  1. assuming he didn't burn any bridges bring him back, its should be encouraged to try to move up, come home again
  2. Strength of Schedule was reduced to Wins/Losses sorted by Wins and Teams who have most recently lost - and absolutely nothing more nuanced or explainable
  3. our resident @notre dame joe doesn't realize he's barking up the wrong tree ND shouldn't have been ranked so high in general , your schedule was weak and you had * 1 good not great win * A large number of people on this board feel like Texas's case was actually stronger than either ND or Bama, FFS these teams moved up more spots than when we embarrassed #3 The committee in general is full of idiots who couldn't rank a number line , and needs to be eliminated from the selection loop
  4. This is my POV as well. What I saw was the ACC promoting its team. Thats literally their fiduciary duty, one of their only duties. The fact that ND was on the other side was collateral damage, the ACC has no control over who the committee makes room for. NDs lack of position made them an easy target. Thats on the committee, not the ACC. I think ND is attacking the only friend it has in any of this.
  5. At this point I don't know why anyone would , I would force ND to back some level of G6 / conference champion as a massive concession . Thats probably how we ended up with JMU and Tulane situation , they just never thought it would affect them
  6. All of this is revealing some deep fractures in NDs position , if even the ACC is too powerful for ND to counter they have serious problems. The ACC is one FSU from falling apart at the seams, meanwhile the SEC and BIG are sitting behind the curtains actually pulling all the strings. I think its clear ND either needs to invest in massive organization apparatus in its AD to combat this sort of stuff, or understand the role of conference affiliation. They've relied on "We're ND" so long, that a single shot against them is causing Chernobyl level meltdown
  7. i mean in ND football history, that schedule is weak bro
  8. Is Klein going to be coaching the playoffs ?
  9. maybe all of them, a&m vs miami and ou vs bama are the only possible ones that could be larger but are pretty large media draws in general oregon vs jmu and ole miss vs tulane is probably going to piss off some execs
  10. agreed the ACC and the Big 12 are leagues where they need the SOS/SOR and would be willing for one sided scheduling deals. the problem is that ND needs SEC and BIG teams to fill it schedule , but the SEC/BIG teams that matter don't actually need ND if the commissioners are like no ND scheduling aside from USC (long standing rivalry) , ND is going to be looking like window coug
  11. put another way, Texas playing ND only helps ND and can potentially hurt Texas. We don't need the SOR / SOS , replace them with whoever the Tech is scheduling
  12. FTFY - they are acting more persecuted than the mormons , who are just sitting in the corner happily eating crumbl
  13. I understand how ESPN makes a ton of cash off these games, I haven't seen anyone explain how Texas makes a ton of cash off these games I think ND is overplaying their hand here if the screw with the ACC myself, because as a Texas fan I'm taking different lessons here : Don't schedule marquee OOC Where does that leave ND ? playing even shittier schedules, probably lowering their NBC contract next time around Why would anyone want to play ND to fluff up their SOS ? Starve those fuckers
  14. What about something determined on the field like wins ? I still have a lot of unanswered questions But to fit in with the memes, 'Don't lose to A&M'
  15. might actually hate watch this one, i dont think i want to waste another 4 hours watching bama and ou toil on offense oregon vs jmu probably watch the first half but i expect it to be over pretty quick ole mill vs tulane - is tulanes coach even coaching or is he done for the year and off to wherever he landed ? what a shitty overall round 1 set of games
  16. its not complicated to need 12 MIT data scientists , the problem has always been structural - there are perverse incentives on NOT objectively using metrics to drive ranking position
  17. Also Cristobal has a knavk for doing really dumb shit at the end of games which just amplifies Becks interception issues
  18. Totally get the sentiment , I get the feeling cdc is going to wait until we see pending playoff changed before making any big moves. Declining a bowl game just needs your practices which only hurts your chances next year
  19. Burn it all down. Makes no sense for Bama to be in after that showing over any number of teams. 3 teams with no head coaches going wtf Move it to 24 to basically mimic the historic top 24 , remove the humans from this completely
  20. Don't punish teams for getting blown out of their championship games Don't punish teams for shit schedules Don't punish ND at all Don't reward major OOC or top wins This shits broke
  21. punting BYU and Bama is easy, they didn't get punished for losing, they get punished for getting blown out and embarrassed
  22. so its either keep texas out - kill major OOC keep byu / bama out - kill championship games keep ND out - they don't have any major wins keep Miami / Virginia out - kill the acc pick your poison committee
  23. whatever dumbass that fingertip didnt do shit STFU
