Arkansas Postgame

[SportsingHard]

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.

I basically agree. Given the timing of the losses, the point differerentials, the fact that they came, at worst, to two pretty decent teams, and more, I put it around 1% that 10-2 ND gets excluded.

Every year, the entire sport’s fan/media complex spends October and the first half of November debating playoff scenarios as if every team will win all the games they’re supposed to, and that never ever ever happens, because college football.

If we’re the team that wins every game we’re supposed to, we will be just fine.

 

[T-Boone]

It absolutely would not happen. But keep concern trolling.

You are looney certainty trolling. 0% chance? FFS.

 

[GowerND11]

Happy for Ty Washington. That's gotta feel good.

Gotta say, I’ve been pleased with him. He hasn’t done much yet, but… yeah he’s a good TE2

Show me a sports book where I can place the bet on 10-2 ND getting in and I will.

Fanduel will have CFP odds tomorrow. They update them weekly.

I think they were around +200 as of yesterday.

If this team wins out in dominant fashion they’re in. Money talks. If you told me the reason we lost two games was our defense and not our first year starting qb I wouldn’t have believed you. The way we played that 4th and 9, more of that please.

10-2 ND doesn’t get left out.

Too many storylines and too many eyeballs for the playoff to pass up.

ND as your TWELVE seed, drawing a game more watched than any other first round game?? They aren’t getting left out.

The rest of college football internet might melt, but the powerbrokers aren’t stupid.

OSU got a home game at 10-2.
Let's see how the season plays out. I'm expecting a lot of losses for everyone.

How bout we get to 3-2 and talk about this week to week…

I get your point, but OSU also had some quality wins to hang their hat on late in the year.

ND isn’t gonna have that luxury, unfortunately

Why can’t fans look ahead? lol we aren’t on the team the same rules don’t apply to us

Look, I’m drinking Sam Adams OctoberFest and I’ve got an unopened 1.75L bottle of Basil Hayden about to be cracked. Trying to keep it real.

Try the Blue Point Oktoberfest. Brewery right down the block, it’s really good.

 

[FDNYIrish1]

I do feel bad for Pittman. Him and Napier seemed like genuinely nice guys on that Netflix special. They’ll both land on their feet I’m sure. Still sucks

Octoberfest is my favorite time of the beer year. So many good options.

Start the Carr Faison!

I can't put into words how happy it makes me for ND to have two #1 RBs and they are so unselfish and proud of each others accomplishments.

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.

In reality ND fucked theirselves but losing to at least A&M

 

[jpachuta33]

Love the 10-2 optimism, but don’t forget Chris Ash is our DC… Let’s focus on beating Boise State fellas.

Kills me too that the bogus targeting against Shuler ended up playing such a huge role in both losses

 

[T-Boone]

I could easily see SEC getting 5 teams in maybe 6. Bama, Georgia, TAM, Texas, LSU, Ole Miss.
Easily 3 from Big: Penn, Oregon, OSU maybe Michigan.
Then Miami, Big12 winner.
It isnt going to be easy. Need big upsets like last season.

Is this Chris Ass?

Deep zone go brrrrrrrrr

That's not the situation I outlined. I said 10-2 Notre Dame gets in. Not that we are 100% getting in. Those are two different things.
