2024 College Football Playoffs

Georgia is a much tougher potential second round matchup than Boise State or ASU.

ASU has a chode running back who is impossible to tackle. I'm happy to not see him in an ice game.

 

[Fbolt]

How PSU has the easiest path is ridiculous.

 

[Huntr]

Before ND joins a conference, can we try not losing to a mid MAC team at home?

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Fuck bama. Lol

 

[rtrn2glory]

Agreed.

Couldn't ask for a better path. Penn St President and Michigan ad must have a drug ring together

 

[ThePiombino]

I think I know who else loves Dominos....

Lol I really don't, but I also don't project my personal feelings/tastes into folks 1/2 my age.

Georgia -- without Beck, who was killing them -- is probably the most talented team in the country. Boise State, ASU, Clemson, SMU were the four teams that are a "tier below" ... two of them getting byes is nutty. Major flaw in the system.

 

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

Not surprised at all. Time to join a conference

It’s not happening. Just stop.

 

[NDMatt91]

Are any of you afraid of any of these teams?

I don't think any of these teams are great. It's a pretty weak year. 2018 Clemson, 2019 LSU, 2020 Bama, and 2022 UGA would smoke every single one of these teams without breaking a sweat. With that being said, I'm not overlooking Indiana, and a potential 2nd round game with UGA scares me because they're going to stack the box and we'll likely have trouble blocking them up front.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Penn St is a fucking joke. Committee jerking them off and I have no idea why

 

[IrishTusker]

ASU has a chode running back who is impossible to tackle. I'm happy to not see him in an ice game.

That would be a second round game, not at home, right?

 

[TracyGraham]

It was a conference Championship game in which they lost by 1 score to the #1 team in the country. Both of their losses were to top 8 CFP teams and they don't have a NIU or NIU-equivalent loss.

Man I dont think you get it. If they win, they get a huge leg up of a 3 game path to the championship. It's not like they played the game with no potential reward. If you get a positive for winning, there should be repercussions for losing. There was zero repercussion.

 

[NDFAN2008]

Rather play Indiana vs Clemson

 

[IrishTusker]

Okay, let's say we beat NIU and lost to A&M. Any reason to think the rankings would have been different?

 

[wizards8507]

I'm with Saban.

 

[IA4irish]

so when are the dates/times released?

 

[Katzenboyer]

Committee just announced that ND will never be higher than a 7 seed.

They won’t punish a B10 or SECCG loser.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Pretty much this. They set the seeds to avoid conference rematches and the result is that we get a boring first round game and a much harder overall path than two bad teams that lost their CCGs.

IU then we need to beat a weakened UGA.
That leaves us Penn St or Boise to make the championship game.

I'll take it!

 

[MacIrish75]

I'm with Saban.

 

[arndtjc]

I swear to god if it’s anywhere close to being more than 30% IU fans I’m going to riot

PSU is really good at losing to top teams? Okay...

The "good loss" argument shouldn't matter that much. Who did they beat?

 

[IrishLax]

The worst part about this is that there are going to be TONS of Indiana fans at this game... we always have the trope "it's their Super Bowl" but in this case it literally is their biggest CFB game ever and it's a short drive.

 

[thekid33]

Let's go fuck shit up.

Shake down the thunder.

(Also, might be time to join a league, but let's focus on that another day).

 

[Fbolt]

Straight seeding should be the way.

 

[wizards8507]

That would be a second round game, not at home, right?

Yeah I was more talking about the universe where SMU had beaten Clemson and Arizona State got pushed out of the top 4 seeds.

 

[phork]

Why doesn't playing 1AA teams earn demerit points.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Are any of you afraid of any of these teams?

No. Oregon will give us the hardest game but we can absolutely win against any of these teams

 

[DillonHall]

It’s not happening. Just stop.

We're keeping our football team at a disadvantage if we don't join a conference. We basically have to be undefeated to get a better seed than we did this year

If an ND can sells their tickets to an Indiana fan they deserve a painful death. Let's please not let them take the stadium over.

 

[rtrn2glory]

I just became a big SMU fan.

I'm starting to look at Penn St the same way I look at Michigan. Fuck them
