How is it that the #11 team is a 5.5 point favorite over the #1 CFP team? The Math doesn't add up.NT

Home field is generally worth 3 points. But this game has ACC refs. Take UM and the points.Shadow_of_the_Dome ·
With CFP going 24 teams next year, this is their last chance to screw us & demand a conferencejrdjr84 ·
Seems all he got was a correction of last year's scenario should that specific set of circumstancesTakethetrainKnute ·
I think this is accurate. The conferences exist, imho, to help the team members & maximize revenue.sweetbobbyg ·
And easily one of the Top 7 teams, ND, ranked 11?? Just setting us up for another fall from the POs.faircatchcorby ·
And easily one of the Top 7 teams, ND, ranked 11?? Both ND and Miami haven't beaten anybody.NTSteveM ·
Pardon my gleeful bias, but if Miami loses to ND, they should get dropped completely from the CFP...
IF THE bs BCS does not want to show BIAS, they damn well should bury the weed canes after the IRISHKWIRISH ·
It seems they want us in a conference. I am ready but I think conferences should be somewhat madeTHEISMANCARR ·
They may fracture by themselves...but ND has to be pushed into one before that to satisfy ESPN etc.NTTakethetrainKnute ·
Can’t knock ND out at 10 like last year. Set up to make Irish 13 or lower if they do not win out.TakethetrainKnute ·

Message is clear, join a conference. Share your dough with us or you're getting screwed.NTDiscoRick ·
Yep, below the fake veneer of healthy athletic competition, the long knives are always unsheathed...SteveM ·
"play...the same shit schedule." Other cynics (realists?) have suggested that with a 24 team CFP.SteveM ·
The whole thing is a joke. Conferences need eliminated, and central scheduling to eliminate biasNTDiscoRick ·
Even if we beat Miami, any other loss means we could be in serious trouble with our schedule.NTDadUdaMan4 ·
I don't think I have ever seen a team with 3 losses by a total of 8 points over a year and a halfTHEISMANCARR ·
last year wasn’t motivation enough. the coaching staff is wasting the best back-to-back rostersWestCoastIrishFan ·
You can park at St Mary’s or Holy Cross. Dump the car, nice walk through or around campus.sweetbobbyg ·
Great Option. Not a bad walk, but there is also a shuttle if you are inclined to take it.NTShadow_of_the_Dome ·

They have secondary issues, but I don't know that we want to get into a shootout, so need to runLanceManion ·
ND should have demonstrated immediate dominance of the LoS over Navy. Only "they" chose not to.NTSteveM ·
It is a mute point, if ND loses we aren't likely to beat any team we play in the playoff anyway.FoolBear ·
"Thank you Dr. Hensou...I will NOT make that misteak again!" Now that's clever...and rich! Touché!NTSteveM ·
Nope. They’ll find a way to keep them at 13 or lower. If you “leave a doubt” ESPN, the CFP…TakethetrainKnute ·
ND does NOT want any favors. They want to kick ass and TAKE THE BCS playoff invite...NO DOUBTNTKWIRISH ·
Fans are customers, players/coaches are paid. You are grateful when the product is satisfactory.DiscoRick ·
the d has gone backwards since 2024 with a lot of the same and better personnelNTWestCoastIrishFan ·
This is correct. Carr is good, not great. He has not really markedly improved over last year.oldirish ·

Defer and trust your defense. If they go 3 and out and we score, it puts more pressure on them tomichiganirish ·
You need a solid defense to win it all. Better show it here from the start. I would defer...NTTakethetrainKnute ·
Good show. Makes a lot of Ash haters look silly. Also confirms that players must self-correct.NTHensou ·
We have done well with scripted drives in the past, so that could work. Plus it will energize theLanceManion ·
Well, for this one game he was. And it could have cost us the playoffs. They were playingfaircatchcorby ·
So was that first half something I dreamed about. You and I both know MF called the 2nd half D.NTfaircatchcorby ·
