  1. Notre Dame has beaten: Purdue (2-7) Arkansas (2-7) Boise State (6-3) NCSU (5-4) USC (6-2) USC and NCSU have peaked. Boise State is a MAC team. And lost to Aggie Miami (6-2) and they'll like drop 1 or 2 more. I'd take Utah, Georgia Tech, and Vandy to beat ND. I don't love Vandy either. I put Vandy and ND on a similar level. I would put GT and Utah (lost to Tech and BYU) ahead of ND based on record, schedule and body of work. I also think Louisville would challenge ND and I've openly pooped on the ACC. I think resume wise right now, Texas is a half hitch below ND but its really close. The Florida loss is the variance in favor of ND.
  2. We're not in disagreement, but the 10 win ND deserves to be in arguments don't past muster with me. Not in and of themselves using their schedule to defend it. Edit - Don't take that to mean I don't think ND will get in the CFP with 10 wins. They 100% will.
  3. Well, it was nice knowing you. Enjoy negblivion dude.
  4. So who'd you pick and how much? You do any hedges?
  5. That is the very reason I specifically added extremely and super as adverbs. I have a high level of confidence my age and anger levels will continue to increase.
  6. There are just so many. Before I leave this world, when I'm extremely old and super grumpy, I look forward to reading the War and Peace length book of his failures in a public park. The grumbling and yelling will make all passers think I'm angry and insane. They'll be correct.
  7. The schedule ranking metrics don't agree. Among all the polls the highest ranking of their schedule is 13 in Sagrin and usually in the 20s. In fact, in most polls aggie out ranks them in SOS. You gonna look me in the eyes and say a 10 win Aggie team is also deserving? Would you say both are more deserving than say... A 10 win Texas team? SOS Rankings because Data trumps opinion
  8. I have a lot of love for Wisner, and have had fingers crossed for CJ for 2 seasons now. Cj just can't stay healthy and as much as I love Wis lner we really need an RB that require opposing DCs to scheme around. Of course, all of that also requires a competent, well developed OL capable of executing on front of them. Safety concerns me most after OL.
  9. I think Pitt is capable and pray to baby Jesus to make it so. I said early in the season any 10 win ND team gets in the playoffs regardless of the 2 losses and rest of their season schedule. That isn't changing and its truly frustrating.
  10. I'll see your B1G and raise you ACC. We've discussed it on several threads but there isn't a school in that conference, not one, that would concern me like Georgia. I say that and note, I don't think Georgia is even that good this year. I'd give up our bye week to play Virgina and be confident with a win. And if you're familiar with my work, I'm not a sunshine pumper by any measure.
  11. Zero chance. Only a big pocket blue blood with a good NIL and money situation is gonna even peak his interest. I think he will eventually get plucked but its gonna be really lucrative and big time. None of those aspects apply to Auburn. (Sorry Surly AU fans)
  12. Setting aside Cignetti who's already got his pound of flesh, I really think Elko and Kiffen stand to profit the most out of all this insanity. Others will too, but I think both their current employers are likely to go all in on contracts to keep them. Both can leverage that power to stay put or move on.
  13. Tennessee issuing a performance improvement plan and it couldn't happen to a better human.
  14. And a serial killer, but not sure that should be included in a list of occupations for this place. Rock throwers and emergency reef fund managers aside.
  15. This was my dad's (RIP pops) go to in retirement. I went with him a couple of times. While it had great memories for me, I can't see myself going back.
  16. Well who the hell is Ed O of Cignetti at UCLA for LSU? I'm so confused.
  17. Wow, I truly didn't see Heuple on the hot seat averaging 9 wins a season since he got to Knoxville. They were hovering just above .500 for 15 year prior to his arrival. That one really suprises me, and he peaked at 11 wins which was their best record in 20+ years. I guess the wind is blowing that direction this year. That or losing to the newcomers in OU really chapped some hides in Knoxville. Well, that and consistently losing to Georgia and Alabama. Lots of Bama gear running around in Tennessee..
  18. Be careful, he may neg you for both continued discussion, which he's deemed irrelevant and questioning his authority to dictate what should and should not be discussed on this forum.
  19. Well that and the video review that clearly demonstrates the call on the field was incorrect, yet not overturned.
  20. Particularly when there is very, very clear video evidence supporting them. And for those 2 there was both clear evidence, one was even reviewed plus they were obvious at the time.
  21. Did you watch the ND game yesterday? I wasn't being silly about BC giving ND all it wanted early. I can agree with Virginia but think both BYU and Tech could beat ND, with a petty high level of confidence. We've talked about Miami already so we will just have to agree to disagree on them.
  22. But they eaked out a win against 1-8 BC which is a Catholic vs Catholic huge rivalry game so they clearly deserved to go up 2 spots. Don't let the score of that game fool ya, BC ran with them early and the ND athletes pulled away late with a goodly amount of help from refs.
  23. FTFY It's pretty much a way of life for Auburn fans, at least that's what my friend who is an Auburn fan keeps claiming.
  24. Not sure anyone could have pulled Sally's baking schedule out of her.
  25. Fair is fair. Accept when it's not.
