So fox studio has Notre Dame out of the playoff

[IrishBlooded]

I don’t disagree about the Bama/OSU part But for all the teams that have been apart of a conference forever, as SOS always said our main goal is to win the conference, and everything else will fall into place. It’s tradition jus like winning against the big three for us. A measure of your season.

I will believe that the CCG means a fucking thing. As soon as I see a team with a CC from before the game was played take down a banner they got for one.

The CCG was created to help make money for the SEC. And give that data point that no one else had. Which helped in the BCS era. Now you have a playoff. You could have had both Georgia and Bama play their first round playoff game at home against another opponent this week and make even more money. I think it is something that will end up going away. But I think they stick around until at least the renegotiation of the playoff around 2025

Could ND win. Sure. Would they be favored to win more than 50% of the time. No. So they will be a dog in either opponent. If I was writing lines today it would be something like
vs. Clemson 10-12 points
vs. Bama 15-17 points
That is depending on Tua at game time.

And the name of the WR is Boykin. However his real strength has been in helping by getting double teamed. Which has opened up Claypool and Feinke. And that is really his biggest contribution the last couple of games.

We will see at noon tomorrow no matter what.

My guess
Bama - Oklahoma at Miami
Clemson - ND at Dallas

I’d say more like Clemson 4.5-5.5
Bama 10.5-12.5

Oklahoma's best win is against a 4 loss team that beat them.

 

[corn train]

I’ll allow it

12-0, can't keep them out, but I wouldn't mind a statement being made to them. Every other contending team had to put their playoff hopes on the line today. Notre Dame got to sit home.

They need to stop being contrarians and join a conference.

Kind of like Alabama last year, only they had a loss.

 

[Chewbaccer]

I wish Bama would have been left out last year, but OSU had to fuck around against Iowa.

Tell us about Alabama and their juggernaut schedule.

 

[WindyCityCoug]

Remember when TCU and Baylor watched at home during conference championship week a few years ago?

Yes, but didn't Alabama stay home last year on this weekend without playing?

why is it Ok for a Bama, but not a ND who is undefeated?

12-0, can't keep them out, but I wouldn't mind a statement being made to them. Every other contending team had to put their playoff hopes on the line today. Notre Dame got to sit home.

And by making a statement, I don't mean keep them out, I mean knock them down to 4 and make em face Bama in the first round.

Fox sports hypes up the B1G and Big12 and ESPN hypes up the SEC/ACC...its all about who you got a contract with.

 

[michigaNDer]

Tell us about Alabama.

Southern state between Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Alabama is the 30th largest by area and the 24th-most populous of the U.S. states. With a total of 1,500 miles (2,400 km) of inland waterways, Alabama has among the most of any state.

 

[Ron G]

ND's schedule is comparable without playing this week. In some instances, it is even better without playing today. You guys can start bitching when we start scheduling FCS in November. ND plays one of the toughest schedules every year, and they travel from coast to coast.

To emphasize, Notre Dame's opponents have a better record than all the teams in top 7 except Clemson. Their opponents are 77-69 (Clemson's have won 80 and lost 65) with two of the losses belonging to Pittsburg and Northwester tonight. And all of their opponents are FBS with ten being from the Power 5. That means that their opponents have also played difficult schedules and did well.

NFL Alabama blows through their usual high school schedule and everybody shits on Notre Dame.

 

[SteelersPride]

You know I hope they get left out. Then their entitled asses may join a conference

 

[_rolltideroll_]

Tell us about Alabama and their juggernaut schedule.

You're starting to get on my nerves. Perhaps you want to tell us all about your juggernaut schedule and where you rank in the grand scheme of things? Don't bother, it doesn't matter...

Or we could just get rid of conferences.

Never happen, but I can dream.

Sure, here you go:

BCF Toys - 2018 SOS Ratings

#100 Clemson

 

[Pariah]

OU is 34-3 in the past 37 games. One loss in 2OT, one by last second FG, and one by 7 points to Iowa State somehow. OU vs. Alabama is the only game I want to see.

 

[sanction]

I don’t want to play Georgia again?

Y’all leave Notre Dame alone.

I wouldn't mind that message being sent either.
