- Devastating. A first round talent. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 7:09pm 10/7/24
- not throwing in the towel on this year, but next year has been the year I've been pointing to for - WestCoastIrishFan - 3:05pm 10/7/24
  - Wait till next year… - WoodstockIrish - 8:16am 10/8/24
  - Not throwing in the towel either. Next year's talent and depth does look excellent. - ndunabomber - 3:18pm 10/7/24

Don't worry, boys. Riley's going to run the plays that he likes. We're all good. [NT] - Irishize - 1:06pm 10/7/24 (2) [View All]
- Sounds like it’s time to sit back and collect the kudos. Where is his mom, btw? [NT] - LanceManion - 2:14pm 10/7/24

Bama has 4 ranked teams still on schedule, ND 0. If Bama goes 9-3 v. ND 11-1 who gets the invite? - SteveM - 11:55am 10/7/24 (19) [View All]
- Eye roll. [NT] [IMAGE] - BaronVonZemo - 7:10pm 10/7/24
- ND - The Irish always get the benefit of the doubt. It’s all about the $$$s [NT] - Shadow_of_the_Dome - 5:40pm 10/7/24
- No way they take a three loss team over a one loss team that are both Power 5. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 1:31pm 10/7/24
  - If it is ND vs Alabama, it will take less than a minute for the committee to decide. - D2 - 4:06pm 10/7/24
    - That's not my assumption, that is my parameter. If we go 11-1 we are in over a 3 loss power 5 team. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 8:35pm 10/7/24
    - You're presenting a false choice. 7 non-conference champions make it, so it won't be "ND vs Bama" - Turkish - 4:49pm 10/7/24
      - And you think that is fair - WoodstockIrish - 9:36am 10/8/24
        You're assuming the "best" teams will only lose to each other, which last week proves isn't the case - Turkish - 10:51am 10/8/24
        Georgia plays Texas in a couple weeks while we’re probably playing a service academy - WoodstockIrish - 5:56pm 10/9/24
      - "Will there be 7? No way" Good point, but ND's schedule is so weak... - SteveM - 6:03pm 10/7/24
      - We'll see.... - D2 - 5:08pm 10/7/24
- ND goes 11-1 and they’re in. Not sure what seed but they’ll be in. [NT] - MuskyTommy - 1:30pm 10/7/24
- With 3 SEC losses Bama might not finish in the top 4 in the SEC. - Curly1918 - 1:23pm 10/7/24
- Balderdash. ND is not getting left out with one loss, full-stop, and they almost certainly host - Turkish - 12:32pm 10/7/24
  - You think this current team deserves to be in the CFP playoffs? - WoodstockIrish - 8:38pm 10/8/24
- They would both go to the Duke's Mayo Bowl in all probability! [NT] - irishslovak - 12:01pm 10/7/24
  - Isn’t that considered a lost luster bowl? [NT] - whatsamataU - 12:35pm 10/7/24
    - Yeah, hold the Mayo. [NT] - Irishize - 1:02pm 10/7/24
      - SC is going to get their turkey ass handed to them again this week! [NT] - irishslovak - 1:09pm 10/7/24

- Tells you all you need to know. Can’t be a playoff contender with those numbers. They are also - Frank L - 3:27pm 10/8/24
- The OLine is the main problem - wrdomerson - 9:34am 10/8/24
  - 50-50 between Leonard and the line, but your point is valid. [NT] - Frank L - 3:28pm 10/8/24
- RL will not cause anyone any sleepless nights with his arm -- other than Notre Dame. - humbaba - 1:40pm 10/7/24
- The bigger concern is why RL was the primary focus of Freeman. He's a RB who happens to throw some - WestCoastIrishFan - 12:08pm 10/7/24
  - He threw for nearly 3000 yards at Duke as a sophomore, and more than Quinn or Book in Yr 2 starts - Turkish - 12:40pm 10/7/24
    - Lets not pretend he's either Quinn or Book. He's not [NT] - ColeyO - 1:52pm 10/7/24
      - Love both QBs. Interesting fact, Brady Quinn only beat 1 team that finished Top 25 his last 2 years - Turkish - 3:55pm 10/7/24
        I bet playing under ty and Weis had nothing to do with that. [NT] - Chrisb - 9:41pm 10/7/24
        
        a foreshadowing of his NFL career. An equal athlete to RL but with a better arm. He would have - WestCoastIrishFan - 5:05pm 10/7/24
        Playing for the Cleveland Browns killed his career - ndunabomber - 6:00pm 10/7/24
  - He could get in? It’s a mystery on several QB recruits why we offer them and why he can’t keep them. - whatsamataU - 12:28pm 10/7/24
- He's entirely correct. - ndunabomber - 11:48am 10/7/24
- Surprised to hear it’s not worse than 30 or 40. Wonder what it is if we take out Purdue [NT] - ndphysics - 11:11am 10/7/24
  - Good point. Use the geometric rather than arithmetic mean in calculing performance metric averages. [NT] - SteveM - 11:21am 10/7/24
    - Yes. Let's cherry pick just Riley's performances to support our argument. What if we take out NIU? - Turkish - 12:53pm 10/7/24
      - Are u suggesting NIU was our only ‘off’ game? [NT] - ndphysics - 4:08pm 10/7/24
        I'm suggesting that removing 20% of a sample size to bolster an agenda is poor form - Turkish - 4:24pm 10/7/24
        I will hope u r right but to me the Purdue game was an outlier. NIU looked a lot like CMU offensive - ndphysics - 4:48pm 10/7/24
