CFP First Round: #10 Indiana @ #7 Notre Dame (8PM ABC/ESPN)

[BeardedVol]

if IU settles for a field goal here, and ND scores again before the half it's all but over.

 

[utvolpj]

Bama fans are gonna have a field day with this game. “See, we should’ve been in the playoff ”

They aren't wrong if the goal is to get the best teams.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Who did UT play? I hate Alabama, but I don’t get what you are saying.

We beat NC State who beat Northern Illinois who beat Notre Dame...

easy peasy

Ole Miss is better than they are and I think SC is too.

Ole Miss would run this Indy team out of the country. They would be playing cricket next season

 

[BruiserVol]

I don’t know how ND managed to lose to Nothern Illinois. They actually look like a good ball team. Then again, I don’t know how we looked as inept as we did against Arkansas.

Yeah but both of the crapped the bed too

At least we were on the road. What was ND’s excuse?

Exactly. That’s why I put the nerd emojis at the end of my Bama fans post.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Thought I saw a pink bunny in the crowd.

Time to put away the JD bottle

 

[hUTch2002]

Easily a catch

I get it, frankly I don’t have a problem with who got into the playoffs based on what the requirements are.

My big issues are seeding and automatic byes. I think both aspects really screwed up the post season. We would see much better games if seeding had been handled better and there were no automatic byes for conference champs.

 

[walkenvol]

I honestly think we would beat the brakes off both these teams

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Indiana has no business in the playoffs. I don't give a damn about their weak record

 

[hUTch2002]

I think the booing is for the lack of a grounding call.

 

[C-south]

Without Beck, it’s going to be a struggle for UGA to beat this ND team. Irish are very talented.

UGA hasn’t looked that great with beck.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

UGA hasn’t looked that great with beck.

I thought UGA’s backup wasn’t bad tbh

 

[JCHateSteve]

Indiana sure isn't looking like a good win for OSU tonight.

 

[CPVOL]

I’m seriously thinking Florida would beat Indy. They’re a feel good story but that’s where it ends.

 

[Jax_Vol]

The Indiana coach should have spent less time practicing his wink at camera and more time on kickoff return schemes.

 

[loosecannon]

At least we were on the road. What was ND’s excuse?

I can’t remember but weren’t they just kind of figuring out how to use Leonard and a total mess on offense?

 

[TWVol]

We beat NC State who beat Northern Illinois who beat Notre Dame...

easy peasy

And Notre Dame would probably beat NC State right now. How they lost to NIU will never make sense.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

I can’t remember but weren’t they just kind of figuring out how to use Leonard and a total mess on offense?

I don’t remember either.

I just know losing on the road to Arkansas is a lot less embarrassing than losing at home to NIU

If that's the goal there are definitely two, maybe even add many as 4 who shouldn't be in the playoffs. But.......... In an effort if inclusion I think they did the best they could.

I can see where these playoffs are likely headed in the future though.

If they had not given automatic byes to conference champs but instead just the top 4 it would be better imo

Go the way of Clemson, guarantee a spot for conference champs but not necessarily a bye. It would mean better teams are higher ranked allowing much better matchups
