Notre Dame has nothign agains beating up weak teams regularly either (Navy, Perdue, Wake Forest, Boston College this year), and Almost lost to a disfunctional Pitt. If they make it to the title game, I wouldn't be saddend by them winning, but I really don't think they have much of a chance. The speed and strength of the SEC offenses, and especially the defenses, is way above all their previous competition.
