got a feeling ND pulls off the upset.  They had 4 common opponents with comparable results https://www.shakinthesouthland.com/2018/12/6/18123263/how-did-clemson-and-notre-dame-perform-against-common-opponents

Clemson is looking past this game with star DT out, ND wants respect. Game will be much closer than we think.

And Holly is bgiier n a whale

But the point is to crown a deserving champion. Not to include a bunch of undeserving teams to try and manufacture drama in the hope an upset happens.

Might as well cancel March Madness then.

If the champion is truly deserving, then they can survive the gamut and come out on top. If they can get upset by a G5 conference champ, then they aren't deserving are they?

Feels like days ago I was making fun of Michigan.

If Gene Stallings is still alive when the Bama job opens up, I bet he can talk Dabo into it. 

I hate Bama. Current coach is the GOAT, and Dabo couldn't have deeper ties to the Crimson Tide.

Has anybody ever seen Holly Rowe and Miss Piggy at the same time?  Just askin'

True.

Who the fuck did Clemson play though?

I said earlier in the thread that neither team played anyone worth a shit to get here. It is what it is I guess

If you ain’t buying players, you ain’t winning shit.

7,16,11,9,16 are the rankings of Clemson's last 5 classes on 247 composite.

ever since ND made the decision to be an academic school first it gave up any hope of winning titles.  it is now one of the hardest universities to be admitted to, alabama one of the easiest. 

It’s harder to get into Alabama than Notre Dame if you play football.

[MrPhlegm 3413]

Don't say that, UCF will be petitioning to get a mulligan entrance, or put out stuff like this:
 

UCF is gonna do that anyway mr aggy twatwaffle nd flaccid dick sucker.11

[Dolemite 143]

Football was down this year all around. ND is pitiful, Clem hasn't beaten anyone, even Alabama is winning on offense this year. USC shit, Michigan Shit, Florida Shit, FSU shit. 

The only really good team Alabama played was UGA.

UGA should have taken ND place. Also, do away with the conference champion clause, and just apply the BCS formula to the top 4 teams.

Also, play the games on campus according to seeding. Fuck making fans fly to Miami and then California.

Their average rating per recruit is elite.  The class rankings are lower primarily because they take small classes instead of signing 25+ every year.  They redshirt more players than the other top teams and don’t run guys off so much.  Not much roster turnover, but the guys they have are legit.

Looks like their average rating was only elite in the last class they took. I agree with the rest though.

Well, at least Notre Dame made the CFP, but maybe this loss shows how the Fighting Irish need (the talent within) the ACC, more than the other way around:

Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.  As long as Notre Dame is unwillingly to admit they were outclassed then they will continue to get exposed as frauds whenever they face real teams.  I don’t think they care so long as that playoff money keeps rolling in.

I enjoy the history & tradition of Notre Dame as an indy, but realize that at some point, the CFP committee will start to "skip" the school, the same as the past few years for B1G...
An eventual change to this strategy must be made, either win CFP titles again (drought since 1988), or join the ACC; as the conference champs only idea would force the issue...

I used to think Kelly Bryant had a legit gripe.  Not now.  

Yeah, Bryant wasn't taking this team to the mountaintop. Dabo made the right choice. I said it back then. Still saying it now.

Fuck Notre Dame. If the Vatican wasn't covering for them, they'd make Pedo State look like small potatoes.
