2024 College Football Playoffs

But are you gonna punish ND for scheduling FSU,USC,Louisville when they were all ranked. And then the shit the bed. It’s not the schools fault for trying.

Kirk made a great point use one group to schedule all the teams season.

More beaucracy is not the answer …. Something something. 😂

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

If we beat IU, I think we may be favored against Georgia

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Watts was the1st guy I thought of with the matchup.

In Golden I trust. I honestly hope Beck is starting. If we beat Indiana and Beck is starting he is so prone to turnovers against complex defenses.

 

[BeauBenken]

Obnoxious that they pair us with the one team who we don't get a distinct home field advantage due to climate.

Also the auto bye for conference champs is just weird. At first glance, it makes sense to promote the conference championships, but when you get some of the lesser teams like Boise State getting a bye in the first round you just have to wonder whose dumbass Idea that was.

Clemson is eating Dominos?

Cheap asses.

You would think with not taking transfer portal players they could at least upgrade to PapaJohns

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Are people actually surprised that we're the 7th seed? They were never going to punish Texas and PSU for barely losing their Conference Championship games and move them behind us.

According to last night’s adamant posts that PSU would drop below ND after their 2nd loss…yes there is probably some surprise.

There's gotta be a local pizza joint that would shell out pizzas for the boys..

Preserves potentially easy second round wins for the big conferences.

They did that before the PAC imploded. It will change in short order but made more sense at the time.

Careful.
Apparently there's A LOT of Dominos Stans here...

 

[PolishDomer]

NIU wasn't bad team...they finished 7-5...had close losses...

They finished #20 in rush defense with 111 yards per game

It's the Big Ten protection plan. Computers should make these decisions.

Right it’s not like someone was telling them ND would be 6-8. 😂

Warde Manuel wearing the ND gold tie with the blue suit. We know where heart lies Warde🤣🤣🤣

That man needs a salad.
Jaw lines are good.

 

[IrishTusker]

Oregon also has a tougher path to the semifinals than PSU despite beating them yesterday (and covering).

 

[Huntr]

Manuel saying they value SoS is a ding on ND, as well.

There's no 1 factor, but it all matters.

No CCG means ND really has to work on the other factors, and SoS is one of them.

 

[irishandy]

It's too bad ND can't take advantage of the cold vs a warm-weather team.

That's the only disadvantage I see. Indiana and UGA both beatable.

I agree IU and Georgia are both beatable. IU exceeded expectations this season and came out of nowhere, besides Ohio St. ND will be their toughest opponent. Georgia is not the same Georgia this year as previous years.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

The bracket needs to go.
Lowest seed plays the highest each round.

 

[irishnd31]

They are poors

 

[tussin]

ND can win this thing. Not the best seeding scenario, but they should be able to take down Indiana and give Georgia a run. If we can somehow get past Georgia then it’s all upside from there.

Off topic… Texas is terrible. No clue how they are getting so much respect.

If someone finds the video of cignetti trashing ND please post it.

Beat IU. Nothing else matters today, tomorrow, or any day until that game is over.

We were as high as +750 yesterday.

Nobody thinks we can beat Georgia clearly.

I do, and you better also.

Current title odds:

The gap between PSU and ND is simply because of the path, I assume. All the advanced stats put ND ahead of PSU.

Although whoever wins the championship is probably going to have to either beat Georgia or a team that beat Georgia.

Neither Georgia nor Texas were impressive yesterday. The SEC stinks.

We had 5th best odds yesterday, above PSU, before the seedings.

Really wish we would've got that 6 seed, but that's our own damn fault.

As a born and raised hoosier, ND and IU are equal loves in my book. However, they are at the complete opposite end of the spectrum regarding CFP program status, so never thought id be put in this situation, ever. I literally thought it was impossible.

I told some folks after IU crushed UCLA that if the impossible happened and IU and ND were matched up in the playoffs, that I'd have to root IU since it would mean more for their program's future. Now, i have to eat those words.

I do the same with supporting ND bb when they play IU bb, so think it's fair to return the favor in CFB.

I think ND wins convincingly. And honestly, don't really want IU to win cause they don't have much of a chance against UGA, but here we are.

I'm just damn proud of the state of Indiana today. Its the only other state with 2 teams in the playoffs besides Texas. Hell, Florida has none!

Combine that with Purdue being the worst they've ever been, and you have one happy CFB fan.

See yall in a couple of weeks! And Go Irish (if they beat the Hoosiers)!

 

[MPClinton22]

They are way better off without Beck and Indiana is much better than Boise, and probably better than ASU/Clemson/SMU

I would just lump them in with those last 3 - they're easily in that lower tier of teams in the field
