Path to the CFP?

[Free Manera]

M$U for sure... OK St.... be close IMO

I feel like ND is a terrible matchup for them. The backs will go for 225 and will be running downhill by the 4th quarter.

 

[Dizzyphil]

There is only upside in the playoff and only downside outside of the playoff for ND. If we get matched up vs Bama or UGA the narrative will not change if we lose, but if we win it will move the program forward significantly and we may potentially back our way into a title shot.

Now if we lose to MSU in some NY6 bowl? That’s a bad look because we are supposed to win that.

I really don’t see how you guys wouldn’t want in this playoff when there’s only upside and we’d be playing against teams significantly worse than the playoff teams we’ve played in past years.

THAT'S the problem... the Irish need to change the 'narrative' brother. And this is not the year. The 2012 game was on Kelly. It's a different story now. The Irish NEED Freeman to build up more. And a NY6 would be a better building block than a loss in the CFP. That's just my opinion. I respect yours....

so assuming Michigan beats Iowa I am totally on Bama. The only way this ends is for Bama to get as bored with winning as everyone else is with them winning.

I don't ..... the Irish will more effective against M$U.

According to the 'committee'.. I wouldn't be surprised if they put Baylor in the 4th spot if MeeChicken loses..... they have no idea

 

[NorthDakota]

Gotta admit, pretty baffling to see UGA do UGA things. Why am I surprised

Baylor was t'ing off on OSU all day. If they can't block Baylor what are they gonna do against an actual defense?

GA=OK.... just have to find a way to rhyme Choklahoma with Georgia

 

[ND88]

If these scores hold its:
1. Bama
2/3. Michigan/Georgia
4. Cinci

5. ND
6. Ohio State
7. Baylor
8. Ole Miss
9. Michigan State
10. Oklahoma State
11. BYU
12. Utah

Not 100% sure on 6 through 10. But likely this would mean ND vs Michigan State or Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl.

Boring outcome for us, but we should destroy either of those teams. The pressure will be on us to produce as we will be favored.

Yep... I think the Freeman hire will inspire one hell of a win whomever the Irish play in the NY6 game.

 

[Dizzyphil]

Would be f'n hi-larious if they put GA at 5 because of this ass-whoopin

 

[GATTACA!]

Thanks a lot Georgia. You fuckin suck.

 

[Rockin’Irish]

Another situation where the QB was the deciding factor

Same old. On a different note, Georgia has 19 5* kids. I wonder how many years you’d have to go back to get to ND’s last 19. Maybe Weis and Kelly combined have brought in that many.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

Does anyone have any idea the criteria for seeding the at larges in the NY6? Does the committee set the pool and the bowls “draft” their choices?

Per 247, ND has had 18 all time (I don’t know how far back it goes but the oldest is LeVoir in 2001).

If Coan could have led his receivers 4-5 times more this year... Irish would have been 12-0

 

[Dizzyphil]

also - Iowa doesn't have a chance against MeeChicken... UNLESS.. Harbaugh makes the calls.

 

[SBirishlawyer]

I have watched too much Iowa games this year to even imagine how they win

 

[ND88]

God I hope Michigan wins.... any of US nutjobs wants the Irish in the mix of the top 4 is crazy.... enthusiasm and hope won't get the Irish through the first game of the playoffs

reality brothers......

Freeman’s first game as head coach versus an Alabama that just spanked Georgia. I’d have to agree with you.

Yeah I was hoping for Wisconsin because I thought they had a much better chance here.

 

[Riddickulous]

Freeman needs to be all over every elite WR recruit we can find. Field enough of them with a good QB and you can beat anyone, even an elite defense loaded with 5* talent.

I think Wisky would win....but.................

THIS!!

 

[ND88]

Michigan got a special on those chairs at Walmart? Wtf is the significance of them? They look stupid.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

So...Orange Bowl vs. Wake/Pitt? Or Fiesta vs. MSU?

I would love to get MSU or Oregon in a bowl game. Oklahoma State is the team from the pool of possibilities I would least want to see.

Didn't realize Orange was a playoff game. So looks like it's Fiesta.

 

[NDMatt91]

Iowa SUCKS.

Iowa SUCKS.

To put it mildly. The whole Big 10 does

Don’t you dare diminish our two biggest wins of the year.
