2025 College Football Playoffs

[Bluto]

The thing that jumps off the page the most in this game for me is that ND’s top three running backs look far and away better than any of the backs I’m seeing today from Miami and AtM.

How did we lose to these ass teams?

 

[T-Boone]

these first 4 teams have been a great advertisement for instead picking in form teams who have worked on getting execution right through the season.

 

[IrishTusker]

We gave up 41 points to this team, at home. Weep. Lol.

 

[ColinKSU]

There’s a meme of a YouTube video title with two guys fighting that I want to use to describe this game, but that’d probably get me banned. You know the one.

It really shows how actually good our offense was with the points we put up weeks 1/2.

It really shows how abysmal our defense was with the points we allowed weeks 1/2.

Fucking Bama fans…lol.

I'm on my way back home from the playoff game.

Lmao. Well played.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Well the bad news news is neither team wants to win this game.


I guess the good news is someone has to.

ESPN and the committee don't like getting punked. Hopefully they take form into consideration moving forward

 

[MacIrish75]

The hard thing just turning these games on and trying to watch as a fan of football is that it just reaffirms for me that we could have run a damn train on 75% of these teams.

ND should pay for a plane to fly a sign above College Station saying:

"this is putrid, form and a 10-game winning streak means something."

The selection is mostly about money. Not team quality.

Idk there really was zero argument for ND over A&M

Except this

I can't agree with that entirely. ND would be a bigger draw than Oklahoma or Miami.

 

[NorthDakota]

You want the committee to have said "actually Notre Dame beat TAMU"?

 

[IrishTusker]

After the game, I considered the A&M loss the worst I've seen since following ND (2013). The playoff sub + this performance confirm that.

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

Is it really 3-0 in the 4Q? Lol

 

[MacIrish75]

Is it really 3-0 in the 4Q? Lol

Pitcher's duel.

 

[Bluto]

I can't agree with that entirely. ND would be a bigger draw than Oklahoma or Miami.

It’s about ND not having to share any money. Last year ND cleared 20 mill with no revenue share. Thats what it’s about.

Actually, keep your eyes on the road. WTF. lol.

 

[MacIrish75]

I refuse to get too invested in this game, but 3 for Miami has been absolutely abusing the aTm LT for the entire second half.

 

[IrishTusker]

Yes, but I think the selection is at least in part about distributing money to conferences. This year, no Miami meant no money for ACC teams. And if ND played OU (or Alabama) and won, that's only one check for the SEC (from that part of the bracket). Or, if ND lost, that's two checks. By contrast, putting a second SEC team in that spot means three checks (one for each team plus one for the next round, since one of them will win).

Of course not! That would be ridiculous. It's 3-3... 😉

This is correct

I have a feeling Texas A&M when’s this game 17 to 3

Based on what? Have you watched any of this game? 🤣

 

[Bluto]

I have a feeling Texas A&M when’s this game 17 to 3

I’m going with 5-3. Game winning safety in overtime.

 

[T-Boone]

We still have Ole Miss v Tulane to come. This is painful.
