A modest proposal. Let’s just cut the BS and let Bama and Clemson play for the natty on1/1.
OSU hasn’t played enough games.
Both ND and A&M are unworthy opponents.

Under the old BCS system, that is exactly what would have happened
I never had a single problem with the old BCS. Very rarely did it ever fail to match up the obvious two top teams. I wish they had kept the old BCS with only one change - pick the two teams from among the bowl game winners.
An "and one game" after the bowls is essentially what we have now
And I was never a fan of it then and nor am I now
An 8-team playoff that would put us against A&M would also be better

Yup....games we would all enjoy more would be...
ND vs A&M or OSU
Coastal Carolina vs Okie
Cincy vs OSU
Fla. vs OSU
No one at this point cares about the semis....but we will all watch the Clemson/OSU game until we can't stand it.
We could eliminate a lot of teams from March Madness with this approach.

By the way after waking up you still think we are better than UF right now?

They did better than I expected, that is for sure. We are still better. They lost to LSU.
But, Clemson showed how to beat us: Keep Book in the pocket; stop the run. Bama's game plan is already made for them. Don't bother trying to sack Book; just keep him in the pocket.
Uhm LSU is much better with Johnson. You think we can put up 46 on Bama?
I don’t.
Different game. Easier to pull an upset in b ball.

Fine, I’ll say it. Not that I’m rooting for this, but what if Bama has a COVID outbreak?
ND could keep it within 14, maybe? Again, not that I’m rooting for it to happen but if it did, I hope they are all asymptomatic.
Hmm, maybe an Auburn fan can pay their fans back for what they did to Boogers Tree.

But I really want to see the Buckeyes humiliated
And I want our lads to have an opportunity to play against the best. I’m sure they want this as well.
Agree. Wish I had a good argument for why ND should get a shot, but I don't.

We deserve number 4 more than any other team that didn't make the first 3. We do have two quality
wins against say a Clemson team that is number 4 without Lawrence and the rest of their injured players and against a North Carolina number 13 team with a high powered offense.
Double Agreed.
Let Oklahoma take the fourth slot. No replays of the top 4. ND could play Florida or Northwestern in a Bowl.
those two are so far ahead of the rest of the country, it's scary. It's those two and then a small
group about 2 rungs down the ladder and then everyone else. I'd rather see A&M get in, ND gets pissed and wins a New Year's bowl game.
Re: those two are so far ahead of the rest of the country, it's scary. It's those two and then a small
Alabama and Clemson ... the elites! Notre Dame may well be the best of the rest ... which would be quite an honor!. Opt out of the playoffs and prove their worth or lack of it in a bowl game.
We don’t often agree, but I’m with you.

That would be a fun match up. ND/Bama.....not so much.

I’m with you. Bama would manhandle us like the 2012 Championship. I honestly hope we are left out.

Agreed. clearly the two best teams
