Good one, but also serious. They are dealing w big distractions and some personnel loss

We know one of those distractions isn't finals

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

ND could.

Could’ve…

And did with a less talented team against a better Georgia team
I guess we know a motivation of ESPN who owns the SEC television rights.
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
since CFB has been played.
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.

Maybe he was in a coma for the last 100 years

Well, it does appear he follows IU football

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?]
I hear ya, Chrisb, and believe your post has merit. With all due respect, and as
Jim Rome would say, Scoreboard. I love this team and this coach. Part of me feels like they are not fully prepared when the season begins. They start slowly. I'm not sure how they fix it but I believe it's fixable.
Agree. Need to stop the early season losses
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
