		<description><![CDATA[We're less than 2 weeks away from the 2010 college football season kick-off, and the Irish start the season by taking on Purdue Sept 4 at Notre Dame Stadium.    So of course ND fans everywhere are engaging each other in the annual August ritual of  voicing either expectations or "hopes" for the upcoming season.    And as usual, NDNation.com has run their annual "probability poll" in which thousands of Irish followers take 10 minutes to assess ND's chances of winning each game on the schedule as a % likelihood of winning.

College pigskin kicks off on Thursday, September 2nd with 18 games including openers for Ohio State, Miami, Pittsburgh and even Lane Kiffin's folly. There is no playoff, so, as the talking heads say: EVERY GAME MATTERS. Here are a few games that might matter more than others.

This announcement created some discussions about how The College Football Belt should handle the situation.  The concept of The Belt is simple &#038; therefore made the decision on how to handle the Trojans sanctions simple.

The great thing about this list is that you don't have to rush the elves to GET 'ER DONE by 12/25.    Nope, this list can be accomplished over several weeks ... even months, if not years.   Okay ... coming clean here ... some of the items are nearly miracles, so you might want to get some help from YOU KNOW WHO.
