    It's a really great argument. And he doesn't even get to the part where Oklahoma didn't deserve to be ahead of ND either.

    SEC Open Thread

    Also started very suddenly. SEC was very average for most of its history, but suddenly something changed around 2007 for some reason that just elevated the entire conference.

    Marcus Freeman named Dick Corbett Head Football Coach

    He failed in the NFL because he had asymmetric advantages at certain schools, without which he was average

    The Pete Bevacqua Thread

    I really hate the AQ idea. The whole concept. Conferences just suck. Especially the SEC for accelerating the destruction of the sport.

    Does Notre Dame make the CFP?

    I think this is what it will look like

    Does Notre Dame make the CFP?

    I'm hoping they adjust Oklahoma's best win for the fact that Alabama sucks and the Sooners (or Hurricanes) come to South Bend

    I think all the controversy was to set us up to host Miami

    2025 WATCH PARTY: NOTRE DAME IS INDEPENDENT, CRY MORE

    I don't understand this. There's an argument for Miami. Alabama got blown out multiple times this year, once by a team that isn't even bowl eligible. If it's between these two teams, where's the debate?

    If people believe that the conference's championship process is inadequate, then maybe the conference should fix that. Or maybe teams should choose not to be in megaconferences. I'm just against the idea of having your cake and eating it too. Not winning your conference has to mean something.

    2025 WATCH PARTY: NOTRE DAME IS INDEPENDENT, CRY MORE

    I don't just mean losing the championship game. I mean, if you choose to be in a conference, and you aren't the best team in that conference, then you definitely aren't the best team in the country and there's no reason to consider you for a playoff. No one's penalizing success.

    There should be a rule that failing to win your conference championship means exclusion. Winning doesn't guarantee anything, but losing a conference championship guarantees that you're definitely not the best of your region, let alone the nation.

    Does Notre Dame make the CFP?

    It seems like they're going about this the wrong way. I'd make a rule that excludes conference teams that fail to win their conference, because they have proven that they aren't the best team in their region, let alone the country. Keep it to 6 teams, no autobids.

    Thank goodness they're saving a spot for a bad G5 team and five spots for the SEC.

    Update: LSU over Oklahoma would put us against Alabama then against OSU

    USC recruiting and everything else

    I didn't get to see ND bear USC my entire time in school. We've reached levels of schadenfreude I didn't know were possible.

    '24 MI QB CJ Carr (Notre Dame Signee)

    My son is three. This made me cry at work. Warning for the rest of you.
