Be aware, I don't like Notre Dame at all. I think their fans are often extremely arrogant, and put down those who root for others (this may only be my experience with them, though), and I think a good number of Fighting Irish fans root for them because of their tradition of excellence, whether opponents of them like it or not. In other words, those fans aren't really NOTRE DAME fans, they're Winners fans...sunshine fans. Those kinds suck.

However, Notre Dame faces Michigan, when many predicted a blowout. They won. Notre Dame faced down Michigan State, when much talk was of how they usually seem to lose to them these days. They won again. Notre Dame faced Tennessee when Tennessee was talking National Title run. ND won again. They did, however, lose to Purdue when the talk was of how the Boilers hadn't won at ND for 30 years, and lost to Pittsburgh when Pitt hadn't beaten them since the last ice age or so.

They've reached higher when they've had a swaggering power to face. They now face #1 USC. I will go out and "mistakenly" predict the Fighting Irish defeating the Trojans, at Southern Cal. If I'm wrong, and USC sees the danger of Notre Dame, then oh well, I guess I'm wrong.
