Niche Question for OMT

[MtneerManiac]

Why was I not informed that Notre Dame is college football?

I was under the impression that they're a mediocre modern day team that was excellent in the past.

Of course, I'm just a young'n.

where did you get that michigan has the most bowl appearances?

they are pretty far down the list. maybe you meant current most consecutive bowl appearances, which was just broken last year at 33, '75-'07. all time your streak of 33 is second only to nebraska's 35 from '69-'03.

btw, here is the top 10 most bowl appearances all time (top 11 to include michigan):

Years 1869-2008

Teams that went to bowls

Team	Count
Alabama	56
Texas	48
USC	47
Tennessee	47
Nebraska	45
Georgia	44
Oklahoma	42
Penn St.	41
Ohio St.	40
LSU	40
Michigan	39

sorry to hijack the thread.

for the topic, i like the idea of the N/A for conf prestige for ind. teams.

nd, as with most other elite schools, should have plenty of other strong points to sell, such as the tv deal, historical prestige, facilities, fan base, etc.

Initial conference prestige is hard coded. Every year you advance in dynasty it gets recalculated.

There are plenty of us Golden Domers on this board.
Most of us realized a long time ago it is not worth our time to defend ND on this board.
There are way too many people that dislike ND on any message board you will go on, to ever "win" an argument on a message board.

By the way honestly why should ND's conference prestige be maxed out when they are not in a conference? And they will not nor should they ever join a conference in football.

This is a rather extreme example, but if the Sunbelt all of a sudden starts whooping up on every other conference, does that make their prestige go up? If so, how will that be factored in '10 with custom conferences if I take the best of the old SWC and swap them into the Sunbelt? Will that conference go up in the second year because of the strength of those teams? Just curious.

The thing that gets me is ND wants to be in the Big East for basketball... but they are too (fill in the blank) to join a football conference? Right there is your answer for why people hate ND. Because they get special privileges for no good reason to the rest of us.
