Herbstreit just called this "a bonus game." What, exactly is the point of these stupid CCGs, then?

Just stop playing them, then. Why are we here?

 

[slick7410]

12th game** they played one that doesn’t count.

 

[IrishinSyria]

to be fair, they have ads to sell tomorrow and “this is over and it’s obvious how the committee’s going to break” is terrible marketing and making as many people angry as possible is great marketing.

 

[ab2cmiller]

I changed my mind.

21 point’s isn’t enough to have the committee create the controversy of kicking Bama out after being forced to play conference championship game. It would take balls that the committee doesn’t have.

ND 9
Bama 10

Exactly, Eastern Freaking Illinois!!

 

[OrlaNDomer]

Honestly Bama should fall behind Miami. But they won’t. Not my problem. Go Irish.

[DCDomer]

As time expires...

ND -1200
Bama -300
Miami +140

 

[IrishLax]

Here's the logic pretzel for the committee:
-If you move BYU down, then you would have to also move down Bama to be consistent especially since you said on air this week that ND and Bama were "basically tied"
-If you don't move Bama down then you can't move down BYU, which means ND stays ahead of Miami

So for ND to get left out... which is still totally possible... the committee would have to get extremely crazy. Could happen for sure, because of corruption, but we'll see. Certainly better situation than when we started the day.

 

[MadMasher]

Well the georgia-alabama game couldn't have gone better.

 

[tussin]

It’s called a “13th data point” unless the team ESPN wants loses and then it’s bonus exhibition game.

 

[RudyVerse]

Today couldn’t have gone better. If Indiana wins, giant cherry on top. I’m going to buy some new sheets.

They would just flip ND and Miami and do nothing else. Not likely but certainly possible. Would be odd but after last week idk

EVILLEIRISH simply CRASHINGGG OUTTTT right now, in his mom’s basement !

I don’t think it’s that complicated. You move both down 0 spots (Bama in), 1 spot (Bama in) or both down 2 spots (Bama out)

Bring me Oklahoma

No chance ND gets left out.

What should happen: ND and Miami both in. Dogshit Bama out.

What will happen: ND and Bama swap positions. Preserve buffer against Miami.

 

[MPClinton22]

We should get a home game

 

[stlnd01]

This outcome will really test the "don't punish for losing a CCG" precedent. Last year's CCGs were all very close. This one wasn't close at all. If you don't dock Bama for a loss like this, do the games even matter? If you don't, why play them?

 

[FDNYIrish1]

Hate that it’s either or. ND and Miami both deserve to be in. Bama and BYU are dogshit.

If they don't matter at all, the rankings should be set before they are played, and the CCGs only determine auto-bids.

Not to mention, losing teams were 11-1, then 11-2 last year. Not the case now.

 

[IrelandIrish]

Has Ty Simpson been invited to the heisman show. He really Is bad

 

[SDIrishFan]

Also, you greedy ass conferences wanted these conference games. You made this bed for a cash grab. Now that you lost, you can’t say they don’t mean anything or shouldn’t count.

Oh btw, it was your 12th data point with that FCS game.

 

[EvilleIrish]

Sorry boys. Got caught up. Up to -1200 on FanDuel.

 

[NDty9]

Herbstreit WHATTTT?? “ Now the committee has to decide between Alabama, Miami and Notre Dame … and I think Miami gets the edge, so it comes down to Alabama and Notre Dame”

Ummm WHATTT???

 

[NDFAN2008]

-1200 we are in

 

[Junkhead]

Herbstreit WHATTTT?? “ Now the committee has to decide between Alabama, Miami and Notre Dame … and I think Miami gets the edge, so it comes down to Alabama and Notre Dame”

Ummm WHATTT???

He hates ND and isn't doing a very good job at hiding it. Fuck him.

RESPECT TO MARK INGRAM. STRAIGHT UP.
