USC has to be one of the most underperforming programs of all time in the modern era. They literally sit on the nation's richest and most talented recruiting base and have just one championship to show for it. Garbage coaching, including Pete Carroll.
Notre Dame will run into some serious problems if it has to play Alabama. Giving Nick Saban a month to prepare is a death knell. Pray Georgia can pull of a colossal upset, but it likely won't happen as Georgia hasn't won a big game in decades. ND would run over Georgia.
