Thats becuse people and the public just dont like notre dame, its that simple. It's the fact that people are Jealous of what notre dame has/had, with the combination of the recent inconsistency of the program, added in with the 10% of ND fans that are delusional who brag about the past national tittles in any CFB argument and predict a 10-2 or better team year in and year out that sets ND up so well for haters. I get it, and if i wasnt a die hard ND fan i would probably be on the hate train too if i didn't completely understand the circumstances.

[poopoop]

Just because ND has a nationwide legion of fans who probably couldn't even find South Bend on a map doesn't mean they're a 6 star prestige school. Lol at 2 bowl wins in the last 15 years.

I actually don't hate ND. I'm 21 so I really wasn't watching football in ND's hayday. They just haven't been good for a while now, it really isn't about hating them.

I believe the reason they went down this season is because last season they were holding out that ND would have the breakout year because they always seem so close to doing it. EA is kinda giving up on that break out year and is admitting that ND isn't a top dog school anymore. To be 6* you need to be in the NC talk at least every couple of years.

Yeah i didnt get the vibe you did hate them i was just saying in general. I would agree with that second statement as well, but as i have stated before, why did they finally decide to knock them down to a 5* when theyre actually getting better. Dont see the logic

I have no hate for N-Dame, but I feel a prestige drop is deserved.


If Boise State made it to only 2 bowls over the next 5 years, they would not stay a 5 star. Notre Dame wins 2 over 15 years, and some people act shocked that they drop a star. It's just one prestige star.

I do hate Notre Dame. I went to one of their rivals.

Let's be real here you guys have one of the most obnoxious, pretentious fan bases in the country. Magnified by the fact that most of you have never even been in Indiana, much less South Bend. What has ND done that makes them a 6 star school? Maybe it's time to hop in the time machine and play NCAA 1947 Played with pen and paper but at least ND deserves it's prestige rating in that one.

Bias aside, ND should not be a 6 star school. If they had 6 stars last year that was a mistake. Good to see it corrected. If/when they do something they'll get their star back.
