Heck! Each of those teams could beat Notre Dame.

Thompson High School could beat Indiana

"To be honest, this game's been a little bit of a dud," said Captain Obvious.

Maybe they'll keep em from a garbage score.

I don’t think the Irish wins the national championship. Oregon is significantly better than the other teams, imo. Should win it. But, God help us if the Irish do somehow win this. It will be insufferable. The GOAT retiring ruined UM’s hype train.

Another team that doesn't belong but because they are the media darling they are, they played three teams with a pulse, won by 5, and blown out by the other two, yea they belonged, they should've been seated 12th if they did belong

 

[Rocky Mtn Bob]

Time for another INT.

The committee’s (and ESPN’s) dream is a Texas vs. ND national championship game

 

[Power Eye]

IMO Stockton is *better* than Beck. UGA will not struggle against ND.

UGA was very guarded with Stockton against Texas and didn’t let him stretch the field. The one time he did, he threw an interception. They’ll have to throw some down the field against ND. I think Beck was a victim of having below average receivers this year.

 

[BamaBoySince89]

The announcer said the field was wide open. Man you can’t make this stuff up

 

[Rocky Mtn Bob]

Time for another INT.

Hmm. That didn't age well....

 

[Krymsonman]

Geez, Notre Dame looks like they're Clemsoning.

 

[4Q Basket Case]

Is anybody else worn out with Cignetti?

GOOGLE ME, when he’s winning. Crying about officials when he isn’t.

Google lasts a long time, Curt. When you play a high school schedule, you might think about measuring your remarks until you’ve beaten somebody who actually qualifies as one of the big boys.

Paved the way for the Irish to make the final four.

I watched for a while, then switched over to the St. John's at Providence basketball game - which was a really good game until Petino's squad won on a buzzer beater. Came back to the football game and it was still a typical B1G type of plodding bore. Maybe we'll see some good football tomorrow, in the FCS playoffs, lol.

 

[carder24]

I stopped watching. Just not good football.

I didn't start

 

[carder24]

Indiana's weak schedule is showing.

Half the games are going to be like this, just checked in on the score, this cfp is/will be terrible

 

[BamaMan84]

ND needs to be in a conference period. They shouldn't even be in a 12 team playoff for that reason.

Listening to someone that doesn't understand how SoS is calculated is always fun...

 

[carder24]

Man, Indiana really does suck.

Great story for them this season, but selections have to go beyond and better than this seasons mess, that team deserved to be in a quality bowl against comparable match up, just not playoff. Like the other handful that shouldn't be in

 

[russtang]

What a dufus. Does he hear what he's saying?
