I knew going into the year that ND was overrated and WVU was the best team in the country.
That Notre Dame loss clears the path for WVU to get in the title game as long as they can get by Louisville.
i saw in last year's bowl game against ohio state that nd's defense is lacking speed & playmakers.
i have to disagree with my good friend clem ,i'm not convinced at this point of the season that wvu is the best team in the country. while their offense seems to be unstoppable, imo their defense is not championship material. it seems that you can throw on them. we have to also see what they will do when they play tougher compettiton.
at the end of last year, i thought that ohio state was the best team in the country, but this year they seem vulnerable to the run. so they seem to me to also have a weakness.
based on what i have seen so far this year...the best teams in no particular order...
usc
ohio st.
auburn
lsu
fla.
michigan
w. virginia
louisville (but they lost their qb)
it'll be interesting to see how everything unfolds.
