    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.

    Maybe if you had beaten even one of those teams you might have been in?  

    Oh if they had called this on 4th and 11  we are a 4th and 21 away from a first round bye.

    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.

    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.

    I think your beef should be that Tulane and JMU got in. At the very least, only one of those should have made it. Miami deserved it over ND because of head to head. ND would be in if any one of those 2 teams were left out.

    But ND lost its 2 best games and when ran the table on a very below average schedule.

    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.

    Notre Dame needed to win one of the two good opponents they played. They lost both and should be out. You can’t refuse to be in a conference and then complain when you lose the only good teams you schedule. 

    Speaking of USC, Oregon dominated that game and ND was losing halfway through the third. 

     

    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.

    They only had one loss to the #1 team and play in a real conference. Next.

    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.

  13. 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.

    Notre Dame screwed Notre Dame by scheduling the way you do and not being in a conference. The lack of responsibility from ND fans is hilarious. Nobody forced ND to avoid joining a conference or scheduling well. If you had something to point to other than random metrics (like actual decent wins) you would have a point of consternation. Until you put skins on the wall, don't complain.

    I’m sure it’s just regular rotation that their ACC schedule every year features Syracuse, Wake Forest, and/or Boston College.

    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).

    i’ve hated Notre Dame since 1966 when that punk ass Ara Parseghian ran out the clock and kicked a field goal to tie Michigan State, and claim a national championship.

    My dad explained the arrogance and hypocritical mindset that was Notre Dame, demanding to be treated special.  They were special, in a way.  Nobody else had an army of Catholic priests telling high school recruits that they had to go to Notre Dame and support their religion.  

    Notre Dame intentionally playing for a tie sums up the essence of Notre Dame football.

    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.
