given everything on the line, a weak 2nd half on both sides of the ball. Will be surprised if
ND makes the playoffs.

God help us if committee is making decisions based on garbage time

Yeah, 42-6...
with 2 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter says non-playoff team. If ND doesn't get in, nothing from the 2nd half of this game will be the reason. No committee member is going to expect a team up 36 late in the 2nd half to keep the pedal to the floor and risk injuries for meaningless points to pass the eye test they had already passed through 43 minutes of a 60 min game. I hope to God some of you have a fully stocked medicine cabinet for next weekend, because you will need it.
Re: Yeah, 42-6...
My point exactly also.
game ending 42-6 would have been better than 49 - 20 and giving up points with starters all over the
field
The committee doesn’t consider anything after 22 point victories.

I took Stanford +32.5, because of 10:30 PM kickoff.
The committee will look at first half dominance, as opposed to post midnight second half catching up on Irish body clocks.
i’d be there with you if ND didn’t still have starters in. can’t give the committee the data to kee
p you out.
We’ve done everything we can and deserve to be in.
But the 5 auto bids for conference winners may bite us. Still wouldn’t trade independence.

Cmon . If dominating the game in this fashion was not enough
Would 14 more points do it ? Allstate Predictor says 85%
just recall, ND was up 10 and then 9 against A&M. ND needs to win 11 every
year to ensure a playoff spot. MF knew the importance of the first two games and the defense looked lost in both and the offense looked like shit in game 1.
Marcus looks pissed and he should be.
