ND won't get high enough in the human polls to get into the NC game. They've had too many close calls against pretty mediocre teams, and their only convincing wins have been against downright bad teams.

Don't worry though, Nismo - with 2 losses they'll still get a BCS game. I know it's early and we don't know who they'll play, but I'll go ahead and guess the score at 48-14 (with the domers scoring 14).

I believe we're well over a decade now without a bowl win (and something like 8 or 9 straight losses).
