Got better because you played one team of consequence from week 3 on.

It’s arguably one of the best. It’s better than any win ND or Miami has. Bama’s resume is better than Miami’s and Miami beat ND head to head to secure the last at-large spot. Way too many butthurt ND fans over looking this aspect.

Bama has arguably the best win in the country (at Georgia) and their 2nd best win is better than any win on Notre Dame's schedule, not to mention their SOR and SOS are all better than ND's. Bama's 3rd loss came in the conference championship game....Notre Dame doesn't even play in a conference.

No. Bama is the 9 seed, Miami the 10 seed. Miami is the last at-large team in the field. Miami jumped Notre Dame after BYU lost because there was now no buffer between the two.

Last years had 2...

Miami was the last at-large team in the field. Notre Dame lost to Miami on the field. That's why Notre Dame isn't in the playoff. Acceptance is the 5th and final stage, you're almost there.

Definitely on the bargaining phase in the stage of grief.

What would have happened if Notre Dame.... Simply beat Miami? Or Texas A&M at home? Played in a conference perhaps? Didn't play a dog**** schedule the last 2.5 months out of the year?

How does Warde Manuel still have a job?

Is this the only guy to be born on base and get picked off all in the same at-bat? What an idiot.

Harbaugh got a 15 year show cause, Sherrone going to get 15 years in jail. (tic) I’d say hire Jesse Minter but pretty sure that guy is banned too. Tom Allen is available…

Guy was a donut. Michigan lucked out. They were going to lay him to go away sooner than later.

Michigan just got better. Damn.

Notre Dame is so mad at the playoff committee that they're going to take it out on Rice University.

Yep and their schedule (which already sucks) is going to get even worse if they do something dumb like leave the ACC, it's already shaping up to be terrible next year. Right now ND is guaranteed 7 games a year; 5 team ACC schedule, Navy, and USC. USC is seriously close to pulling the series from ND unless it's played early in the season. Imagine ND trying to schedule 11 new opponents every year in the future? It'd be a nightmare and I hope it happens. There's zero reason for a B10 or SEC school to ever schedule Notre Dame again with the MOU that goes into effect next year that automatically grants ND a playoff birth if they finish in the top 12.

They don’t even have the most eyeballs, not even close. Of the top 25 most watched regular season games this year, ND appeared in one game….a stand alone game on a Sunday of a holiday weekend. I hope they do something stupid like leave the ACC. Without a conference scheduling partner, they are in trouble down the road.

It’s bad

Sounds like starting DE Stephen Daley will miss the playoffs. Suffered an injury during post game celebrations. Lead the nation in TFL’s, is a significant loss. But next man up just like it’s been all year, Daley became a full time starter midway through the year after Kellen Wyatt was lost for the season due to injury. Winners win, losers opt out of the pop tart bowl.

What's the point of a) going out of your way to announce that you're blocking somebody on an internet message board only to b) respond to them less than 48 hours later? Wild

This you? I believe the old adage is "We're laughing at you, not with you"....or something like that.

Obsessed?

Notre Dame Derangement Syndrome lol. For a school that hasn't won a national title in nearly 40 years, you sure do think awful highly of yourselves.

There's a reason why they haven't won a national title in almost 40 years. They still think it's 1972 and the college football universe revolves around them. Stop scheduling them. B10 and SEC teams get nearly $100 mil/yr in media revenue, they no longer need ND for exposure for money. USC is close to telling them to pound sound as well. Let these guys play Army, Navy, and Toledo every weekend if being Independent is that important.
