That being said, if ND can put up 38 on them, we should be able to put 40+ on them no problem.

We shall see, ND does not have a QB with Pryor's mobiltiy or a running back like Well's but IMO ND can stretch the field better than OSU can.

Georgia vs. Hawaii - 7.0
LSU vs. NoD from the year before - 9.29 - Also the lowest rated NoD BCS game ever.
Really, the only two consistent BCS bowl games from year to year are the Rose Bowl and whatever game is the BCS Championship Game. But, when NoD comes in, there is usually a ratings boom. Michigan vs. Florida outranked 3 out of the 5 BCS bowl games in '08. NoD would have made it 2 out of 5 instead.
Ohio State vs. Kansas State - 8.7
Ohio State vs. NoD - 12.9
Two games with at-large bids available. Replace NoD with either Kansas or Hawai'i and BOOM! higher ratings. Big names bring in bigger ratings.

Kudos to him for being a naturally gifted athlete though.

Lots of outside factors determine the ratings of a specific game, such as day of week, time of game, what other game(s) may been on at the same time, etc. Still, just because a bowl game may have viewers if it has Notre Dame instead of Hawaii or Kansas State doesn't necessarily mean it's "better for college football".

How do you know that ND would have drawn more viewers than TSUN vs Florida? That is your opinion, and you are entitled to it, but it is an opinion based on little evidence, if any.
I don't think that anyone doubts that ND has a fan base but you argument is very weak, for all the reasons that Mili says it is.

For those that are interested, just saw CW on tv (thank God for that 55" tv) and he is still fat.

That's two for two. I still think they lose to USC, Boston College at least and probably Pittsburgh. I think they lose 5. If they lose more, then this is Charlie's last year for sure.
