2024 College Football Playoffs

[GreenGemsOmally]

We play the worst team in the field and then Georgia without their qb is a huge break for us.

But Saban is absolutely trying to kill our independence in this hour. Sounds pretty convincing on playing 10 conference games and not scheduling any tough out of conference games.

The way Beck was playing and then how the backup looked, UGA without their starter might be better lol.

 

[DillonHall]

So? If it’s not hard, it’s not worth doing.

We aren’t joining a conference. Ever. So stop.

Lol that's just dumb and being stuck in the past. People also said we'd never get artificial turf or a Jumbotron, or pay players

Unless they change how the Playoff seeding works, the administration has to look long and hard at joining the Big Ten

 

[ACamp1900]

So, hold serve at home, beat UGA in the sugar in surprisingly convincing fashion,… beat Boise in the semis bc PSU is PSU then run all over Oregon in the natty,…

 

[irishff1014]

I disagree. UGA has obvious weaknesses.

They do. But they shut the run down well. ND can’t burn them down the field like Texas did.

 

[NotKoon]

Alright after my initial being super annoyed at being 7, I think we might be better off than being 6. Indiana/SMU is a toss up for who is better and if we were going to have to play UGA anyway I’d rather try to catch them off a 3 week layoff

 

[Old Man Mike]

Gentlemen, we are IN!!! Golden should beat Indiana with any normalcy of play.

The only thing that I don't like is that Georgia would then be more rested than we are. hmmm do we really have THAt big of a layoff? If so, I retract my concern.
But I think, that with our defense (which half the people are forgetting again) Georgia doesn't score much.

This is turning out to be a very good year --- refreshing fun.

He said the exact opposite. He wants MORE tough out of conference games and fewer cupcakes and he's worried that this result will incentivize cupcakes.

 

[dublinirish]

Sucks that our home field advantage will be about nil with an instate team

That’s how I feel. Not getting a chance to drag an average bama team in the cold and bury some old ghosts with it just feels so so disappointing now

As predicted, us and Ohio State hosting the prime time games.

Not just the prime time games, but the ones Disney didn't sell to WarnerBrosDiscovery.

 

[irishandy]

Playoffs baby! Congrats to the football team.

When to tickets go on sale?

 

[Terry Jillery]

I think we got a good set up. The only great team on our side is Georgia. The other side is a gauntlet with Ohio State, Texas, Tennessee, and Oregon.

 

[LifelongFan]

I don't think IU has more fans than the average Purdue-ND game honestly.

20DEC, 8pm

Boom!
Easy peasy!

There won't be a public sale. Alumni get lottery results tomorrow.

 

[jprue24]

They do. But they shut the run down well. ND can’t burn them down the field like Texas did.

RL can thunder fuck their ass like King did.

No, they won’t.

It shouldn't be a close game if we're actually any good. It shouldn't matter how many IU fans are there.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Yep no doubt who is the blue bloods.

ND and Ohio St are the prime time games. "Shocker"

They are way better off without Beck and Indiana is much better than Boise, and probably better than ASU/Clemson/SMU

 

[DillonHall]

Agree, we were gonna have to beat Georgia and/or Oregon eventually to win it all. Our side of the bracket is much easier

Same layoff time, just not lined up

 

[MacIrish75]

I get the initial consternation, but after a couple minutes of thinking, if we can’t beat IU at home at night in December then every narrative about ND is proven true.

Go out and curb stomp them and set a precedent and send a message.

If we’re going to pay to keep MFMF long term, he’s got to go out and get this done.

 

[LifelongFan]

I don't trust our run defense enough against Jeanty or Skattebo tbh.

 

[dublinirish]

ESPN execs salty af about not getting nd bama I’d say

I'm a little concerned about Indiana...#1 rushing defense giving up 70.8 yds per game..and #9 in passing yards allowed at 170 yds per game...

We are ranked #3 in passing yards allowed...# 51 in Rushing defense with 138.8 yds per game

Indiana ranked #29 passing offense in 265.2 yds per game

Rushing offense #51 with 173.6 yds per game


ND passing offense ranked 101 with 196.4

ND Rushing offense ranked 10 with 224.8 yds per game

ND’s defense is a terrible matchup for IU. Their offense depends on attacking LBs and safeties with RPO. They haven’t seen anybody like Kiser and Watts.

 

[Huntr]

It's too bad ND can't take advantage of the cold vs a warm-weather team.

That's the only disadvantage I see. Indiana and UGA both beatable.

 

[FOTY977]

Rooting for 55 and dry now right? …right?

I do think Freeman teams struggle a little after byes and do great with momentum. Beat the overmatched team from down the road and stay healthy, unleash hell on the dawgs, and let the cards fall where they may after that.

Watts was the1st guy I thought of with the matchup.

I'm also glad that we get Georgia in New Orleans and not Atlanta like it would be next year.
