Only about 7 teams in the playoffs they can lose to.

Really?? You could very well be right just not seeing it. IU/OSU over GA, ND TOO 😅

Just like they won a Heisman before us! You sound like a Hoosier fan.

Especially considering the 18x ND won it before Indiana

I have no issue w/ IU. I do have an issue w/ these early season losses that makes us play catch up.

Same. I was just pointing out to ccb that his statement is "hard to believe" because it is false.

Valid. His early season losses are concerning and jump off the paper.

I'm sorry but if you consider context, this narrative is just bogus.

In his first season he lost @Tosu by 11 in his second game ever as a HC, with Tyler Buchner at QB. Then he lost the next game to a Marshall team that went 9-4, with Buchner knocked out of game with broken shoulder.

In his second season he started 4-0 before losing a nail biter literally in the last seconds to Tosu, then got upset by Louisville in game #7 past the halfway point of the season

In his third season he lost the only actually concerning early season game to NIU, in a letdown after a big road win vs A&M

This season we started out vs 2 playoff teams, with a brand new DC and first time QB and lost @Miami where we haven't won since 1977 by a last minute FG and vs A&M by 1 point off a bumbled snap by Tyler Buchner [biting my tongue, isn't it time for him to move on?]

Need to not be so conservative starting out.

I said it before. What hurt ND was Boise St., Ark, USC having below par seasons...

ND got hosed without a doubt.
But ND had no quality win opportunities to offset the loses.
Getting shut out of the playoffs was the convergence of Power 4 cronyism and bad luck
