What is meat is that both teams get stuck for a while. UGA was paused at midfield. In that clip Trinity was stuck between the 30 and the 40 for about five laterals before something opened up in the middle.

..but 3rd and goal for Georgia from their 6 yard line with 1:04 left.
If Georgia tries to score with a running play and doesnt get the TD, they can run the clock down to about :20 left. Kick the game tying field goal
leaving Ole Miss with 16 seconds to drive to get in FG range, rather than 56 seconds.
Counterpoint. If the refs are favorable then the offense can draw a PI in the end zone for a fresh set of downs.

anOSU lost a Cotton Bowl (nonplayoff) to Mizzou after losing to Michigan, right before winning the 2024 national title. 14-3 where the Bucks had about 200 total yards.

We need an honest to god real analysis on who are the best teams and frankly ignore loss column as a singular metric, it’s informative for sure, but it should not be a standalone metric let alone the only and determinative metric like it has been for the last 80+ years.
The computers and Vegas bookies will let you know a team's resume and power. Even they cannot do much with a team that rattled off a bunch of wins over opponents that have no good wins of their own.

2 hours ago, 'stache said: I mean, they have a 3 game schedule next year, Miami, SMU, and BYU. If they lose two and end up ranked 13th, I'm sure they'll go full bitchmode again. So, you know, maybe win 2 of those 3? Nah, just put them in now to keep them from crying the entire fucking year.

Do you see any free wins of the Bethune Cookery variety on that list?

Michigan fans are thrilled
IIRC the Harbaugh era at Michigan opened with a quality loss to Utah. Everyone was optimistic because Michigan lost by less than the previous coach would have.
That was also basically the reaction when Saint Lou lost to Michigan in his first game in 1986, although that game had a controversial call.

Pro Football Reference compiles all of the players *drafted* from each school into the NFL. I had a little spare time and decided to curate some of the data
Notre Dame getting a playoff auto-bid for a top-12 finish would have made more sense in the 1990s or earlier. However, it makes less sense today.
Here is the same data, with %-age of overall picks per decade...
The pre-1970s %-ages for Texas surprised me, but we've had some lean years in there....
Note that the NFL draft shrunk to 7 rounds in 1994.
Fwiw.
Merry Christmas NFL Jr Fan.

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.

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.

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.

Is that an opinion or a Christmas wish?

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.




New Hatred of Michigan Fans (In-Laws)
in Football
Bama's failure to jump on a muffed punt in the endzone snipped that. Michigan had not won a real national title in 80 years.
Did anyone tell you But we played the better game.
