You guys had a top recruiting class this year too. Didn't do you any favors...

Until they 'WISE' up and get rid of Charlie Weis, I don't see very many positive things happening for the Irish.

They don't want to have playoffs to protect that collection of garbage games? There are about four that interest me.

I wish they had the old bowl system. I loved getting up at 10 am and watching football until midnight. Having two or three t.v's in one room and keeping and eye on all of them. Now it just sucks. Match-ups that people do not want. VaTech v Kansas--who cares about that one other than people who went to VaTech and Kansas.

I totally agree here, but until a better option is brought to the table, we are sadly forced to swallow it. Too many colleges and universities would lose alot of money if these D rated bowl games were taken from them.

I propose a 16 team playoff and some lesser bowl games to those who believe they were stiffed. This way, the average bowl game teams can still make that extra dough and we can all see the great matchups that unfold in teh playoff system. How this would work out is beyond me, but I think we all can agree that changes are needed.
