BOWL SEASON (and playoff season also)!!

[Xeliou66]

Two really bad teams... But but we're 11-1. All wins are equal

I don’t agree that these are “bad teams” - I think ND is very good actually, if it wasn’t for that bizarre choke against NIU at the start of the year they would be unbeaten. I don’t think Indiana is bad, but yeah they wouldn’t be 11-1 if they had played a tougher schedule. But it’s absurd to call 2 CFB playoff teams “really bad”.

TD drive by the Irish, up 14-0

Indiana is not bad but they aren't good either

 

[PhilSimms11]

I fear Indiana doesn't have enough dogs to keep up with Notre Dame...but, we'll see.

 

[Xeliou66]

Indiana is getting destroyed, Irish D is dominating.

 

[TheSnowdog]

Indiana looks over matched so far
This game could be over by halftime if it isn’t already

 

[LeroyOU12]

Indiana is not bad but they aren't good either

ND is bigger and faster than Indy.

 

[Xeliou66]

ND leads it 17-3 at halftime, they are dominating the game pretty much. This game is going basically as I expected.

Yea. Two Really bad teams. Neither team beat anyone and comfortably in the top 10... laughable. They will be exposed next round.

Imagine being Penn St and having to beat SMU and Boise St to make it to 3rd round. .. Hahaha

and we suppose to believe we're watching the best teams. Lol

You are a biased Ole Miss fan - if you want your team to get in the playoff, try beating Kentucky. Until then maybe quit bitching. Sounds like you want an all SEC playoff. I think ND beats Georgia given that Georgia won’t have Beck.

ND is bigger and faster than Indy.

The Indiana secondary doesn't look too fast.

Well they are better than the 11 they beat. And are probably really better than any team ranked below 15.

Every team in the CFP is better than most of the other teams in college football. Because a team cannot beat a top 4 or 5 team and doesn't win the championship does not make them a bad team.

And a bad play or bad game does not define a team as bad. Notre Dame is probably undefeated if the QB took a sack and they with 25 seconds left An NIU has the ball a the 20 with no timeouts instead of the ND's 40 with 50 seconds left.

 

[Xeliou66]

Irish D has just been stout tonight as they’ve been almost all season.

 

[Xeliou66]

Leonard runs it in to make it 27-3 and that seals it up for ND. Dominant performance by the Irish. I honestly think they have a chance to win it all - their D is great.

 

[PhilSimms11]

Notre Dame 27, Indiana 17.
Hoosiers had some fight, but not enough. They had a helluva season (11-2).

 

[Xeliou66]

ND dominated by more than the final score indicated. Their D is great.

 

[raoul]

Irish were the better team tonight. That being said...it will be very difficult for them to beat the Bulldogs.

 

[Ron G]

Notre Dame 27, Indiana 17.
Hoosiers had some fight, but not enough. They had a helluva season (11-2).

Onside kick and two great catches against some of the backups.

I was not that impressed with their run defense. Probably one reason it was ranked so high is that in the second half of most of their games the opponents were playing from behind and abandoned the run game.

It is always difficult to beat Georgia, but if ND plays well, they have a chance. You could make a case that it will be difficult to beat ND.
Both tomorrow and into the second round every team will be tough to beat.
There may even be a 44-10 in there somewhere but that does not mean the loser is a bad team. Just as Indiana made the game look close when it was not. a 24-10 game can blow up as the trailing team goes into high-risk mode trying to get back into the game.

Indiana got clobbered by both OSU and ND. They don't have the talent to hang with top end teams
