Let me view this belt doohickey from your vantage point:

ND beats Miami and loses to Stanford. Stanford loses the Jiffy Lube Oil Change Bowl in a rematch with San Diego St. while UGA beats Bama in Quadruple OT. SDSU goes undefeated next year, is left out of the CFP as 12-0 ND beats 13-0 Bama 69-0. SDSU beats undefeated Iowa who is also left out of the CFP after beating 10-3 OSU in the B!G Championship Game. SDSU remains undefeated until Game 3 of the '19 season when they are upset by the Lumberjacks of Northern Arizona. NAU finishes the year undefeated at the FCS level while ND wins it's second National Championship in a row with a 72-0 victory over previously undefeated OSU. ND is back to back National Champions with crushing victories over both Evil Empires and this really cool belt is stuck in Flagstaff, AZ.

Yep... pretty dumb.

I really hope we beat Stanford.

It doesn't start anew each season with the national champ. It goes back to the beginning of games, and the winner keeps the belt until they are beaten. At that point, that person has the belt until they lose, just like in boxing.

the last time we played for the belt was the bush push game.

Is this like the time we convinced koon that time accumulated for awesome moves in soccer during the World Cup and that games could last days due to the accumulated time?

Something doesnt smell right.

This "war" started with Jimmy Johnson pouring it on with the classlessness.

Any Miami fans whining about disrespect, you revolutionized it.

Stop crying about a T-shirt that was just that, a T-shirt.

This isn't the 80s. We don't think you're convicts.

That shit talk is just that, shit talk.

We are a diverse fanbase.

We aren't choir boys.

We only want one thing:

to kick your ass on Saturday.

WOOOOOOO!

sorry saw Rick Flair 30 for 30...did it all day at work too...

But yea...what he said...

Forgive me as I've never been to Miami. How far was the old Orange Bowl location from campus and where was it in regards to the current stadium??

Orange Bowl is closer to campus, located in Little Havana. LH, and Calle Ocho, are awesome to visit... during the day. Not so much, at night.

BREAKING NEWS:

Members of the Kennesaw State football team were randomly attacked in the dead of night by a crazed vigilante wearing what appeared to be a watermelon for a head. The athletes claimed no property stolen except the theft of one 2x4 plank of wood. Athletes heard the words "Captain Melonhead will save ya Plank!"

I would literally LMAO if after the first turnover we force, the ND player runs to the sidelines and puts the “turnover pot of gold” around their neck.

Fake news. The plank is a 1x.

I went to the ND-Colorado Orange Bowl after the 1989 season. I recall that the Orange Bowl stadium was in a bad neighborhood, but I may not be remembering correctly since it was so long ago.

To all of you arguing about the belt, something else is at stake:

https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/7b54ve/week_10_college_football_imperialism_map/

If the Irish win, they take Miami's huge swaths of land in CFB Imperialism. Currently SC is leading, if you count Alaska (I don't), so really Iowa is winning.

Beating the Canes would lead to ND dominating in numbers of population, and second behind the victor of Wisconsin/Iowa in terms of counties & area in square miles.

If we win the toss, do you take the ball or defer?

I think I defer. I like our defense against their offense more than I like our offense against their defense. I think the opening drive can set the tone for both side's offense/defense for the rest of the quarter.

On offense, do you go tempo to keep them from subbing and try to wear down their mammoth DTs?

I defer. Miami defers. Kelly will receive. We're starting this game with the ball no matter what.

No kidding, anyone who thinks that is a 2x4 needs their man card revoked. Pure awesome though - the f-ing South Park Towelie face on there with crooked eyes is just priceless.

I love CFB Imperialism

Though it confuses me, because I feel like ND should have more land than they do

It's because you must win land from other schools. Beating Miami wasn't a big deal, because they had already lost. Destroying MSU resulted in only a few extra counties. SC losing once before the rivalry game lost a lot of land for ND. Same for Stanford at the end of the year. Washington doesn't have much land right now, so even if Stanford wins out, they won't yield much to the Irish.

Yeah, guys I'm showing you all of this cool stuff to get you even more hyped for Saturday, but don't forget the most important part: getting good beer for the game. Second most important part is repping me, you ungrateful jerks

I tried for the Imperialism description, but I've gotta spread the love, and no one else is earning reps to make that happen.
