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

[dobre_shunka]

Big 10 teams can't handle playing in cold weather obviously

Not gonna be popular here, but Notre Dame could win the whole thing.

Because of how they are performing against Indiana?

We’ll see. They won’t win easy against UGA. They can bully slow ass Indiana though

 

[BeardedVol]

Indiana's tackling is abysmal.

 

[Pennheel]

Im just glad they decided to put this on tonight. Notre Dame is winning this by two TDs and I can't see them making it past the second round. Indiana is exactly what most predicted they were. Creampuff schedule.

Georgia will beat ND.

I'm sure Marcus Freeman will be riding high after tonight, but he'll be grinding his teeth flat on the sidelines in Athens.

I apologize if this has been mentioned, Maybe it’s just me, but Cignetti reminds me too much of Butch Jones.

I can see it, but he also has the ego and sarcasm as Derek Dooley.

Luckily it won’t be in Athens. Hope ND rolls them.

Indiana is this years Iowa. Gawdy record beating a bunch of pushover teams. A fraud

+1,000. They only played two teams with a winning record and lost one of those games. They played two other teams with a 6-6 record. The other 8 games were against teams with losing records. They did not beat a single team in the top 25. I'm so fricken tired of these sheety playoff committees telling us how important strength of schedule is during the season and then totally ignoring it and only looking at wins and losses when picking playoff teams. The SEC should clearly have a fourth (and possibly a fifth) team in these playoffs.

It's not just you. It's the buzz cut.

What sucks is because of how few good teams there are in the Big 10, we will see this same setup in perpetuity. The Big 10 will always have one completely unworthy team in the playoffs because they only played one or two decent games in conference.

 

[JCHateSteve]

Notre Dame isn't very impressive. Indiana is straight trash.

No, no they can’t.

10th ranked Indiana with a high school schedule is really making some noise tonight.

 

[VolFan4life24]

Indiana is who we thought they were. They played nobody to get in the playoffs. The one team they did play in OSU rolled them now a slightly above average team in Notre Dame is beating them easily

 

[Godfatha]

Shhhhhhh we are supposed to say every SEC game is elite competition like Miss St, Vandy, Kentucky, Florida, and Oklahoma. Meanwhile the B1G is nothing but cream puffs.

Florida would beat this Indiana team and could beat this Notre Dame team. The B1G is four teams and a bunch of Kentucky’s.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Even the analysts are talking about questioning the Big 10 now

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Ole Miss lost to a bad Kentucky team at home too though

They did. I think if Ole Miss played their best game vs Notre Dame’s best game, Ole Miss would win. I think Dart is a much better player than Leonard.

 

[zeppelin128]

Indiana needs to score to make this boring ass game interesting.

Does Kurt cignetti not remind you of Butch Jones lol

This could be avoided if strength of Schedule was a bigger factor

But hey, that’s far too logical a solution for the playoff committee

Yeah it’s more a question of which Ole Miss Team shows up though. That’s my point. The good Ole Miss team would beat ND

The bad one would not.

KC is a much better coach than BJ

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Awful play calling by the Hoosiers.

Awful execution. Mainly because they don't belong
