Notre Dame might not play in a conference, but when it gets down to divisions the school has always been divisive.

Oregon is almost certainly headed to the Fiesta Bowl to play the Big 12 champion this year — Kansas State or Oklahoma.
With those two quarterbacks, it wouldn't be a shock to see Oregon vs. Texas A&M next year in the Rose Bowl … for the BCS championship.
