The overrating of McCarthy is laughable.

Michigan is winning with a combination of winning up front, a piss-ass easy schedule and a little help from their friends in the stands.
And today they almost lost despite being gifted 14 points by OSU + refs. Ryan Day coached like a pussy until they were down 14-3.

Their team is not anything special, they play pretty good defense (nowhere close to what it was during the Stallions era, though) and have an elite OL with very good RBs. Their passing game is "fine" but they never really have to lean on it. They are certainly worse on paper than either Georgia or Bama, and it's going to be interesting to see who makes the playoffs. FSU is the "cupcake" team in consideration that doesn't really have the talent to compete but will get in on resume.

They are just really good at everything. Not overly reliant on a qb or anything. Defense, running, passing, special teams. Much worse on paper than OSU talent wise but a far better team. OSU was chasing all game long.

Dude, they won and we lost.
Don't sugar coat it.

The best thing about Michigan having a good season is that the shitheels come out in force on this site to apparently revel in the bad news.

I'll try to be less sarcastic going forward. It just gets old seeing everyone but ND get to win these big games against the big boys. Especially Michigan.

BTW - Nobody is happy or reveling in Michigan beating #2 OSU when it counts with an interim coach.

Michigan has now won more big games in three years than ND has in the last thirty.
Don't even need to go back 30.

2023 - #10 USC
2022 - #5 Clemson
2021 - #1 Clemson
2018 - #7 Stanford
2012 - #8 OU and #10 MSU
2005 - #3 UM
2004 - #8 UM and #9 UT

vs

2023 - #2 OSU and #9 PSU
2022 - #2 OSU and and #10 PSU
2021 - #2 OSU

I'm surprised the neurons are firing enough to even type out a post like that, your hate boner for ND is poking out at Ron Jeremy levels.

UM is overrated. Only decent team they played all year was today. I think ND dominated OSU more than UM did.

Come on. He doesn’t hate ND he hates ND losing whereas you and I are cool with it.

He literally had the game today that McCord had ND. Just winged shit in between multiple WR & completing them.

Makes me fucking sick watch this Chicago kid that loved Notre Dame win these games for Fuckigan.
I thought he loved OSU? Didn’t he say something to Jenny Taft prior to the game about wanting to go to OSU buy they didn’t offer or something?

I've spoken to Naz elsewhere and others on this topic and I don't think we are dealing with a Carnell Tate or Kaleb Brown situation. All I know is JJ ended up at the school he liked the least of the Big 3 because they were the only one who offered.

But he who laughs last...

The problem is there isn’t a clear top4. There are a few ND teams that could contend this year. It’s good for the game if it stays this way, ND just needs to turn that corner and stop sticking their toes in the football water and get a bit more serious.
