Lou Holtz=Huge Homer

Recently on ESPN Lou Holtz was on talking about the preseason AP Top 25, he mentioned Florida's challenges and Utah being overrated but one thing stuck out more than any other. Coach Holtz actually said that Notre Dame will play for the National Title. Now i will give Lou Holtz that Notre Dame has an easy schedule, only one of their opponents are in the preseason top 37, which of course is USC. But Notre Dame had a pretty easy schedule last year as well and the finished 7-6 including a bowl victory over traditional powerhouse Hawaii (haha!). Oh and by the way only 1 of those wins was against a winning team and that winning team was Navy, and it was close 27-21. No offense to Navy but Notre Dame should never have to squeak out a victory over Navy, as big of a fan i am of Navy the talent is just not the same, but Navy wants games more than Notre Dame does. I personally think Notre Dame being in the preseason Top 25 is somewhat of a joke. Now back to Coach Holtz i know he has a special place in his heart for Notre Dame, he did win a National Championship there and i get that. But when you become a member of the media unless maybe if you are the play by play announcer for that team you cant show your bias. Ever since Holtz has been on ESPN he has been one of the biggest homers on the entire network. Now if you honestly believe that Notre Dame or Florida or Texas or whoever is the better team OK, but it just seems like in Holtz's case he picks Notre Dame just because. Now lets just say by some miracle Notre Dame does advance to the National Title Game do they really stand a chance against Florida or Texas or Oklahoma, in a word No. Case in point in 2006 Notre Dame went 10-2 was ranked 11th in the Country but when they collided with LSU in the Sugar Bowl it was no contest 41-14. Lou Holtz knows his football I'm not arguing that just in the future a little less bias towards the golden dome would be refreshing.
