NCAA Playoff Committee Rankings 2014 (Unranked)

[AgentJ]

The thing that hurts the worst is that we won that game... we literally outplayed them and won. Unreal that one penalty can ruin us like this.

Conference bias? Better become full fledged members of the ACC...

Ole Miss at 4 is a joke and I don't understand MSU being ahead of us. But you have to remember we haven't beaten anyone. We have one loss it's not like we are undefeated. It's pretty simple if we win out we will be in

Neither has fucking michigan state.

 

[DogDaysIrish]

Considering how many PAC12 affiliated people are on the committee, should we be surprised?

I know its early, but this sure seems like a system that fucks Notre Dame. How MSU could be above us is beyond comprehension, and Ole Miss being in the top 4 is a freaking joke. LSU was the 24th (AP) ranked team in the country until they beat Ole Miss, now they move up and Ole Miss stays in the top 4? Unreal... The deck is stacked for the SEC. All they have to do is not lose to their cupcakes and the best records of their conference go no matter what. Total horse$hit.

ND needs more Directional Michigan teams on the schedule to put us where we need to be.

You honestly believe that when a team like Ole Miss doesn't drop at all after losing to LSU, a mediocre at best team that ND would piledrive? Me thinks not. If this is honestly the joke we can expect from the playoff committee, we were better off with the BCS. Fuck this committee and their SEC dick riding. They are promoting the continuing SEC bias, and it's sickening.

ESPN on FSU: "Wins are wins"

ESPN on ND: "Wins are too sloppy"

You've got to be fucking kidding me with this shit.

Clearly teams aren't punished for playing shit non conference schedules and FCS schools. What a crock of shit.

I know man and I said I don't know how MSU is ahead of us.

Playoffs start in what 7 weeks?

 

[woolybug25]

I never want to hear anyone bitch about our schedule being too tough ever again.

 

[Circa]

In all actuality this is actually set up in our favor. 4 or 5 of the top 9 will play each other and work themselves out. This may just be above our intellect at this time.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

MSU beat the current #15 team, we beat the historical #16 team but now so have 2 other teams and Stanford is unranked. Our best win doesn't look that good and they aren't giving style points..yet.

Once again, let's see what happens after ASU.

 

[GreenSox04]

We were better than florida state. Sparty lost to the 1 loss ducks by what? 21. FUCKING HUH.

 

[T Town Tommy]

I am fine with where Bama is at right now. Much like ND, I think we win out and we are in. Way too early to get stirred up about any of it. With #3 playing #4 this weekend, I would suspect we will see a lot of movement within the top 10-12 teams moving forward.

 

[ohara831]

I thought maybe 7th, but 10th is a joke. No faith in the committee at this point. Even if we win out, will be very hard to get into the Top 4.

 

[DogDaysIrish]

Turn on the tube. Think of John Clayton, but douchier...

 

[woolybug25]

There is a distinct possibility that we win out and are left out.

I'm effing done with college football if that happens. What a crock of absolute bull$hit this effing game is. Ran by a bunch of crooks, degenerates and manipulators.

Today's mistake, even if corrected tomorrow, is still a mistake today.

You're kidding, right? This thing is setup for two (minimum) SEC teams, FSU and most likely Oregon to get in.

I honestly believe that we need miracle losses for us to even have a shot at this thing.

 

[Irish Insanity]

I figured 7. Anything outside of top 10 would be wrong. We are not a top 4 team right now. Win at FSU and it's different.

I'm not sure we would've made the top 4 if we beat FSU. We lost on the last play in what is a debatable call.

Who did Mich St. beat to put them up ahead of us?

Michigan, by a smaller margin, gave up points, and didn't look good doing it. Plus they got waxed by the #5 team and we narrowly lost to the #2 team on a debatable call.

 

[IrishCat]

Timing of the committee rankings hurt ND... The rankings were done this week, which was a BYE week for the Irish... so there was nothing fresh in the committee's minds. If the rankings were done last week, the media momentum and thought process would probably have ND closer to #5 committee ranking... instead people's memories have already moved on from that Florida State game.

Absolutely... Was thinking that exact thing today. This couldn't have fallen at a worse time.

 

[IrishinSyria]

That being said I definitely was shocked to see us at 10. Thought 8 at worst.

That's about what I was expecting too. Two weekends ago, I thought the Florida St. game had opened some eyes, but it was clear that any good impressions had faded away by the next weekend. To be fair, using "best loss" is a really bad category to sort with...and without that, we don't have much.

We have a better resume than MSU period. On one side, they made it clear that who you beat matters. But when it came to MSU, they didn't call it that way.

I have no idea why a panel full of people with no clear protocol and no prerequisites is allowed to be the final word on this. Christ... sitting AD's are on the freaking committee making judgement calls about the teams that decide their own career fate. No one thought this was a bad idea? Really?

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Seriously, this outrage is unwarranted right now.

Who have we beat? Every team ahead of us has beaten a current top-25 opponent. I was shocked initially but clarity has set in. We just need to get to the more difficult part of our schedule, we still have some teams that can move us forward.

Yup... Saw Alvarez and the cat from WV who's name escapes me at the moment. Are there more than that?
