When the 10/10 hot girl turns you down, you look in the mirror and “settle” for the 8…

If you suddenly think you’re too good for the 8, then prepare yourself for a lifetime of lonely nights watching HBO after dark.

That's a sad story. Sorry that happened to you.

Eh, over time I’ve learned that the 10s are usually high maintenance.

You made the playoff last year after losing to at home to a mid major.

Save the crocodile tears.

And the Irish whipped up on IU, Georgia and Penn State.  Good luck to Irish, no tears here.  Have fun watching Tulane and James Madison.

It's widely accepted that Notre Dame falls somewhere between 1-6. Unless of course you're Paul Finebaum, the governor of Alabama, 90% of SEC country and a few posters on this board whose only aim is to troll this site and antagonize. 

This really isn't even about the fact that Notre Dame could have won the title this year and now the champion will have an * next to their name. It's about the deception conveyed by the committee leading up to the final day. The CFPS is a "farse and a waste of time" until the final week.

I like Tim Brando 

I like Tim Brando's Message 

What if JMU or Tulane or Both win?   then what's the narrative for those throwing stones at them for simply showing and playing and winning enough games to qualify under the current system 

[23andCounting]

This is great. More haters today than there were yesterday. If the Irish win the championship next year, as many are expecting, the college football world will lose their minds. Notre Dame derangement syndrome at it's best. 

Arrogant Notre Dame reaches unfair agreement with College Football Playoff

What the hell is this nonsense?

It won’t ease the pain this holiday season for Fighting Irish fans, but if the exact same scenario from 2025 plays out, Notre Dame will be in the 12-team College Football Playoff in 2026. ‘Farce And Total Waste Of Time’: Notre Dame Pulls Incredibly Weak Sore Loser Move Amid College Football Playoff Drama)

 

According to Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua, the memorandum of understanding the Irish signed with the College Football Playoff guarantees the program an automatic berth in the field if it finishes ranked in the top 12, beginning with the 2026 playoff — via Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports.

Bevacqua added that Notre Dame would also receive an automatic bid if ranked in the top 13 should the playoff expand to 14 teams. The current memorandum of understanding, however, only applies to 12- or 14-team formats and would not guarantee a spot if the field grows larger than 14.

I get so sick and tired of the Notre Dame bias that exists in college athletics, especially college football, it’s sickening. And now it’s so bad that we now have them being the only school with a … playoff clause? What the hell is that?

I’m so happy Notre Dame was the first team out of the College Football Playoff this season, couldn’t have happened to a better university.

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.

It's not what I think, it's what everyone else thinks. Haven't won in 40 years, yet everyone is still obsessed with them.

Seems like it. Fans from all 50 states calling for Notre Dame to join a conference. Fans from all 50 states upset with Notre Dame's new contract with the CFPS. Sounds like an obsession with me. No other team gets this kind of attention.

Yeah, crazy stuff. Some guys tout teams that have had 2 good years out of the last 60 like they’re the biggest dynasty ever to hit NCAA football! Certainly deranged!

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?

I would say the obsession with ND, is the one staring back at you when you look in a mirror.  No one else has dog cussed people and resorted to name calling.  That type of behavior is irrational and screams obsession.
