That is all.
If this blowout continues, Notre Dame doesn’t have much of an argument imo. If Cincinnati wins tonight go ahead and let them have the last spot. I’ve heard the “They’ll just get destroyed” argument a million times, but teams get destroyed pretty much every year. Just look at Oklahoma. Give the G5 their chance for once.No doubt in my mind. I get that the Alabama loss wasn't great, but Fisher's remarks about Waddle were something that I hadn't considered and I just don't see how you can leave a one-loss A&M out of the playoff with a straight face.
My bigger question is, as you opined on in the other thread, whether Notre Dame will get a spot in the Top 4 with a blowout. To me, the "locks" are Alabama/A&M/ACC Champ and the discussion for #4 boils down to ACC loser/OSU/Cincinnati/Oklahoma.

My exact 4My four would be...
Alabama
Clemson
Texas A&M
Notre Dame
I would really be pissed if I was Notre Dame and was left out. We played 5 more games than Ohio State. We beat Clemson. This bull that it doesn't count is just that, bull. A win over Clemson without Trevor Lawrence is light years ahead of whatever win you want to claim Ohio State had. It should matter.
I play 11. They play 6. The best they play is Indiana and Northwestern and they don't even look good in those games?
I hate Notre Dame, but I'd have to vote for the Irish.
ND is going to get embarrassed again.My four would be...
Alabama
Clemson
Texas A&M

They’re best win was against the team that just stomped a mud hole in their ass, and was down their starting QB when they got that win. I personally say let them in so Bama can put 50 on them, or Clemson can crush them again.Nope. ND is overrated this year like they are every year. They are probably the 5th best team in the SEC.
Notre Dame Record: 10-1
Top 25: 2-1
Above .500: 4-1
Opp win %: .478
Texas A&M Record:
8-1
Top 25: 1-1
Above .500: 2-1
Opp win % .463
The sec isn’t very good either. Outside of the top 4 it’s a bunch of junk.The ACC is terrible I dont think UNC was a better win than LSU or Auburn regardless of record. Of course some SEC teams were below .500 they only played other SEC teams. You add 4 OOC wins to those teams and those records look much different.
