-8
Standard 11-5

So there you have it. How many wins will Louisville end up with? Playing like they are and no more serious injuries, I forsee something like 23 and 8.

The three losses to SMU, NC State and Pitt. If there's a 4th loss I would see it being Wake or ND.

So 22 or 23 wins would mean no bubble and probably a #5 or #6 seed.

Then there's the conference tournament which I believe is something Kelsey would thrive in. A run to the title game with Duke could move the Cards up to a #4 seed.

This Louisville team has proven to me even limited with injuries, that they are a very good team and due to a historic bad ACC conference, will take full advantage. Coach Kelsey will be ACC coach of the year and a candidate for national coach of the year.

20 wins plus a run to ACC title game and a 6 seed in Tourney seems possible to me.

Mens team won't be ranked this week. Didn't receive votes last week. 36th in NET. That's all that matters!

It will be proof positive of the bias against Louisville if media voters don't include the Cards in the top 25.

What does this team have to prove when teams like Arkansas was ranked? They have won six games in a roll, not the bottom feeders either. UNC, Clemson, FSU, Pitt and even Virginia.

Three of those wins on the road, four of the five by double digits. Not a single bad loss with all five defeats by quad 1 and 2 teams.

And most of this after losing two main players for the season.

I don't give a rats ass what a computer ranking says, if a voter looks at the results and maybe watched some of the games, how could they defend not having Louisville ranked? They couldn't and it would be a bias on their part.

Louisville is in 2nd place in the ACC and threatened Duke better than anyone else. I simply do not see one metric that would give a voter pause on placing Louisville in the top 25.

Period!

I don't get the whole L's down reaction. Texas fans have been putting up with 'horns downs" for literally forever. It means nothing.

Maybe so but it’s just stupid and played out at this point. I will play Devils Advocate and say it’s fine when UK does it because we are rivals and that comes with being in a rivalry game. But for teams like Miami, Pitt, and insert whatever team we are playing just looks stupid on TV.
