  1. The CFP Selection Committee said the reason Notre Dame is ranked ahead of Miami is that Miami's two losses were to unranked teams, and Notre Dame's losses were to two ranked teams.
  2. I hope Daniel Jones is OK to play Sunday. I guess if he's out, and that's not the case yet, Riley Leonard will get his first NFL start.
  3. Oh, I have no problem with it. I'm just relaying what happened. The Irish are a 35 point favorite against Syracuse tomorrow. That's about as big a spread as I can ever remember. I realize that the Orange are down to their 3rd string QB. I was hoping to see Angeli play in this one.
  4. Irish RNewsstand: Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love makes big jump in On3 Heisman PollB Jeremiyah Love, getting some Heisman love:
  5. An exceptionally nice win for the Hoosiers. Good finish.
  6. You can expect no further comment from me on this matter. It has been too exhausting and repetitive. I guess you can claim victory if you wish.
  7. I just want to state that the officiating was quite acceptable today.
  8. The Irish win at Pitt 37-15, Pitt scoring their only offensive TD on the last play of the game.
  9. The Irish schedule many years ahead, that's why a team that's schedule, say 5 years ago, may not be the powerhouse they were then. I don't understand you thinking that I don't respect the IU team. They are ranked #2 because they're good. I don't know how to prove that to you any further. Just give it up. Their schedule to begin the season was easy, compare to the Irish playing at Miami and Texas A&M. Thems facts!
  10. Purdue, under Jeff Brohm, was a serious opponent just a few years ago. Old Dominion is having an up season, but they are not traditionally that good. Oh, and my daughter is an Old Dominion grad, so I know a bit about them.
  11. This is an interesting article from a couple days ago: ACC officials could plot vengeance against Notre Dame
  12. Maybe I don't. My bad.. fcs vs fbs - Google Search
  13. Numbers always seem to be uppermost in most MVP voter's minds. No one can even come close to matching Jonathon Taylor's numbers, no matter the position. I sure hope he stays healthy the rest of the season. The RB can also make life easier for the QB too, and the offensive line is quite important to both. I
  14. All FCS teams, with some good teams in the near past. Notre Dame scheduling is completed quite a few years before the game because of their independence. In fact, the Irish are scheduled to play Auburn in 2027 and 2028, iirc. Again, all FCS opponents.
  15. I haven't been a Bear fan since the Bobby Douglass days, but I'm impressed with their progress since hiring Coach Johnson, nice name too!😉
  16. Oh, they're deep for sure, but even Price and Williams aren't Love, he's special. And Minchey is quite capable, but he's basically untested.
  17. At this point in time I would agree with you. An injury problem could slow them considerably, like Carr or Love being injured. They lost to two outstanding teams by a total of four points to begin the season. A botched extra point cost them dearly in the A&M game.
  18. Name one that hasn't been a powerhouse in the last few years! Notre Dame's independence is unique in that they have to schedule many years in advance. They are probably never going to join a conference in my lifetime at least.
  19. I have great admiration for all that Coach Cignetti has accomplished at IU, a non football school until his arrival last season. He's done wonders with the program!
  20. The Irish began this season with Miami, on the road, and Texas A&M, while IU was playing three cupcakes to begin their season. It all evens out. And of course, Notre Dame being independent makes scheduling a long time problem for them. I'm a big fan of what IU has become, and don't demean anything they've accomplished, but their first three games were no challenge, and that that's a fact.
  21. But that was last season. Second game for the Irish this season was Texas A&M. Except for a missed extra point the game was even. I have the highest respect for the IU program. Just go to that thread to see that. But IU had three cupcake games to begin the season. That doesn't negate what their entire season has become, it's just a fact.
  22. Again, their "games" against Indiana State and Kenesaw state negate the "strong schedule" argument. See my remarks about IU on the IU thread.
  23. But Indiana State and Kenesaw State were wins at home. No real cupcakes on the Irish schedule. And I want to add that IU is my second favorite team. I'm not the least negative to what they're achieved and become.
  24. Indiana State and Kenesaw State ain't nothing to brag about. No one of that caliber on the Irish schedule.
  25. Too many penalties, too many picks! I'm proud of the effort, though! I hope to see all back here in August, the Good Lord willin'!
