It was a typical game between these two traditional rivals. 3-3 in the last 6 games and tonight's 7 points was the largest margin of victory in that span. This game is always a dogfight. Shame it isn't going to be an annual game any more. Good Luck to ND the rest of the way.

And that's BS to me. If that were to be true, the ND wouldn't be getting offered what 15-20M for football alone by NBC. If the mystique was dead, then people wouldn't give a f*ck about ND football. Ratings prove otherwise.
And if I'm not mistaken, ND was in the National Championship game last year. They may not have belonged in the game; however, their name alone got them the votes etc to get into the game. ND is as relevant as it always was despite it's record the past 20 years.

12-0 got them into the title game last year. Their name didn't get them the votes. 12-0 against their schedule did it.
The word "Columnist" next to "Bleacher Report" is pretty amusing.
BTW, ND is 7-3, LSU is 7-3. ND beat 2 ranked teams. LSU beat one. Both have 2 losses to unranked teams.
Where is the Bleacher Report " columnist" saying that LSU's mystique is dead?
