  1. Yeah but he has a cool avatar.
  2. That's a negotiation with the playoff where every conference, especially 2 of them, wants 'special' treatment. Does everyone play an equal number of FBS teams? Bigger P4 teams? Example, Bama scheduled U Louisiana Monroe and Eastern Illinois University!? So their '13th game' was actually the Tide's 11th losable game.
  3. The spring games have been getting cancelled. Why not have the minor 'bowl' games around the time spring practice ends. It would give everyone a chance to cool down after the real season and a chance for the playes to test whether they need to leave for the portal.
  4. What rule are you talking about?
  5. The computers love teams that win by 70 or has the quality loss. Sagarin is probably the most famous offender. I like the BCS because it used both human polls and computers.
  6. #6 is our computer ranking (Massey composite). The PC ranked ND 9th until it was time to promote Bama and Miami.
  7. That's contractual. It was poor rule writing because the CFP likely did not predict that the ACC champ would be an 8-5 team, and thus they were roping another JMU type team. And the ACC likely didn't consider naming the highest rated teams at tiebreaker. No one's saying they wrote those rules as part of a vast conspiracy to screw ND. Yes it's a flawed system. When a 12 team playoff cannot include the #6 team by the objective computers then it doesn't have a good system. Did you watch SC @ Oregon? IT was a comedy of errors and if the game continued ad infinitum they would still be trading the lead score.
  8. Oregon played one very good team and lost at home, one pretty good team (USC) and won at home. If the Ducks spent one OOC slot on an SEC team then it's 50:50 they go 10-2 and are in the scrum.
  9. Question for the You didn't beat anyone crowd. Why is Oregon in the playoff? They beat Southern Cal (same as ND) and did not play an SEC team (unlike ND). The Ducks spent their OOC on Montana (1-11), Oregon St (2-10), OKST (1-11). The Ducks 2nd best win was 8-4 Iowa on a last minute fg. @Vic Mackey Massey rates our offense at #1.
  10. ND supplies the dates and the ACC supplies the teams. We only know that everyone wants to play Notre Dame so they get roughly the same access. I don't know when Cal and SMU jump in The ACC signed a contract with Notre Dame, making us business partners. The terms of this partnership inter alia, Notre Dame signed a grant of rights for All sports except football, Notre Dame agreed to five games a year against ACC teams in football. (Upping that to eight or nine ACC teams a year would on average be a weaker schedule). And have you ever heard anyone, in over 50 years, complaining about how Duffy Daugherty played for the tie at home? There's a long established tradition of people complaining that Notre Dame gets 'preferential treatment' while those who know the history roll their eyes.
  11. How about the ACC?
  12. What twinkle toe B's is this? Has there ever been a consensual relationship?
  13. This is so typical Michigan. They just couldn't stand that for maybe 4 days Notre Dame was number one in horrible headlines.
  14. The G5 tie in indicated that BYU would have been bumped out before the CCG. That's not the PC's decision. The PC absolutely did punish BYU by dropping them for CCG loss, while for Bama they did not. In this situation, sitting altar boy still will accomplish nothing. They now know that screwing ND comes with a price.
