That's just it though, wouldn't it be nice to have a patsy to play every other week? The murderer's row of games every year THESE days is a recipe for fucking disaster after disaster...and ask TCU how not having a CCG helps your CFP chances.

I don't have a problem with ND getting into the CFP...but the odds aren't really in yalls favor.

If Notre Dame run the table they will get in. If they have one loss they will need help but that is pretty much the same for everyone other than Alabama.

Until ND decides to marry a conference, their chances of making the playoff will always be on the outside looking in.

Sorry.

the last time they were a contender they made the title game.

 

[desert heat]

so you think they're one of the 4 best teams in the country? <shaking head in dismay>

they have some quality wins. there's no way of telling if they are top four without a playoff.

12 against their schedule and the way they looked? i don't think so. a one loss sec team should roll in ahead of them.

Stop being a whiny bitch.

Did you miss their previous 3 games? They have a shaky game in a rivalry game and now they suck.

they have one quality win imo and that was vt. game 1 was against a hurt michigan team that is nothing like they are now. the standford game COULD have been included except it turned out they sucked.

they were also quite shaky against ball state and vanderbilt. wasn't just pitt.

Who exactly was hurt on Michigan?

Michigan isn't a quality win? Seriously dude

 

[bksballer89]

Michigan is a top 10 team but that's not a good win? LMFAOOOO

Wimbush started the other games vs Vandy and Ball State. Clearly a much better offense now that Wimbush got benched......

let it go bud, just let it go

that was a misstatement. they had a new q-back, new guys at several positions and in general were unprepared for the game. they aren't the same team now they were then. you may not agree but i feel that wasn't that big a win.
and you ignored the rest of my points.

they are now. they were #14 preseason and then dropped out of the rankings. was not as good as it now appears. LMFAOOOO!

i agree that made a big difference. doesn't explain this showing against pitt tho does it?

Rivalry game. Not going to beat every team by 3 tds.

You have to be honest with yourself sometimes.

it's so easy to fall back on that excuse. i don't believe in "rivalry" games. it's a wive's tale. they played like shit for no good reason. why can't you just admit it?

nd hasn't won a championship in decades. what exactly are you expecting from them, domination all the way to the championship. if i were an nd fan, i'd just be glad the dark time of nd football is over with, and they are back in the mix.

i'm expecting consistency and a well coached team. something we haven't had in ages and something we still don't have.

The rest of your points weren’t worth addressing.

Shea Patterson didn’t exactly walk in from the cotton field. And they had all spring and summer to re- tool the offense to suit his style which is what they did.

In fact we had a lot of question marks with our offense we had to replace two first round offensive linemen and a new stable of running backs. We were also without our best nickel back.

This is not a win worth downplaying.

6-0 is consistent.
