Playoff Picture

[Irish#1]

Absolutely love BK (and ND) swinging the hammer here.

Also, would be the most 2020 thing ever for us to qualify for the playoff and then refuse to play it lol

The outrage from the haters would be incredible.

 

[dublinirish]

all the BigTen/Michigan fans hangry about BK pissing on the Rose Bowl today is glorious

 

[Sureal]

I love Kelly for this. Let the haters hate. He's there for the guys on his team.

 

[dublinirish]

The Colts are getting 10K fans in the door this sunday for their game.

Move the Rose Bowl to Indy..simple fix

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

I love nothing more than seeing BK swing at someone/something like this. LOVE it

With that being said, watch ND lose by 1 point and the NCAA drops ND to 13th.

"How dareth they judgeth us!"

 

[Irish#1]

Dan Patrick spoke to someone "in the know". Said ND is in unless they lose by more to Clemson than A&M did to Alabama.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

move the Rose Bowl to Frisco, TX

FORD. FIELD. I'm breaking in by any means possible if they do.

In all seriousness, if it's moved to Indy, that would be too hard to pass up. 4.5 hours drive or so, Book it.

move the Rose Bowl to Frisco, TX

I’d be ok with this! I’m in McKinney!!

Even then I don't see it. We beet a playoff team, they didn't.

28 point margin? jesus

 

[rtrn2glory]

28 point margin? jesus

someone has mentioned it before...if we lose by that much I don't want to get in and be Bama's sacrificial lamb.

Dabo and BK are on the same page:

Lol I would love to see ND say Nah we good. And pass up the playoffs. Shame for the kids who busted their ass but it would be the ultimate in arrogance.

ONLY if its following a second win over Clemson. Schedule your own game with an undefeated USC, end the year 12-0. Dismantle the legitimacy of the CFP.

 

[phillyirish]

At this point, I don’t want in.

Unfortunately I still don’t see the committee leaving us out, which means a potential all time beat down against Bama. ND and A&M both will have the bad loss vs a top 2 team, except we also have a win against them too. Reasonably, recency bias is the only argument they will have on us.

If we don’t make it, what are we looking at? Orange Bowl against Florida?

My best guess for the playoffs is...

1. Bama
2. Clemson
3. OSU
4. ND

I don't really think the committee puts A&M in at #4 over ND. They aren't as good as you guys and I think that even with today's game, you're still likely in.

 

[calvegas04]

I think that last TD kept ND in

 

[ThePiombino]

ND laid an egg tonight, but we still have the best win of the season with only one loss. Have to think we're in. I shudder at the thought...

Out due to "eye test."

If they put A&M in they’ll move them up to #3 and say it was a combination of how they looked vs UT and Ohio State struggling. The real reason would be avoid a Bama/A&M rematch. I’d give Cincy a shot if they win tonight. Why not.

 

[tko]

Please God

I'm telling you this will be their reasoning.

 

[rtrn2glory]

I'm telling you this will be their reasoning.

I hope you are right...I don't want to play again

 

[Rudy89]

Can we just stop this season? A loss in the playoffs or to Florida will do more harm than good. That being said of course we will accept lose by 3-6 scores then continue to be a laughingstock to college football as a whole. It’s been our MO for the last 20 years.

 

[SaltyND24]

Need Alabama to boat race Florida...a close game and Texas A&M for sure gets in...but call me crazy, mac Jones isn't a threat with his legs so the option game that gashed us today isn't an issue. We lose to Bama but I don't think it would be by any more than what happened today.

You're crazy.

 

[Irish YJ]

why is it that OSU, Bama, and Clemson's WRs are sooooo wide open.

i know FL's D isn't great, but Bama and Florida WRs seem to be running open at times.

 

[notredomer23]

Hard to be positive after today, but pretty sure ND is as close to a lock as you can have at 4.
