I felt like they wanted to expand the conversation a little bit but Tim P shut it down.

It was interesting listening to the guys on the II pod. Tim O flat out said that the person that plays the music wants to play better music but people above him won't allow it.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5889280/2024/11/01/notre-dame-college-football-playoff-path/ Some interesting tidbits in this article: Who would have thought that SMU would be an issue with ND making the CFP...

Reed looked terrible against both Bowling Green and Arkansas. He was barely over 50% completion rate in those two games and Arkansas held him in check on the ground (1.3 yards per carry). LSU made him look like an all world QB while he only attempted two passes in that half against them...

Yet Helton's record is almost identical to Lincoln's record!

Yeah, the undefeated teams that are not your usual big names could really throw a wrench in a lot of things. Indiana, BYU, Pitt, Iowa State, and even Miami being undefeated knocks out some teams that would normally get the benefit of the doubt based on name/reputation.

Take a look at how Alabama's out of state enrollment exploded during the Saban years. Their tuition increases were above the national average as well. It may not make sense for certain colleges/universities, but to simply dismiss it is not right either.

This week's OSU vs Penn State game looms large. If OSU loses for a second time, how far do they fall? Texas A&M travels to Columbia, SC to play the Gamecocks. That is gonna be a difficult task - A&M coming off a big win and USC coming off a bye. An upset here would not surprise me...

The ongoing discussion in the Texas A&M thread is interesting, but I think it needs it's own thread. The next five weeks are going to be pretty exciting and a lot can change between now and the final CFP rankings. Who will be in/out? Where will ND be ranked? What big name school(s) get left out?

It’s Pyne time in Alabama…

Interesting nugget from an article in The Athletic. We are hyper sensitive to the Irish not throwing the deep ball - here we see that the guy some IE posters wanted instead of RL having the same issue:

This is what has me a bit worried for this game. This is not the Navy of old. These numbers I posted earlier show that what they did against Memphis is their new normal. Navy is no longer the grind it out style of option - they are the high-octane wing T.

I hope you are right. I have a little concern cause Navy isn't really running the option like they have always run it. They're actually having double digit pass attempts per game this season. It's really more of a Wing T than they're old option. Our safeties won't be able to creep up as much...

Jaden Greathouse is second on the team in receptions, Aneyas Williams is averaging over 6 yards a carry while being behind two absolute studs, Cooper Flanagan was playing well prior to his injury, Freshmen and Sophomores on O-line, KK Smith starting to get more playing time, Faison is only a...

This is definitely not the usual Navy offense. I was looking at Time of Possession for the season. ND is 48th in the country and Navy is 97th. ND averages 30:49 per game and Navy averages 28:35. Also, Navy is first in the nation on Points per Play. Who would have ever thought that Navy...
