CFP National Championship: Ohio State vs Notre Dame Jan 20 7:30 ESPN

[Fightmaker]

Death, taxes, and Notre Dame getting blistered when they are allowed in the playoffs.

 

[Zues1]

Buckeye fans probably still want Day fired..

 

[vavolfan6]

Maybe I’m crazy, but the fact that Day lost two games with this roster is an indictment of his coaching.

Losing to Oregon early in the season on the road becuase of a rule techicality isn't too surprising.

The Michigan loss was inexcusable. Kind of makes me pissed becuase there should be no reason for us having played Ohio State in round 1.

 

[C-south]

I dont think we would have beaten ND but they are about to find out what we ran into early in the bracket. Final is going to be ND 14 or less and OSU 30+

Mind you and we had every possible thing go against us, OSU at home, cold, injuries, etc.

Makes me barf to say it but Ohio State is the real deal and way above everyone this year. Chock full of NFL talent.

They also have a playbook and aren’t afraid to use it.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Of the twelve teams, we could’ve beaten SMU and Boise State and Indiana. We are on the right track, but we still have a ways to go.

I actually think we would’ve matched up well w/ this Notre Dame team. They play ugly, we kind of played ugly. I don’t think it’s a forgone conclusion that we would lose to this Notre Dame team.

 

[SGMVols]

They will still have some fans mad at him over the Michigan loss even with a literal natty

They are psychotic about that rivalry

 

[DirtyDawg]

Buckeye fans probably still want Day fired..

And ironically would want Freeman!

 

[Fightmaker]

Yeah it’s obvious ND has no answers, and we ran into a buzz saw playing this team in their house in the first round.

How in the holy hell did this team lose to Michigan?

Connor Stailions is still working unofficially and unregulated.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

I’d like to see our athletic department fully commit to creating this kind of dominance for once before I die. Must be nice.

Their fans have said for the last few years that Day has a weird mental hangup with Michigan (based not just on how they've played but comments he's made as well), which seems to be the best explanation at this point.

That game was bizarre not just on account of the fact that Ohio St lost but how they played.

 

[theroyz71]

Leonard has not looked good throwing the ball at all.

 

[theroyz71]

Gotta catch that.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

And ironically would want Freeman!

This win will buy him about a week until the parades and stuff are over, and then we’re talking 2025 roster, future schedule and will Ryan Day ever beat Michigan ?
Ryan Day should win the Natty and take an nfl job w/ a giant middle finger extended towards Columbus. It would be such an improvement for his everyday life.

 

[DirtyDawg]

Leonard has not looked good throwing the ball at all.

To be fair, after that first drive he is probably seeing way too many receivers out there.

Probably was the best thing that happened to them

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Leonard has not looked good throwing the ball at all.

Which is why you liked that first 10 minute drive

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

I wondered about the payout because ND isn't in a conference. Even losing, they win.

Notre Dame’s $20 Million CFP Payout Makes It a Winner Already

Notre Dame football keeps 100% of its CFP payout, in contrast to opponent Ohio State, which much share its $20 million with other Big Ten members.

I actually think winning a title buys him a few years unless he pulls a Coach O and goes .500 over the next couple years.

As much as their fans love to talk about "you have to beat Michigan," I don't think they really mean that.

Of the twelve teams, we could’ve beaten SMU and Boise State and Indiana. We are on the right track, but we still have a ways to go.

I would add the CFP version of UGA as well. Was not impressed with their backup QB.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

They beat better teams than us. I don’t think we’d move the ball on them.

 

[VolCalls]

Halftime was 21-10.

And less than a quarter later it was 35-10. We were dominated and managed a junk TD at the end against their 3rd string.

ND at least took the opening drive, ate up nine minutes, and punched them in the mouth to lead 7-0. We gained 11 yards in the first quarter.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Their backup qb was awful. I’m not sure we could score on their defense.

 

[Plecoptera]

I was hoping for a competitive game tonight but this is unfortunately going like I was afraid it would. Oh well, nothing else to watch on a Monday and this is the last college football for a long while.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Leonard held together with glue and duct tape.

 

[mackievol]

Notre Dame is a fraud and can't beat any real teams. They are cooked and game over
