Notre Dame vindicated with Alabama's loss?

[RobToxin]

How many teams other than Clemson won last night?

In all sports?

Or just college football.

Speaking of other sports, I should have known shit was gonna be weird this week after Alabama beat Kentucky in basketball.

There's other sports?

I view it differently. Why does ND need “vindication”? They were unbeaten, and had s resume better than other options. That wouldn’t change given any result last night, nor if they had lost far worse to CU.

Notre Dame doesn't need vindication, only fools think Georgia or an Ohio State that got their shit pushed in by Purdue should have gotten in over Notre Dame.

 

[poewelch84]

If they survive next year's semi-finals, they'll get an opportunity to get blown out by Clemson again, but on a bigger stage.

Then they can claim the #2 spot, which comes with a cool consolation prize.

I already told you they won't make it next year, I believe they play Georgia and Clemson in the regular season Notre Dame doesn't schedule the Citadel.

No. Put them in any P5 conference title game and they don’t make the playoff. They could’ve realiatically won the PAC 12 but that conference is a joke and was bound to be left out.

Can you stop with the conference championship game canard. You’re telling me OSU was challenged against NW? Clemson with Pitt?

At Michigan and at GA are two tough true road games.

 

[Across The Field]

No. Notre Dame got beat physically. Bama got beat by Clemsons coaches havin a 100× better gameplan than us.

Anyone who watched these games could see they were dramatically different. Bama started out fine but lost because they were outcoached and couldn't finish drives. It's clear the Clemson was just lightyears better than ND.

Because all the hindsight bias that was spewed after their semifinal loss.

2022 and 2023 will be interesting. ND has both Ohio State and Clemson both years.

Plenty of time to figure things out.

2022 and 2023 will be interesting. ND has both Ohio State and Clemson both years.

By that time Urban Meyer will ND's head coach.



























Lou Holtz sayz so.

No. Not being in a conference eliminates what is arguably the toughest game all season for the playoff contending teams.

Again. NW. Pitt. Toughest games? If the other half of your conference is shit then the CCG isn’t exactly murderers row. The only reason these games exist is a money grab anyway. The are unnecessary

 

[poewelch84]

No Clemson next year but they do have Georgia in Athens.

Some times it's more about the money for the conference

 

[poewelch84]

Clemson might be 2020 but in South Bend. I think they lose one of those games they have to replace the middle of the defense.

 

[Taddy Mason]

Cats never needed any vindication in the first place

The only reason ND isn’t in a football conference is because of money.
