That's this week.  Whether it will make a difference come January is

That week.  There are still lots of more weeks in the season.

At this moment, calculating schedule strength is a somewhat meaningless
exercise.  Purdue didn't look like a tough game for Cal, Michigan, or
Notre Dame.  It clearly was for Cal, and might prove to be for Michigan
and ND.  There are lots of teams on the schedule of one of Michigan and
ND not on the other's.  Until things get a bit clearer as to what teams
are strong this year and what teams aren't, I wouldn't make any strong
predictions based on schedule strength.

You're making a lot of unstated assumptions, here.  What if Michigan struggles
in every game this year, barely winning them, while Notre Dame trounces all
its foes?  What if the Pac10 champion turns out to be a wimp, while Notre
Dame gets matched against the strongest team in the country in a bowl game?
What if, for every one of Michigan and Notre Dame's several common opponents,
Notre Dame wins more convincingly?  I strongly believe that Notre Dame being
the home team for the tie game will be a minor factor, at best, come January,
even if the choice does come down to Notre Dame vs. Michigan.  (Which I
also doubt.)

FSU did play one semi-difficult team in 1990, that being Auburn (8-3-1).
Then again, they lost (ok, gave the game away) to Auburn that year (what
was that score again?  Mark?  Jay?  20-17 maybe?).

Well, as everyone else has already pointed out, I agree that Lou Holtz
was full of BS when he talked to the NBC reporter at the end of the
game.  In today's (Sunday's) Houston Chronicle is a good editorial by
Fran Blinebury.  Apparantly Notr Dame has a precedent for this kind of
lame duck behavior.  

" ... This time, it was a 17-17 draw with Michigan.  In 1966, it was
a  10-10 push with Michigan State.  Both times, the home folks 
swallowed it about as easily as they might a quart of battery acid ...
In 1966, Parseghian had quarterback Coley O'Brien fall on the ball in
the final minute in order to preserve the tie against Michigan State,
and Notre Dame's 9-0-1 record wound up earning the Irish a national
title."

My own theory:  Lou Holtz has come down with Alzheimer's or something 
like it and won't admit it.  I'm never liked Notre Dame, but I've
generally respected the guy until now ....

I (personally) can't see coming down that hard on Holtz.  This morning on CNN, 
Holtz made some good points.  Two years ago against Penn State in the same 
situation Mirer threw an interception that allowed them to kick the winning 
field goal.  He wanted to check the coverage before starting to throw.  They
ran on the first play and Bettis almost broke it for a long one, and so they
ran the second play to get the first down.  Clock would stop on the first down
and they could go for the pass from there.  The penalty (illegal formation?) is
where he goofed and he admitted that.  Two years ago after a penalty the clock
would stop until the ball was snapped again.  I guess the rule has changed and 
he forgot the rule change.  He was on the sideline talking to Mirer and the 
clock restarted.  He indicated this morning that he certainly should have 
remembered and it was his fault.  They then threw the ball on the next two plays
and the clock ran out.  If Mirer had kept his first pass inbounds, who knows
what could have happened.  On the timeout, I think you have to save it for a 
possible field goal try.

I honestly don't believe he played for a tie.  However, his way of playing
for the win was probably more conservative than most would have liked to 
see.

I have to disagree with the poster that said both teams are way overrated.
I think you have to take into account that this game was early on in the
season, and that both teams were "feeling themselves out."
Michigan looked superior to ND, IMO, but Grbac blew it.  If I didn't know 
any better I would say that he and Pete Rose have been talking...
Notre Dame played well, but they are not MNC material.  Michigan, on the other
hand, still has some potential...

One question:  Could somebody who taped this game PLEASE check and see who
got the ball first in the first half?  I must be losing my mind completely,
b/c I was sure I heard the announcer say that ND had elected to receive in 
the first half.  Then, they got the ball first in the 2nd half as well..
Somebody please clarify this for me, before I go nuts!


Next big game:  Purdue @ ND     
hehehehehehehe

             NORTH DAKOTA STATE VS CAL POLY SLO

On Saturday, September 12, the Bison of North Dakota State
University will take to the field against Cal Poly SLO.  There is
no question that NCAA Division II football has been dominated by
the Bison for over a decade.  Few teams at any level have
demonstrated such ability.

While it is admirable that Cal Poly will travel all the way from
the West Coast to North Dakota for an inevitable defeat, defeat
will be the end result for Cal Poly SLO.  Few teams can equal the
intensity of the Bison and fewer yet, if any, will be able to
defeat them.

The Bison are the toughest team in the toughest conference in NCAA
Division II football sooooooooo.........................

It's interesting that the top 4 records were set in the last 3 years and
all of the above records seem to have been established in the last 20 years.
I was under the impression that college offenses depended heavily on
rushing till a few years ago and I would have expected to see some
records from the '50s and '60s in the list. Have the rules of the game
changed to help rushing offences in the last few years? I have been
following the game for only 5 years now  and so I do not know how
things were before that.
