2016 What Ifs

[Legacy]

This may be opening a Pandora's box for all kinds of what ifs, but....

What if Central Michigan did not get an extra play and Oklahoma State won that game? They would have gone into Bedlam with an 11-1 record, ranked in the top 7 and been in the conversation for the Playoff.

She'd be my uncle.

College Football Regular Season only.

What if Prince would have delayed his last concert in Atlanta even more to recover? His last show here was incredible, and he didn't seem sick or have flu like symptoms,,,,,,, but I wish he would stayed in MN and got some help.

RIP Purple One

What if my aunt had a penis?

She'd be my uncle.

But only if she self identified as a man.

What if instead of being Entitled to be President and playing concert with Jay Z, Beyonce, The Boss, Lady Gaga, and Bon Jovi, Hillary actually went to a Michigan college campus, a Union Hall, or a African American church to meet Democratic constituents like Bernie did?

Bill would be FLOTUS Elect!

But doing all that stuff is for the poors.

What if Michigan didn't lose to Iowa?

OSU, Michigan, PSU would be in a three-way tie, and OSU would go to the B1G Championship against Wisconsin.

Even assuming OSU wins, does 11-1 Michigan get in over 12-1 Washington?

Michigan has wins over PSU, Wisconsin, Colorado and only a OT loss at OSU.

Washington with wins over Colorado, Stanford, Utah and a loss by 13 at home to USC.

I'm sure they would take close looks at both playing Colorado and Rutgers. I think Washington still goes in the end.

I think Washington as well, but I think Michigan would have the better argument.

What if the Irish didn't lose eight games this year?

What if BK had fired BVG last year?

What if the academic guidelines for football players was lowered?

What if that hot girl working here, oh never mind.

This is it for me.

I'd also throw in what if Max Redfield wasn't a dumbass?

 

[Irishize]

What if Kelly had never hired BVG?

What if ND could actually sign, keep eligible & retain elite pass rushers?

What if Kelly/Denbrock/Sanford (whoever called the plays) committed to establishing the run & winning the trenches?

What if Kelly had named Kizer the starting QB before the UT game?

What if the Longhorn DB who concussed TH3 was actually flagged for targeting?

What if the VT defense been flagged for targeting on at least one of the two times they hit a defenseless Kizer in the head?

What if ND could've actually solved Navy's triple option? They seem to be one of the only P5 schools who struggle with it. Granted, they're also one of the few P5 schools that will play Navy.

What if ND ST didn't turn the ball over multiple times on insane plays?

What if ND didn't give up a TD to Duke's backup kick returner?

IDK. WA did beat Colorado worse, and beat the at CO while Michigan's win was at home.

Don't you pigeon hole her like that!! She'd be free to identify as whatever gender she was comfortable with, or no gender at all!!

Washington's win of Colorado was in the Pac-12 Championship game. Not at Colorado.

My bad. OK, on a neutral field. But still better than Michigan's win at Michigan.

Michigan only pulled away after Colorado's QB left the game.

In today's society, the above isn't correct. Maybe she would identify as a 'she' even with a penis.

What if..............................Colorado's QB never got hurt that game

The 12 plays that shaped college football’s entire 2016 season

The Clemson ones are noteworthy to me.

I think the answer to most of those questions would simply be that we would have won or had a better chance to win that particular game. Good questions bro.

It's funny that Clemson and Notre Dame basically had the same season... except Clemson got every break/call, and Notre Dame got none.

Seriously, taking those moments from the article at face value, Clemson is 5-7 with "Notre Dame luck."

 

[Booslum31]

What if a frog had wings? It wouldn't bump it's ass when it jumped.

 

[ulukinatme]

What if we didn't self report the Frozen Five incident?

What if Manti was never catfished and he went into that Championship game with his head straight (Ok, we still lose that one).

What if we focused more on our running game in the off season instead of putting our eggs in the passing game basket? How would a strong, consistent running game affect our offense in games like against NC State, and what would it have done to the QB battle?

What if Max Redfield had matured and been a responsible upperclassmen and leader?

What if Will and Jaylon stayed another year? That could have had some big ramifications. Even if Jaylon wasn't 100% he probably would have played part of the year in college even though he sat out his first year in the NFL.

What if Brent had switched to Safety in the off season? For Koon.

What if the defense didn't abandon the pre-game Joe Schdmit scream?

I'm not going to do a "What if" for BVG getting fired at the end of 2015 as others have said. IMO he deserved to see 2016 given the number of injuries we ended with in 2014 and 2015, but when 2016 wasn't looking good with a healthy roster it was obviously time to make a change.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

What if ND won enough games to be in a flyover state bowl, giving everyone a reason to get drunk on a Tuesday at 1pm?

What if I told you that this year's Bama team is by far my least favorite? What if I told you that I don't care for J. Hurts and his style of play? What if I told you I would not be disappointed if Bama loses in the title game? Nothing against the majority of the players on this year's team. They are some really good ones. But I don't care for how some of them represent themselves. They all aren't Eddie Jackson for sure.
