2025 WATCH PARTY: NOTRE DAME IS INDEPENDENT, CRY MORE

[2013Irish]

I fucking hate talking heads, not the group, love them. They are the most pointless over paid people in media and are totally pointless. Ok, anyone else want my soapbox. 😂

It does appear that the committee largely ignores them.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Any other ND fans hoping OSU wins by 100

I want whatever puts IU in our bracket.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Nah bruh. Fowler says Bama came up short tonight.

The courage AL displayed tonight in a valiant 28-7 loss matches our troops storming Normandy.

 

[ACamp1900]

I can understand how one may argue a loss in a ccg shouldnt keep you out of the playoffs, but this wasnt a loss, Bama got their ass beat down.

I don’t,… if you credit for winning then you take a hit for losing. Period

 

[NDPhilly]

We need to be rooting hard for IU tn. OSU would likely be the round 2 matchup at #1 if we get the 8/9 spot with a win

 

[IAIrish]

If yall need a much needed ESPN break, flip over to Fox for the Big 10 Championship pregame. All are saying Bama is out and ND/Miami are in. Very refreshing break from ESPN/SEC dong being jammed in Fowler/Herbstreits mouth

Even Mark Ingram agreed bama is out. Brady his usual well spoken self framing the Irish as IN!

Honestly? Fuck it. ND beats OSU at the Rose Bowl

 

[zelezo vlk]

Does anyone else think Virginia embarrasses Duke?

Agreed, I don’t think there’s anyway we get the seven. IMHO

 

[Bane]

At the end of the day (assuming UVA wins) - nothing that happened yesterday or today even remotely hurt ND...so dropping them now would be inexcusable. If anything Boise State winning helped.

Yeah, for the first time in weeks everything has broken our way.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Howdy Doody vs OSU.

I’m rooting for IU, but we HAVE to beat Ohio at some point. Have to exorcise that demon. I don’t want to avoid them.

 

[IrishinSyria]

I can understand how one may argue a loss in a ccg shouldnt keep you out of the playoffs, but this wasnt a loss, Bama got their ass beat down.

Right…I’m all on board for the idea that there should be more upside than downside for these but they can’t be literally 0 downside.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

I can understand how one may argue a loss in a ccg shouldnt keep you out of the playoffs, but this wasnt a loss, Bama got their ass beat down.

It’s simple. They played each other 10 weeks ago & Bama beat them in Athens. Excellent. Then today happened and proved one team improved over 10 weeks and one team got worse. They were non-competitive.

 

[KPENN]

Lol

 

[ndfanatic78]

It does appear that the committee largely ignores them.

Truth, they just annoy the hell out of me and make millions saying useless crap.

 

[IrishLax]

Honestly? Fuck it. ND beats OSU at the Rose Bowl

Yeah I'd love to get Ole Miss round 1 and Georgia round 2 but also whatever draw we get I DGAF you eventually got to beat the best to be the best.

 

[Bane]

We need to be rooting hard for IU tn.

I've sacrificed enough of my own personal ethics for ND, fuck.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Herbie saying Miami in, so it's between Bama and ND. Holy shit, that's corrupt AF. ND's data point improved with Boise's win last night. Miami's didn't improve at all. Yurachek said Bama and ND were EXTREMELY close. In what world should Bama fall behind Miami but not ND?

I'm not saying the committee won't do it, but the blatant bullshit framing is beyond shameful.

Herbie covered his tracks & stressed he didn’t know anything & it was his opinion but Fowler was nauseating. He talked about how we “work in the SEC” & acknowledged B1G has some good teams at the top but the SEC, week in/week out is sooooo much tougher. Then he had the nerve to say “that’s not bias, that’s the truth”. How can he watch other teams when he’s doing SEC games most of the season? How come he doesn’t factor in travel since the SEC never has to travel outside their footprint? Has he truly watched SEC juggernauts like South Carolina, Kentucky, Arkansas, Florida, MSU, Auburn? Are you fucking kidding me?

OSU lost to UM last year and because of that they became unbeaten It's hard to root for osu or iu. just don't want OSU to have more growth from a loss when we see them in the playoff

 

[IRISHDODGER]

How about the disparity in opinions between ESPN & FOX after Bama got blasted? Fowler & Herbie trying to save face for Bama b/c they played in a CCG (well they showed up…I wouldn’t say the ‘played’). And then the guys at Fox all seemed to be on the same page (including Bama alum) in dropping Bama & BYU in favor of Miami & ND. When two networks are that far apart & one of the two actually has a stake in the SEC it’s about as Pravda as you get for sports.

 

[OrlaNDomer]

Assuming we’re the 9, wouldn’t we want Indiana to win to give us IU in round 2? Makes the most sense to me.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Day has some great genes. Eye bags and wrinkles of a 60 year old, but not a spec of gray.

 

[T-Boone]

Yeah the logic that you cannot ignore NDs week 1 (it is paramount) but you can ignore this Bama game is hard to comprehend.

 

[thekid33]

I don't care who wins the B1G game. I just want them to beat the shit out of each other.

 

[Irishdawg]

If IU gets blown out any chance they drop to 4?

 

[bkess8]

Fox pregame sucks and what is worse is we have to listen to Gus Johnson.

 

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

If IU gets blown out any chance they drop to 4?

Since everyone is calling for that, I don’t think so. That is expected.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Now we need a 3-0 final score so Love wins the Heisman!

 

[LifelongFan]

We need to be rooting hard for IU tn. OSU would likely be the round 2 matchup at #1 if we get the 8/9 spot with a win

I'm thinking now we are going to be 10 and Miami will be 9.
