Notre Dame should be in over Bama

Bama has played terrible the last month. What about the eye test?

 

[GVol1966]

This is the end of the current format. Expansion to 16 teams is coming soon.

And we will see the same ole BS arguments, just about who should be 15,16 and who gets left out

Eye test is noticing their logo.

 

[Blake25p]

Needs to be the top teams regardless of conference championships and if it expands to 16 next year then it needs to be the top 16. No hand outs.

 

[VOLociraptorr]

So if Bama wins, they get to play Indiana. I think that's a pretty good matchup for them to be honest.

Ty Simpson has a great case of the yips though. Indiana's D might have him seeing ghosts

It’s good for Deboer , his job is safe . He will be in the playoffs every year guaranteed.
Next year a 7-5 Bama would be in , of course nobody else would have more than 3 losses.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

We gotta get the G5 teams the hell outta here.

 

[jakez4ut]

Espn needs another Bammer...3 isnt enough

And two buckeyes.

 

[gordonr24]

Start the bowl speculation.

Reliaquest vs. Iowa

Gator vs. Georgia Tech

Music City vs. Illinois


I hope to never see the Vols in the MCB again.

 

[Devo182]

I think it will be UGA vs Texas Tech or Indiana for the natty.

If so, this is a real down year. UGA does not scream title team. Or maybe there's just that much parity.

Not even a 1 YPP margin Yikes. They haven't been that low through the regular season since 2016.

GT still should have had them last week, 2 years running As we should have too

I dont think GA Tech because we play at Atlanta next year.
Either of the other two matchups are boring AF.

Give me someone fun like South Florida

It is very testing on the eyes.

Makes mine sore.

I just want someone new

GO TULANE AND JMU

 

[jakez4ut]

I think given the rules they have to operate under they got it right.

No issue with Bama getting in. They have a great overall resume... Compares favorably against anyone in the field.

I'm just glad head to head mattered..... Finally.

 

[Devo182]

ND should not sniff a playoff birth without an undefeated season unless they join a P4 conference.

Period.

What's the basis?

They have a higher SOS than 4 of the playoff teams, including Miami.

Just curious, because it feels arbitrary as long as SOS is considered...who cares?

ND shouldn’t be allowed to compete for the national title until they join a conference

 

[KB5252]

You don’t want that trust me they’d kill us

This, some of the money guys in Vegas have Notre Dame as the second best team in the country.....or so I'm told

 

[Vols4us]

ND’s undoing is its SOS and not playing in a conference. You can’t get by playing service academies and a few ACC teams.

ND needs to either go all in on ifs partnership with the ACC and join the conference or knock on the door of The Big 10.

The reason they don't is money - NBC money to the tune of $50 M per year. Eff 'em. When other P4's stop scheduling OOC then maybe they can tough it out with the rest of the big boys.

Because you can somewhat compare them to peers. By being stand alone, they get the benefit of being a historical powerhouse and the brand gets bumped.

 

[Batman1948]

BS. big ten bias

SEC has 5 teams in. How is that Big 10 bias

 

[UTK]

In all seriousness Bama shouldn’t have “dropped” for losing a conference championship game. My issue was they just shouldn’t have been ranked that high to begin with. They should have been in the Virginia position where the only shot they have making it is to win the championship game. Miami over ND has to happen, you can’t ignore head to head with teams with identical records. I think it would have been more appealing to have Bama as the 10 and Miami as the 9 though

 

[SagginVawls]

All this did was guarantee we move to a 16-team playoff next year.

and that was the whole point

 

[SoilVol]

Vandy actually has a pretty good resume, but losing H2H at Bama who was a bubble team is not going to get you in.

Had they taken care of business at Texas they wouldn't have been in this position.

 

[Batman1948]

ooof.............love it

You went from booking it that they were out to loving it when they got in
How many voices are in your head
