I went over there just to bask in their tears. Always funny to see random flairs I don't ever think about seething over ND.
Random ASU fan talking about how "no one wants ND in there" advocating for 3 BigXII teams. My brother in Christ, I can assure you no one wants ASU or three other random Big XII lightweights in and many, many people want ND in.

I know Freeman said he wasn't going to use the ranking as motivation and that is smart, but I do hope that this is motivating to the boys. No they know they control their own destiny and everything is for sure in front of them.

The outrage over at r/cfb is so predictable and hilarious. ND could be at 25 and those morons would still be pissed.
They're so angry about it... but the /r/cfb poll has us at #10.

This is usually par for the course. Complain that X team is ranked too high or too low, but rank them pretty much exactly where AP/Coaches/Playoff has them.

IMO, ND should root for BYU this weekend. It would give Texas Tech a second loss, they have two easy games left. BYU has TCU and Cincinnati left. Utah doesn’t have a cakewalk either.

If Tech wins, we want them to win the Big 12.

I want IU so bad. Sure, they could beat us, they're a good team. That's the fun of it, but I want to see how they measure up.
I think they’re soft on D and get by playing inept Big 10 offenses.

Well the other 9 teams would want 3 Big 12 teams to get in, I can tell you that for certain

“I think it starts with two losses, total of 4 points against two very, very good teams. One of them ranked third in the country and one ranked 18th. We talked about, I think early on defensively, maybe they weren't as good as what we thought they would be but certainly most recent, it seems like they've been much, much better defensively.

"Six straight wins. You look at their backfield, Jadarian Price, Jeremiyah Love. Probably the best backfield in the country when you think about one-two punch. Going into the Southern Cal game, they lost their starting center for the year and they were able to overcome that and run for a bunch of yards again against Southern Cal.

When we look at the tape, we think Notre Dame's a really solid football team, both sides of the ball."

Thankfully, the committee realizes that Miami is NOT the team they started the season as, and is not punishing us (apparently at all.) Of course, I view this as justifiable. I imagine that Coach Freeman will strongly impress upon everyone that the "next game is all we're looking at" ... but I hope for all that is Holy that he has them nearly crazed with blasting intent when it comes down to Pittsburgh. Narduzzi will try to have them in a rage, we can bet on it.

This is why I'm so glad we've come around on defense, I knew that would be a factor. You can't be absolute trash on one side of the ball and be a top 12 team in the nation to me.

Reece proclaimed the Irish are a top 5 team as they went to commercial.
Feels good to be on the other side of a media bias/favoritism campaign. Of course winning 3 playoff games last year really helped, but I wonder if a lot of these media people just really hated BK and weren't willing to give him (and us by extension) the benefit of the doubt.
