Onward, I have watched Kelly berate kids on National TV many many times.inexcuseable? every coach lays into his players. and if they had the coaches mic'd up on the sidelines, they would need an "R" rating for the games to listen to what the coaches say to the refs. hell -- saban was about to blow a gasket on the ref when his team was up like 42-7 and you count how many times he was swearing by reading his lips. LOL.
Agree, and this is inexcusable. However, he seemed to have a mellow year, but I guess not losing helped. Stay tuned....
The SEC will not be able to continue its domination only because there will finally be an inferior team like Kansas St. that goes undefeated along wiith a Notre Dame and this will shut the SEC out of the NC game.
A lame undefeated team like Notre Dame -- that plays nobody -- should not be able to sneak into the BCS Championship game. Strength of schedule and conference affiliation have to be applied to this equation after the egg the UNDEFEATED Irish laid in Miami.
Being UNDEFEATED should mean NOTHING if you play a lame schedule.... just ask Matei Te'o. And some of you thought he should have won the Heisman Trophy.... lunacy.
Ok, let me try to explain the SEC. We believe that having strong conference opponents make us better; therefore pulling for other teams in the SEC is just natural. If you like beating up cupcakes all season that’s great, but when your team gets shellacked in their bowl game it shows the weakness of your conference. I pulled for Bama because in order for my team to win a title they need to improve and beat them. If the other teams in the SEC make it harder for Bama, TA&M, UGA, LSU, or UF to get to the championship game, when they do it makes it special. It’s also respect for our opponents, if they run the gauntlet; they represent the SEC (especially those they defeated) in winning the title. Yes it’s Bama’s victory and they had to put in the work to get where they are.

Notre Dame Strength of Schedule #31
Alabama Strength of Schedule #34
Just sayin'
I don't buy that stat at all. If Notre Dame played in the SEC they'd be at least a three-loss team. BOTTOM LINE!

I can only agree partially. FSU and Miami were truly dominant programs who played in bad conferences.Yeah, they pretty much thrashed whomever they faced in-conference. ND doesn't play an eight-game conference schedule, so we'll never know how they could perform under the same conditions. They're facing teams, from week to week, with very different styles of play.
