Arkansas Postgame

10-2 with two losses to ranked teams by a total of four points will get Notre Dame into a 12 team playoff. It might not be a home game, but they’ll be in.

 

[stlnd01]

Yeah, 10-2 - with 10 straight wins and the losses by a combined four points - probably gets in. We likely wouldn’t host but we would make the field.
Would be really good for us if Miami is good bc it doesn’t appear anyone else on our schedule will be. (A&M might be decent but)

Looking back historically, I don't really see how a 10-2 ND gets left out. We'd probably be an 11/12 seed but I have a hard time seeing us getting left out. Especially if Miami and A&M continue winning.

Historically it is very rare for 2 loss teams to be outside of the Top 12. Our biggest issue/risk is that we may have no ranked teams left on the schedule and there could be a 3 loss team that jumps us.

Boise and USC have really fucked us.

That's why we need Miami and and A&M to continue winning. Hate to use the good loss argument but it's the reality we're in now.

Yes. Could turn out that the only loses are to top 8ish teams though.

 

[Riddickulous]

Hilariously loud boos on the Price TD to close the half

Oline was awesome again.

RBs are generational. A shame MD had that gameplan against Miami.

Faison is the man

Team is a top ten team. A shame Swarbrick put this schedule together. No doubt in mind if we had a warmup or 2, they beat 1/2 if not both Miami/AM

Let's not blame usc and Boise, we aren't in this situation because of them

Losing to A&M is what really fucked us. They're not that good, but they could go 10-2 with the schedule they have, in which case they get in before us. Hell they could go 9-3 and it would become an interesting conversation.

It'd also be interesting to see what happens if there's a team at 10-3 with the third loss being a conference title game. Last year those losses basically didn't count against teams.

It's a shame the defense didn't hold onto those easy picks in the end zone vs both teams.
I feel pretty confident this team will take huge strides every week and be a monster by November.

Also, can UA please fix the golden boys jersey sleeves?

This is the team that I thought would show up week one.

Our OL finally looks like they are gelling and getting better with regard to knowing their assignments. I think a big reason we all heard the defense was great, and the coaches thought the DL wasost improved, is because they thought our OL was elite. And we saw week 1 that they were anything but giving the D a false sense of security. But now they are starting to look like what we thought they would.

The receivers all are running great routes and getting open. Great blocking to boot. I've been very impressed with Faison.

RBs are showing out. And with the OL improving, they will only continue to explode.

Carr is better than advertised and everything we have wanted in a QB since Quinn/Clausen.

The offense as a whole has to be making DCs think to themselves, "how the heck do you stop this team?"

Defensively, this is what I had expected at the start of the year. Fast. Physical. Making everything a little difficult/uncomfortable. Hopefully this is a spring board that they can grow off of.

The sad thing is, I expected the team to look like this week 1. Not have to wait till week 5. The team on the field today would have beaten Miami or A&M. I just hope they come out with the same sense of urgency, energy, and confidence like they did today for every game the rest of the season. If so, watch out.

If ND blows everyone’s doors off like this the rest of the way they’re getting in. A 10-2 ND team that rattled off 10 straight has a lot of built in excuses. Really tough early schedule while breaking in a new QB (even though he wasn’t the issue, the media will still say this). Only lost by 4 total points. New DC and the learning curve that came with it.

It’s all about not dropping a stupid game to Pitt or somebody now.

Don't forget the absolutely bullshit missed tackle on Hinish at the end of A&M.

As long as we repay them with a beatdown.

I didn’t know you identified as female.

 

[NDRock]

I'd be fired up for 10-2 at this point but I will not be pounding the table if we get left out. You lose to the only two good teams on your schedule, you don't have a right to complain. We'll see how it all plays out.

 

[sfk324]

Stop with the "oh noes we're 10-2! We won't get in!" nonsense. If we go 10-2 winning 10 straight and losing by 4 to teams that spent time in the Top 10 (phrased with the caveat in mind that even at the end of the season maybe one or both aren't) there is 0% chance we aren't in the playoff having made the championship game last year under similar circumstances.

Some of you really need a diaper change.

This is garbage. It could easily happen. 0% ? Utterly ridiculous.

 

[sfk324]

Also, it's quite telling that we are 3+ hours post game and we are only on page 3. We're not NDN levels of hate watchers, but...yeah.

It absolutely would not happen. But keep concern trolling.

If they manage to go 10-2 I think they'll get in for a couple of reasons. 1. ND draws eyeballs and ESPN helps decide who makes it. 2. Ten in a row to end it will help with the "best team right now" argument people were using for South Carolina last year. 3. The two losses will have been by a combined 4 points while they adjusted to new QB/new DC. 4. The fact they were the runner up last year will give them a benefit of the doubt the program would not have had in years past

 

[ACamp1900]

If they win out it’ll have to be a crazy scenario for ND to be left out and if that happens no complaints. I’m almost certain we won’t have to worry about it

 

[sfk324]

Even national media realizes how bad this beating was. It's so weird how some of you go from "we might lose to Arkansas, that's a tough game" to "meh, we won by 43 but they suck." Have at least a modicum of consistency.
