Third straight 10 win season is the kind of consistency that the program has needed to take the next step so its a good thing. That said the only two teams worth a shit on the schedule except for maybe USC or UVA, beat us and the stink of the Michigan game just wont wash off. they’re finally...

And still the best team that will play in that stadium this year is whatever bowl game it’s hosting.

Manny needs excuses as to why he lost to FIU.

Also, does Ole Miss give out a belt for scoring TD’s? Who needs extra motivation to score TD’s? Kinda explains a lot.

Note to Ole Miss, you got to make it to the NFL before you can act a fool after scoring.

Well only way an Oregon fan is going to see a national championship trophy is if they drive to Nebraska.

Kevin White works for Duke. Helping ND land a coach would be a clear conflict of interest. He’s not as dumb as you to risk his job over that. You also referred to him as the AD. Don’t be mad you were caught in a lie.

The talent is there. I think Helton is too much of a buddy to his players. They like him but they don’t fear him. That’s why they play so undisciplined

Kevin White hasn’t been ND’s athletic director in YEARS you moron.

Counterpoint. It doesn’t take 5 years for potatoes to grow.

This. And there is no second place:

All All that will tell you is who the best in that conference is. It doesn’t necessarily mean that team is the best (or second, third, fourth or 5th best for that matter).

An invitational based on merit suits me just fine.

Our sellout streak ended :noidea: I guess technically not a record because Nebraska’s was longer.

If the goal is to pit the best teams against one another to crown a champion then having a mediocre champion doesn’t accomplish that.

Is it? Teams are still gaming schedules now. What’s stopping them?

If you want a system that favors a four or five loss team over a one or two loss team I don’t know what to tell you.

I could live with this.

BTW going to 8 teams will probably solve the P5 problem on its own. I think in most years, a P5 champ will b a top 8 program anyway. (Would have been the case last year).

Fair enough. I still don't buy the well that's how they do it over here argument. Div. 1 football stands alone. There are too many Div. 1-A teams as far as Im concerned anyway.

It certainly is for basketball. But just because that's how its done in other sports isn't terribly compelling. For decades they chose a national champion in unconventional means.

Heres the thing though, I think in most years, an argument can be made there is not much difference between teams 1-8. 9 and 10 a lot less so. Certainly there is almost no difference between teams 3-8. So I don't think there is that much DEBATE about the 3 extra spots. At the same time, I think...

Just winning a conference championship game (which is nothing more than an money grab anyway) should not be an automatic criteria. Without committee input you're going to see more garbage gamesmanship with scheduling. Teams will surround their most difficult games with glorified scrimmages just...

Leave the committee. Top 8. I fail to see how being a P5 conference champion should automatically qualify you. Had Northwestern pulled off an upset in last year's Big 10 game, you'd have a five loss team in the playoff.

Lincoln Reilly icing his own kicker. Bold strategy.
