I am seeing a lot of "ND will never be invited again to a 4 team playoff." "even if they are undefeated". Etc.
With the players leaving, I don't think ND will be a play off team next year, but this game will have no bearing on that moving forward. If they are undefeated or play a tougher schedule and go 11-1, absolutely they will be back.
I suppose I should not read this board and the "other" site. The swings of emotion are making me dizzy.
Very good year. Laid an egg today. Kelly is not a big game coach. These are all accurate, in my opinion. Equating ND to a MAC team or a team that will never be asked back to the playoff is ludicrous.
