  1. Acceptable sort by bad losses. Or, Sort by wins against conference champions.
  2. Is James Madison going to beat Miami or indiana?
  3. I feel that we are on a collision course with anOSU no matter what happens
  4. Sadly when driving from Toledo to South Bend it was noticeable. Like suddenly there was a fun house mirror making everything taller and thinner
  5. Poor Miami. They spent all week attacking Notre Dame. Now they are in a dog fight with bama for the last slot, and afraid they might lose their lottery ticket for an invitation to the SEC.
  6. There's a lot of chit chat about a 'buffer' between ND and Miami because we would be flipped if right next to each other. A weak move for a weak concept. But anywho, but Bama ND BYU Miami If BYU gets punished for losing then Bama could get punished if they lose. The family still employs a buffer
  7. I think another playoff spot was opened up early this afternoon. Bump Miami up to 11 and then swap Miami with #10 ND (after we got swapped with Bama for their magnificent one TD win over an inept Auburn)? Gun to my head I would guess NO, Miami already got their stay home and eat cheeseburger award by getting in and possibly being #11.
  8. It's mostly the W-L. But it's also the games against Mississippi State, Kentucky, Florida, UGA. The PC talks a lot but they generally sort by W-L and follow the computers.
  9. It's a tough draw. If TTech was closer to normal, or BYU losses one of the wacky tiebreakers and finishes 11-1, then they probably both go to the playoff. The Big12 had a number of wins over the ACC so they probably are the #3 conference.
  10. Colley is a binary where a win is 1 and loss is 0. That's the metric everyone uses when they want to exclude ND because it treats last minute losses to A&M and Miami the same as Alabama getting crushed by Florida State. If we are going to be faulted for pure W-L then we get credited for beating opponents' W-L. https://colleyrankings.com/currank.html
  11. Nope. We would be dogs to Ohio State, maybe small underdogs to Oregon and Georgia. I'm happy for a chance to thrash the rest of the field, particular fakers like Oklahoma and Alabama. Again we beat three 9 win teams, and Navy will likely become a 10 win team next week. That's just a piece of the puzzle showing that we didn't play a joke schedule, not that we ever do. And where are you getting the idea that BYU is better than ND in any measure? Massey gives BYU #15-defense amd #20 in offense. ND is 1 and 6th. The one thing that ND, BYU, ND, and USC have in common is that we are much higher in the computers than the human polls. https://masseyratings.com/cf/fbs/ratings
  12. Going for it is fine in that spot. I just don't know why coaches can't just run a play instead of going lucha libre with fakes. Is your base offense expected to get two yards?
  13. Navy is #22 on Colley. Boise won't quite be top 25 but it's a win over a conference champ 9 win team.
  14. IF Boise wants to go to the half with 40 seconds left, why throw a 5 yard pass. The only thing that can happen is a pick-6.
  15. We will have two top 25 wins and three more in the top 50. All very decisive or a blowout. Is one 8 team really that much better than another? Who cares
  16. Even if we look at just that metric in a vacuum; Miami beat who? ND. The entire SEC OOC? ND. Maybe Georgia tech and Michigan. But then maybe (we beat) USC, Navy, and Boise State. The entire point of a bloated playoff is to forgive losses from good teams, instead of having your national title hopes dashed by one loss and then later two losses. Well, we have the best losses.
  17. Again we are two days from being 12-0. No other team can say that. One of those plays was a swallowed whistle on their 4th and 11 go ahead td. https://youtube.com/shorts/UtVOuj_flqk?si=9Tg2_z4G5FSC6nXH
  18. THere may be a reason to get stuffed in a locker but Texas is not one of them.
  19. And the computers, and Vegas know that ND is better than Miami and most playoff teams Perception when they are looking for a reason to drop you.
  20. There are several things, like squeakers over losing teams.
  21. The computers say otherwise. Unless you look at a binary Win=1 Loss=0, you will notice that we only played two close games against good teams and lost each in the final 30 seconds. The other ten wins ranged from decisive to blowout.
