    Because USC is 2-8 against them in the last 10 games.  

    Just imagine ND cancelled during the Pete Carroll era (1-7) and blamed the new BCS formula. 

     

    Seriously, plenty of Trojans are unhappy about this too.

  2. Well this is a nice miserable end to a stupid year.  We can blame the playoff for disincentivizing quality OOC matchups, yeah it's all their fault.

    Well, will you look at that. LFG!

    I notice that we made sure we start at our home first, to avoid any shenanigans. 

    I believe that we owe you a home game or three.  And/pr BYUcould quietly join the ACC.

    until such time as he chooses to answer the direct question which i posed to him 3 times last week, notre dame joe should be made invisible so no one can see his posts or replies

    deplatform domer

    I did answer, just not the answer you wanted.  Screaming to censor differing opinions shows that your are worthless.

    @notre dame joe who would be targeted if this happened ? 

    The old AD, Savvy Jack Swarbrick, would do an exhaustive search of coaches already working at Notre Dame.  The new guy has never had to hire anyone.  What's Will Muschamp up to, wait never mind.

    You would think sark would be a better candidate than freeman

    Is that an opinion or a Christmas wish?

  4. Sure. It's possible that a team that hadn't been threatened since week 4 would also be stuck in a 3-3 tie with 4 minutes left.  Or hey, maybe we refuse to run the ball against Alabama with our two soon be drafted RBs.  And while we are dreaming, perhaps James Madison University produced a tv ratings bonanza.

    i mean that sucks and all, but allowing a team that struggled to score 3 points against Miami to score 41 on you is what made you lose 

     

    The first two games were the hardest, after which ND adjusted the defensive rotation.  We're much better than August's team and would have been favorites over everyone today except maybe Oregon.

    Texas isn't that close to end of season Ohio State. Julian saiyan is so much better than game 1. He was fucking in NYC for the Heisman ceremony and it wasn't weird. 

    Its not close. Georgia, Indiana, Ohio State are on a different level. 

    I didn't follow the BUG much as they had only a few good games. 

    Georgia? a good loss vs Bama, good wins vs Texas, Ole Miss, SECCG, but then scares against Florida, Auburn, and GTech with 3 body bag wins.  I think UGA is just a good team.

    No one cares man, none of these teams or Texas or ND would have won it all. The teams that are competitive are on a different level entirely. 

    🤨 The teams at the top were very close together this year.  If Texas really one TD worse than anOSU (on the road) then you are very close to #1 IU. There's probably 16 teams with an okay chance to make it through the playoff.

    Just a reminder that ND lost to both of the teams that just played in that 11:00AM "game"

    Reminder, the excluded the #1 offense to feature two teams that managed their one touchdown at the 58 minute.  What a steaming pile.

    Is that even a crime anymore?

    If you want to be a legal nit, the SEC (the Washington DC one) does civil enforcement and exists to write big fines.  A good lawyer tells you to pay the fine in exchange for non-prosecution by the DOJ.  The money man got one year.  

     

    Also, the redditors in the Game Stop stock bubble could have been prosecuted.

    That MOU with the selection committee ensuring ND is automatically in the playoffs with a certain amount of wins no matter what dogshit teams they play?  Just guessing.

    That's a negotiation with the playoff where every conference, especially 2 of them, wants 'special' treatment.

    the rule that notre dame demands equal treatment without equal risk or equal effort

     

    notre dame expects to be judged, weighed and measured using the same standards as every other fbs team (save 1 .. uconn)

    you notre dame joe have written a dozen posts in the last 10 days discussing computer equations, committee this that and the other, subjective this, objective that...

     

    every other fbs team plays in a conference and is free to choose 3 of their 12 opponents

    every other fbs team must share their media rights revenues with the conference

    notre dame does not play in a conference and is free to choose 7 of their 12 opponents

    notre dame does not have to play in a 13th game because notre dame is not in a conference

    notre dame does not share their media rights revenues with anyone, not even it's "business partner" the acc

     

    notre dame talks about itself in the 3rd person with circular logic that may make sense to notre dame while sounding incomprehensible to the rest of the college football universe

     

    notre dame demands equal treatment without equal risk or equal effort

    if that is not a rule, then why does notre dame demand it?

     

    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.

    Sam Neumann: Rick Neuheisel suggests moving bowl games to beginning of season to save them from extinction

     

    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.

    @notre dame joe would you please use the word "independence" in your response to this question?:

    please explain why notre dame believes notre dame is entitled to a special set of rules that apply only to notre dame

    What rule are you talking about?

    looking at the math behind the Massey, it looks like its focus is on point differentials which would be biased towards beating up cream puff schedules like ND had this year

    The composite is an aggregation (mean?) of many different computer rankings.  IMO, that the composite ratings have UND at #6 is an indictment against many of them.  Or evidence that not enough games "cross-pollinated" conference to conference or conference to independent.

    UND is getting credit for close "quality losses" against aTm (8) and Miami (9).  And strong wins against opponents like Purdue (98), NC State (43), Arkansas (78), Boise (42), USC (15), BC (107) Navy (39), Pitt (37), Stanford (87), and Syracuse (106) helps, esp. with high margins. (all rankings are massey composite)

    Texas:
    Wins: SJSU (121), UTEP (132), SHSU (136), OU (10), UK (62), MSU (60), Vandy (14), Ark (79), aTm (8)
    Losses: tosu (2), UF (54), UGA (5)

    Margin of victory is definitely helping UND, while Texas' loss to UF is not that great.

     

     

    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.

    The flawed system was ever having ND ranked sixth for publicity purposes.  You knew you were the weakest of the 2 loss teams in consideration.  It wasn't logically close.  Now you just hold onto meaningless week to week playoff rankings as some kind of "proof" while ignoring all logic.

    You had a two game schedule and lost both, and have high tier wins.  You are basically crashing because of the equivalent of a pre season ranking.

     

    Miami always had the better two loss resume with the head to head v ND

    OU had a better two loss resume, as did Vandy.  TX arguably had a better resume with three losses.  

    You were fooled by publicity polls

    #6 is our computer ranking (Massey composite).  The PC ranked ND 9th until it was time to promote Bama and Miami.
