I gather Notre Dame will retain its #11 seed with the playoff committee?NTconorlarkin ·
Don't put it past them. Maybe #12NTMarkHarman ·
4 teams above 11 lost. So presumably we're 7 since it wasn't Bama.NTDiscoRick ·
I was being facetious re the playoff committee’s bias against Notre Dame.NTconorlarkin ·
I figured. But it's actually a legit concern. The bias is real.NTDiscoRick ·
Indeed. It’s been that way for decades. conorlarkin ·
As long as Hunter Yurachek is in charge, there will be significant bias ndunabomber ·

4 interceptions by BearNTbuddydusty ·
We blew that game with a horrendous gameplan.NT LanceManion ·
CJ Carr had multiple opportunities to win the game, that's not on the coaches.NTiairishcheeks ·
Carr did have an off game but Ashe's defense really blew it in the first half.NT NDQuebec ·
Let's hope he makes up for it tonight.NTiairishcheeks ·
He had an off night, Denbrock shouldn't have panicked and had him throw the ball 49 times.NTTomBergin ·
They beat Arizona State last weekNTHensou ·

Gotta respect a man who loves his protocols.NTDiscoRick ·
