Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

Wow...the ol' take your ball and go home mentality. Such a good example that bunch of quitters are...

 

[Orange.]

Should have been 6 or 8 teams not 12 imo.

I think the TV networks, Birmingham, and Indianapolis needed votes from the lesser P4s and especially from the G5s (the majority) for the NCAA vote.

After it was established, it would be almost impossible to end, and the big program-network/corporate advertising nexus could change it however they wanted.

Basically what this year showed is “being 3rd in conference is best”

A&M rewarded, Miami rewarded, Oregon rewarded…

I think hosting the first round is better than a bye

Which is why the committee had to keep the team that lost in the championship game of the toughest conference in the playoffs. You simply can’t reward teams for sitting on the couch. They actually got it right as the real debate was always between Miami or Notre Dame if Virginia lost to Duke. Both teams were 10-2 and Miami won the head to head. Pretty simple actually.

I can hear them slamming their door and stomping in their bedroom from here

 

[GVol1966]

They should just stop ranking teams altogether and drop the CFP rankings after every game is played.

That way all the arguing can happen at once vs every week new rankings come out.

Yep. Any ranking except the last one is meaningless because they will flip 2 teams and neither played that week.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Join a conference or schedule better. You play one or two meaningful games a season. If that's the route you take you can't afford a single loss.

Their schedule next year is even easier

 

[NMVol]

And no conference to fine them.

 

[MarcoVol]

That should not have anything to do with it.
They played SEC , Big 10, and ACC teams.

Should have to join a conference.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Notre dame afraid to play a ranked team and getting exposed… again

 

[Jimmy Football]

Pete Nokos of No3 reported it first.

 

[KnoxVillain]

Join a conference, cowards.

 

[BigSteve09]

I will say that Notre Dame does have a point about the week to week rankings and giving the players false hope.

If the early season losses put a ceiling on their season's potential and playoff hopes, they should have been ranked accordingly.

ESPN and the committee were just ranking people all over the place to drive engagement. ND doesn't belong to be in, but they also didn't deserve to be used as a prop.

The week to week thing only benefits ESPN and it should just be a final ranking/show.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Shedeur definitely has upside. More accurate passer than Cam Ward on the whole in this game.

Dude just cannot break the habit of going on a walkabout in the backfield.

[IASIPNeyland]

Deserved two TDs but they subbed Ollie Gordon in late. Wright deserves more touches than Gordon.

Yeah, I was yelling at my TV on that one.
Wright grinding the entire field to get in scoring position and they let Ollie run it in...
The o-line has been run blocking with the best in the league the last 6 games. I have the creeping feeling one of Wright or Ollie will be traded this off-season.

 

[WesTnVol]

Just saw that ND is declining to play in a bowl
Wonder if that might affect us?? As in getting a different bowl due to shuffling.

 

[Orangeburst]

Pete Nokos of No3 reported it first.

Im taking crazy pills

If UVA wins, Notre Dame is in.

Pure politics. They weren't leaving the ACC out completely.

Honestly, there is so much BS that comes with conference obligations. I don't care if ND gets the short end of the stick for being independent for once.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

ND a bunch of soft ass babies

Look at that schedule next year. They stand a real chance of being undefeated.

It’s a sad day when teams are opting out of the prestigious Pop-Tarts Bowl.

ND gets by with having their cake and eating it too. They conduct themselves as if they are the smartest program and the only ones that thought to do things the way that they did. For that, they do deserve negative consequences that other teams put up with conferences to avoid.

Are people leaking to parody accounts to "soft open" their decisions on social media? First, RGW is breaking news. Now we have No3 and Nokos? Is Centel the next ESPN?

 

[peaygolf]

Would the Titans make a 12 team CFP

They would win the CFP...........
