It's the most positive preseason I've been since 1989 --

we had such a good team it was ridiculous. And we really should have been national champions.

Under the BCS system that came along a couple of years later, the national championship game would have been ND-Colorado and we know how that turned out.

The thing in 1989 was that the schedule was absurdly difficult and losing the last game of the regular season sucked.

This year the schedule is a lot more manageable and we have a ridiculously good team.

Fwiw, odds on winning the NC: OSU +550, ND +700, Texas +750, Indiana +750, Oregon +800, UGA +850.

Ohio State is our white whale. We're gonna have to beat them.
