Well, that doesn't scream "your body of work just got a lot better than ours" but I suppose Baylor winning and usc losing didn't help... just seems like an awfully big jump for squeaking by TCU to me. I think we're getting boned by the inflation of TCU, Baylor, and Ok St. :sigh:

This is how I have felt the past few weeks (the over inflation of Big 12).

I don't see any way we get in at this point. Unless Clemson and/or Bama lose in their Championship game. Even if they do, I could see their opponent jumping us.

If Florida beats Bama I can promise you after Florida loses tonight they will not be in the playoffs.

But I do agree with you. I just don't see ND getting in the playoffs.

OU or Bama has to lose (assuming UF loses to FSU). Neither seem very likely at this point.

Our playoff hopes are on life support, and pretty much depend on OK ST and their trash defense.

Okie is in.

Winner of MSU vs Iowa is in.

We're out.

So our season will end just how Joe has been all year. Just a step slow, almost getting there. And if by chance he got there (as we did prior to the BC game), just can't close the deal.

Watching OKS-OKU on TV with us streaming.. OKS Is most definitely pulling a Wisconsin this year! And In My Opinion...... A Wisconsin should turn into a word for a Conference FLOP!

I duno maybe we have an argument over 12-1 Clemson and 12-1 UNC. Probably our only chance. Florida will get smoked by Bama. Assuming we win tonight of course.

Honestly guys, you know ND isnt a championship caliber team right now.

What really sucks is that besides Bama, who has elite recruiting, the other teams in the playoff really arent that elite recruiting wise.

It is called developing players. ND does not have someone who really develops.

What a great season though. I thought it would be tough sledding at 11-1 for us to get in and to do it that we have done with the injuries is amazing. So many great plays and exceptional players. Adams, Kizer, Tillery, CJ, ...

Extremely proud of Team 127.

You are way off base here.

Like. This might be the dumbest thing I have ever read here.

Players aren't developed here?

With a last second loss to #9 team, will we stay in the top 10? Will we get a NYD bowl? Any thoughts or projections on where we go?

3 teams below us in the Top 11 lost. We should stay.

Any shot we get FSU or UofM in a bowl?

Agreed. 2-pt play away from beating Clemson and last second FG away from beating Stanford...this close to being undefeated with 10 starters missing part or all of the season along with multiple other injuries.

Try Clemson, FSU, Florida, A&M, Ohio State, Auburn, Tenn, Georgia, USC, LSU, mostly Michigan. I mean and this isn't counting the teams that are right around top ten to top 15 every year with a year or two in the top ten, top five every four to five years.

I think you just don't know as much as you think you do.

Vs FSU, Iowa/MSU or Ohio State in a NY6 bow (Fiesta or Peach) is a very good possibility. Rose picking loser of Big 10 champ or OSU. ND likely to play the other.

We are affiliated with the ACC bowl tie ins, so not sure we could face FSU.

Anybody but Alabama. It's time for a non-SEC team to win.

I'll take Clemson because they are having a special year for their program.

Needed to win this game and it didn't happen. It's probably for the best. What we've accomplished despite injuries has been super-human up to this point. Asking for a playoff win now would be a pretty tall order. Wouldn't mind facing a TCU/Oklahoma State/Iowa/etc in a New Years 6 bowl, hopefully we can get in there. Either way, we should get a decent bowl and a win would still cap off a great year.

I think we stay in the top 10 and get a NY6 bowl. My prediction is Fiesta vs OSU.

If you mean tOSU, you may be right. Spoke with a friend of mine who's with corporate at one of the resorts that host the Fiesta Bowl teams and word is this is who the Fiesta Bowl Committee wants.
