ESPN made a grade school level powerpoint chart graphic and showed it aboot 10,000x during our games while the idiot announcers repeated it incessantly.

Btw, if there was ever evidence that this stat is total BS, it was the alternate % chances we would have if we lost:22%.
Because there is certainty that our chances of making the playoffs with 2 losses is 0%.

Updated playoff projections (various sites): ND in some, out some. Ambiguity for me... - SteveM - 12:23pm 10/22/24 (30) [View All]

- Someone earlier mentioned no Power 4 or 5 team with only one loss - MarkHarman - 1:15pm 10/22/24
- Our percentage of making it if we win out are 60ish so that makes sense. - ndphysics - 12:37pm 10/22/24
  - LOL you really, seriously, honestly, not just fucking with us..think at 11-1 we have a 60% chance? - Chrisb - 8:37pm 10/22/24
  - Where are you seeing that? ESPN FPI has 11-1 ND 99% chance to make playoffs [LINK] - Turkish - 12:51pm 10/22/24
    - 11-1 Notre Dame will always be in. 10-2 with this schedule and I think we are definitely out. [NT] - tky21 - 8:55pm 10/22/24
    - ND beat 1 current ranked Power opponent, (A&M). Wins over ranked Army / Navy won't mean squat. [NT] - SteveM - 1:01pm 10/22/24
      - Are you going to admit you're wrong when 11-1 ND makes playoff? - Turkish - 1:06pm 10/22/24
        No, I surely hope we make the playoffs. My questions weren't rhetorical... - SteveM - 1:46pm 10/22/24
        No calculator can account for all the variables a committee will consider. - ndphysics - 1:50pm 10/22/24
        Your questions aren't rhetorical, they dismiss 25+ years of history and data - Turkish - 2:46pm 10/22/24
        Which team above us has a weaker schedule let alone teams [NT] - WoodstockIrish - 8:05am 10/23/24
        Penn St, Clemson, Iowa St, BYU - Turkish - 8:24am 10/23/24
        All have played teams in the top 10, have 2-3 ranked opponents - WoodstockIrish - 10:10am 10/23/24
        We're ranked behind them now because we lost to NIU and 3 of them are undefeated still - Turkish - 1:43pm 10/23/24
        
        It's lovely how wrong you are. The teams I mentioned have beaten nobody. [NT] - Turkish - 1:38pm 10/23/24
        
        Since Clemson was motor boated at home, they haven't played a single ranked team...in fact - Chrisb - 11:10am 10/23/24
        They played #1, will play #19 and will play a top ten 10 in their conference - WoodstockIrish - 12:23pm 10/23/24
        You're talking about what they WILL do, current ranking is about what you have done, we HAVE beaten - Chrisb - 1:20pm 10/23/24
        Because my comment originally to the Turk guy was that several tea [NT] - WoodstockIrish - 10:27pm 10/23/24

        "I agree with what ESPN said over the weekend" but that's not what they said.. - Chrisb - 9:17am 10/24/24
        
        Oh yeah, and.. - Chrisb - 1:25pm 10/23/24
        
        Your rational and fact-based arguments are not appreciated around here, pal - Nigel Tufnel - 5:05pm 10/22/24
        A 1-loss SEC or Big 10 team who then loses 2nd game in the conference championship - WoodstockIrish - 12:45pm 10/23/24
        So what? It's a 12 team playoff [NT] - Turkish - 1:40pm 10/23/24
    - That link shows 56% [NT] - ndphysics - 12:54pm 10/22/24
      - 56% to make playoffs TODAY. Not 56% to make playoffs as 1-loss in a month - Turkish - 1:04pm 10/22/24
        Ok. I missed that part. Will see. It seems hard to believe it’s that high given - ndphysics - 1:48pm 10/22/24
        Twists are inevitable, and will almost exclusively benefit ND - Turkish - 2:47pm 10/22/24
