2025 College Football Playoffs

[Bane]

This seems likely to lead to some seriously butthurt fans of either BYU or Texas Tech.

After this week I hope its BYU fans.

 

[NDpendent]

Looking at some of these matchups this weekend and there are quite a few potential upsets on the line for us to jump up in the rankings

After this week I hope its BYU fans.

I really wanna stomp them in the playoffs though! I'd even be okay embarrassing them in the Mecca of college football: Provo!

Mormies have it made. They come back from the mission at 25 and bag 21 year olds thay worship them like southeast asians do their men.. then start pumping
Out kids. Its not a bad gig. Book of Mormon kiss an interesting reak.

Not being from Utah, but living there for 15+ yrs, this is a WILD interpretation of what actually goes on.

OK... I'm no fan of cancel culture, but "Tar Baby"?


do your work, mods

The phrase itself come to us from Black Americans, and it refers to 1) a golden doll made of pine tar and tupentine, and 2) a sticky situation that people will regret engaging with, more generally.

Over time, some people confused pine tar with asphalt, and some started using the phrase in a racist manner. That in no way means the term itself is racist or that people who use the term are racist. Implying that somebody who uses that term must be a racist is like implying that somebody who owns a hoodie must be a burglar. Just because a bad thing could be true doesn't mean it is true or should be treated as true.

I do get that this poster is new and probably here to troll. That still does not suggest racism. An internet troll is the epitome of definition #2. That is, you may regret engaging with Tar Baby, and he may be acutely aware of this.

would not be the first time something was warped and twisted by modern social justice warriors
the famous V for victory sign used by Churchill in WW2 has been supposedly corrupted by the same SJW heroes
I think even the OK sign is frowned by them now

Definitely not the first time…….so many phrases and words have gotten way out of touch with their original intentions/meanings.

Hey! I love Churchill! He was an awesome dude!

Little known fact that he was a huge NFL fan, loved Cincinnati, and did a lot in their community to help food shortages

That phrase always reminds me of this sketch

Or you could just shut the fuck up and let him criticize racist shit.

What's next, a couple paragraphs about how the "n-bomb really just means ignorant"

 

[EvilleIrish]

Not sure what caused it but our odds on FanDuel to make the playoff dropped to -325...still pretty good though

 

[ozzman]

Bud sees us as hosting a game now, and you can tell how much it pains him to say it.

I enjoy Cover 3 for big picture college football and their banter, but mannnn they are not fans of ND whatsoever. It’s actually pretty funny how much they go out of their way to backhand ND sometimes

Constant ND shade.

 

[Dale]

Miami fans today realizing they are above Louisville with a H2H loss. Funny how that works….

 

[NorthDakota]

We all have biases and all that jazz but the extent to which many random CFB folks really have a problem with Notre Dame always boggles my mind.

I respect any major org reporters who are willing to call out specific AP reporters by name for their biases. Like the beginning of this video where they call out SEC beat writers for lowering Oregon for struggling with a Top 20 Iowa in the rain while raising Ole Miss for beating the Citadel.

Playing Iowa in bad conditions sounds like a nightmare. The citadel is not even good for FCS.

See 2:48 to 3:19 for guy rep-ing ND and the Shark Tank investor guy's ND comment

 

[ulukinatme]

Texas Tech fans are cockier than ever today. I hope we get them and smash them in the playoffs. Indiana next would be beautiful.

 

[NDFAN2008]

I’d rather get the 10th seed avoid Ohio State get Ole Miss in the first game

 

[IrishLax]

Only team to avoid is Ohio State, their defense is insane. Just go anywhere except the 9/8/1 pod and hope someone takes out Ohio State for you lol.

For my money, the current 11/6/3 pod is by far the easiest path to the semis. I think all three of those teams are kinda trash.

So, we need Oregon and Texas Tech to lose.

Conference Championship weekend was added as a TV product to make money, and it just so happened to have a reasonable impact on determining a champion. Now they still want it as a tv product, but it no longer makes sense in the playoff format.

They need to move Week 1 to Week 0, eliminate Conference Championship weekend and slide everything up accordingly. Would allow the Semis to be played Jan 1 and National Championship to be the Monday after NFL Wild Card weekend.

Doesn’t technically the teams that would be playing for the conference championship be in the playoffs anyway? Doesn’t seem to make any sense at all other than just generating revenue and clicks.

 

[LifelongFan]

I think we could get jumped if Oklahoma or Texas win out as well, so that could get us to the 10 seed.

Gotta beat Ohio State at some point, and maybe coming off of the bye is the best time for that to happen.

Agree that if we want to win the Championship, we would probably have to play pOSU at some point. Not sure if there is a better time to play them.

Any tweet about ND will be full of the most random assortment of fans of other teams just repeating "join a conference." TCU fans randomly having beef with ND this morning. Then they'll claim we're "irrelevant," lol the cognitive dissonance. Damn, I guess we're relevant enough for any tweet of us to draw the entire Medium12 out of their shanties to chant "join a conference" like a siren call went out. Meanwhile, I haven't thought about TCU since their mass extinction event in the NCG against UGA 4 years ago.

When its the Big 12 its particularly amusing because its just a bunch of G5 schools rebranded
