Yeah, against a walk on lacrosse player freshman QB. That isn’t the game I was talking about. The committee used performance against common opponents as a metric in the decision. They referenced how Miami fared equal to ND in those games. We could have beat Pitt and Stanford by 40+ easily if...

Two things I took away from this unfortunate experience. 1st: We need to be more cut throat in the second half of blow outs next year if we’re on the bubble. It was obvious to me that over the last month of the season Miami realized they could create a talking point against us by running up the...

Sorry for any confusion. I deleted my post because I saw Dale had already posted the Ross tweet. Here it is again for context:

Not a surprise since they achieved their position and media position based on merit and being world class at their craft (playing college football). Unfortunately morons like Hunter Yuracheck who have likely never done an impressive athletic achievement in their life make these decisions that...

I would always say with my buddies that ND needed to go undefeated to make the (4) team playoff. I was sort of right about that (minus the ACC title loss during the COVID year). My new talking point to the guys was that it would be very hard for ND to make the new format with (2) losses. I...

Yeah, looks like they will close likely around 40th- 45th range in FPI. Probably won’t move the needle at all, but certainly better to the alternative of them losing tonight. You would hope that the committee may factor in the Madsen injury to thier overall record, but it likely won’t matter...

It's been a long week. The best ND team of my lifetime may be left out of playing for a title so teams like JMU, North Texas, Tulane and Duke or Virginia can get a participation trophy. I need Sunday to just get here. My bad.

I was responding to his question. If BYU wins, you best believe our only option at making it is Alabama losing by (10+) or the Simpson injury scenario that I laid out. Sorry if not clear. Obviously, if BYU wins things are looking dire.

If BYU pulls off the upset, you best believe that is our only option to still make it. We would need either a Alabama close lose with a Ty Simpson season ending injury (like Carson Beck last year), or for them to lose by preferably (3) scores. Even then it would be incredibly unlikely. The...

In the next ten days we may see Indiana football named the unanimous number one team in the country, and the Vanderbilt QB win the Heisman. The sport has its flaws, but man that is absolutely incredible. For too many years this sport was ruined by insane levels of competitive imbalance because...

I think the trepidation I personally have is this isn't a game where Vegas power rankings create a line, so betting odds have less meaning in my opinion. I've heard plenty of smart Vegas people say Sportsbook hate putting up odds for NFL Draft picks for similar reason, because there is no exact...

It seems like Shrews agrees with you. If Mohammed's minutes continue in this pattern I wouldn't be shocked if he leaves the program before the season ends. Son of an NBA player, five star recruit. He isn't here to play (5) minutes a game. He is unplayable right now though, so props to Coach...

Props to the boys responding in the second half last night. Best win of the Shrews era in my opinion. Still a ways to go for them to get into the tournament discussion, but hopefully Missouri stays good and we can count that as a Q2 win come March. Have to eat crow on Braeden so far this...

Yeah, this is what gives me a good amount of hope on the BYU lose and ND in scenario. Vegas wouldn't be making the ND NO line so juiced if they felt the debate between Miami and ND was very close in the committees eyes. It would be closer to like +200 for instance, and not almost exactly...

It’s a tournament where we need to win (4) games in a row. Seeding and the path to a championship is the most important thing that we personally cannot control anymore. The #10 seed is a way easier path than #8-#9 seed in my opinion.

I want to share your optimism, but if you think the head to head result is being talked about ad nasuem now. Give it another week It’s going to take some guts for the committee to rank ND over Miami in the final ranking if BYU loses, and the final spot comes down to it. No reason to rehash the...

Honestly, not that overly upset about it. #10 spot is a cleaner path to title game then #8 or #9. Likely (7) seed is A&M or Ole Miss. We will be at minimum a 2 point road favorite against either team. Plus we get Indiana as likely (3) seed if they lose to Ohio State. Also, likely avoid being on...

Yeah, this right here is how I feel. On top of the fact that ND is strongly respected by Saragin (2nd) & other respected power metric names in the business have them rated top 7 at worst. The entire idea of the committee is to have educated football minds making the decisions who can look at...

They will certainly consider it, but man Ole Miss may burn this whole thing down if they do it. It would take some major stones to do, and I would personally be shocked. The chair basically already gave themselves an out by saying the reason FSU was so strongly impacted, is because Travis...

I’m certainly excited to find out!
