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.

Did PRONG HORN take over this guy's account?

Notre Dame comes across as reluctant to join a conference out of concern that they would struggle to measure up to the image they have cultivated in the past and lose status as a serious threat to win national or even conference titles.

They are upset over this years omission from the playoffs exposing the cherry picking schedule route may not hold up like it used to. Time to adjust expectations and deal with an unfamiliar reality.

good takes, and they would trend towards logical, if domer existed in the same universe as the rest of college football

witness joe's complete and total refusal to address direct questions that create coginitive dissonance

it's an aggy-esque imprint of "special" and "chosen", way beyond entitled

they hear spoken words on a different frequency

any sec team that keeps their current domer contracts should be villified and shamed

All things considered, ND should go back to refusing to participate in post-season foolery. They need to create an invitational game of heir very own, played someplace that provides an escape from Indiana winters... Hawai'i or the like. Maybe move it year to year, say Qatar, Bangkok, Sao Paulo, Rio.

What rule are you talking about?

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.

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?

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

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.

Well, to be honest, I'm going to be mostly boycotting the first round games also.  Except for the anticipated schadenfreude watching TAMU lose on Saturday, it's a dreadful slate of first round games.

The JMU social media trolling of Oregon has been phenomenal.

I met the real Rudy around 1995 or 1996.  He was very outgoing, warm, and genuine to me...and I was just a 22/23 year-old nobody.

But he wasn’t offsides in the movie. I always assumed they were saying he was offsides in real life.

seems like a great guy.
 
 
No, Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger, the famous Notre Dame football player, did not go to jail, but he was involved in a securities fraud case where he settled charges with the SEC for a "pump-and-dump" stock scheme related to his company, Rudy Nutrition, agreeing to pay fines and accept a ban from public companies, while other participants faced prison time. 
Key Details:
  • SEC Charges (2011): Ruettiger was charged with securities fraud for his role in promoting Rudy Nutrition stock in a scheme to inflate its price.
  • Settlement: He settled the charges without admitting guilt, paying over $380,000 and agreeing to be barred from being an officer or director of a public company.
  • No Jail Time for Rudy: While the schemes hurt investors, the legal actions against Ruettiger resulted in financial penalties and industry bans, not imprisonment.
  • Other Individuals: Some co-conspirators in the scheme did face prison sentences for their roles in orchestrating the fraud.
