anyone is silly if they think Notre Dame cant compete with USC....
Notre dame plays to the level of their competition, therefore they will give it their best this week......
Anyone has any doubts about that, just ask Tennessee, and Michigan how their BCS standing was effected by Notre Dame....
Among common opponents, u might think USC shows better, as they beat BYU handily and Notre Dame fell by 3...
However USC had to rally for a 3 pt win against Stanford, a team that ND beat a little easier..
Against Washington, USC cruised 38-0....however likewise, Notre Dame won 38-3........
This will be a better game than most realize.....Everyone has just written USC into the championship game, but they arent there yet....
