Abad loss for us got even worse today. We were #2 in nation


Oct 21, 2017, 9:33 PM

when we lost at Syracuse by 3 and drop to #7/8. We follow that with a bye week in which no team ahead of us lost and not teams immediately behind us lost. Many of them won impressively. I can see us dropping as low as 10/11 tomorrow. That is a drop from 2 to 10/11 for one three point loss. Seem like we were just reveling in being the only team to win 3 top-15 games ever in the month of September. On a positive note, however, our wins over Virginia Tech, Louisville, Wake and Boston College look even better today.
1. Bama
2. Penn State
3. Georgia
4. TCU
5. Wisconsin
6. Ohio State (not sure why they are ahead of us, but they are. same # of losses and 31-0)
7.Miami
8, Notre Dame
9. Oklahoma
10. Clemson


If Notre Dame gets into the playoff leaving a conference or two out, look for them to be pressured to join a conference or the playoff to enlarge. If they keep a deserving ACC team our, the ACC will quietly take it because they are in this arranged marriage. The other conferences will likely say, that's what the ACC deserves and will be no problems. But if Notre Dame getting in screws one of the other leagues, all heck will break loose. I hope the playoff committee mentality will not be such that if they have to leave a league out for ND, they choose to slight an ACC deserving team for the above reason. In other words treat the ACC as if Notre Dame is a full member.

2 of the following four teams will have to suffer a loss, Penn State Wisconsin, and UGA Alabama. If we make the ACC title game we get a swipe at Miami, so I am fine with them passing us in the ranking for now. OSU and PSU still play as well, so of the 3 big 10 teams in the fold one will have 2 losses minimum and only 1 can go undefeated.

Winning out should get us in, but let's not get ahead of ourselves and assume we will. Even with a healthy Bryant, we have some serious flaws to address on offense first.

ND is not going to go undefeated and will not make the PO.


Oct 21, 2017, 9:47 PM

A conference championship has value. They will need to beat a conference champ in lieu of a conference championship. You name me one conference which will turn out a champion that ND can handle.

Bama and UGA would have to play in the SEC Championship.

PSU and OSU play next weekend.

The winner of that game would play Wisconsin in the Big 10 Championship.

TCU and OU play in November and possibly again in the Big 12 Championship.

We'd play Miami in the ACC Championship.

We're the defending champs who lost a road game with an injured starting QB. As long as we take care of our own business, we're in.

If ND wins out and UGA wins out but loses to Bama, ND is in on the basis that they beat UGA and 4 ACC teams.

The question is, does UGA make it? They have looked impressive. Their new QB is playing well. Their defense is great and their running game is great too.

We don't have an offense or a defense that can play 4 quarters. We need UGA, TCU and Penn State to lose a game. We need NCST to beat ND.

Nobody is talking about this, but the worse scenario for us is if Georgia wins the SEC in a close game over Bama. I think the committee will have a much easier time leaving Georgia out then a 12-1 Bama team with one close loss. ALSO, a Bama win could prevent a rematch, which the CFP doesn't want, either.

So, with all this said, here's what we want:

1. Clemson to win out. That's the most important thing. If we win out, we're almost certainly in.

2. ND to lose another game.

3. The Big 12 champ to have one loss. We will get the nod over any team in that conference if the conf champ has a loss... looking at you to drop one, TCU.

The fact that our loss came in week 7 was a blessing. If it came later, we would be in trouble.

I think you may have it backwards on Notre Dame being forced to join a conference. The only thing that forces them to join a conference is being left out of the playoffs. If they are left out because they didn't win a conference championship, then they join. Right now they get to have it both ways.
