the point I made above Coach....I forgot about the ACC connection as well, but its the SEC that truly gets the love.  Herbstreit is the worse in his comments, including social media for the SEC.  He knows where his bread is buttered.

Much better with Notre Dame out of the way. Like I said, it's really unfair to the Hoosiers that they'll never even know if they're the best team in their own state. Notre Dame checks off all the boxes. Anyone with an IU over 68 can see that. 

Honestly? I'm trying to get banned. So don't take offense dickhead.

Help. I'm seeking a 12 month ban. Can you make this happen? 

If you lack such self discipline in this online community and are asking to be banned due to Adults who you do not know choosing to leave a team you love out of a made for TV and Paid for TV 12 team tournament then we have some serious issue sir.   Be angry, sure, asking to be banned and cursing is just sad man,  good grief pal

Please explain how joining a conference helps ND? 

How so? So is Ole Miss

As stated, yes, they got invited to the TV tournament, and already named their perm replacement so different scenarios

Been saying it for months, it will come down to suits and Epsn, no matter how often they claim it wouldn't.   Now am I surprised that they chose to eliminate one of the largest fan bases in America in lieu of the conf ties, yes I am, but as pointed out in nausea around here, many of the criteria (and I am on the side of the Criteria is bogus) was not kind to ND, and they paid the price this year.  

 

I am with someone, I think I saw on the timeline, may have been BAIRD at Indy Star, time to get Athletic Directors out of the committee and how bout some actual data analysis type folks and understanding of a computer system

Here is a stat for you number lovers...

Ryan Day is 82-11 at OSU.

He is 78-3 in games decided by more than 1 possession.

He is 4-8 in games decided by 1 possession.

You get these guys to the fourth quarter and you've got a real shot.

BYU had a better resume than ND (and Miami)…..

 

Every  team in the top 20 of the CFP had a better resume.

I agree with you, but getting them to the 4th quarter is no easy task. They never trailed in the 2nd half until the IU game so 12 teams failed to even play them close. One possession games for Day as far as his record goes, eh, it is a crapshoot in close games.

BYU keeps coming up as being left out. Sure they lost just two games. Sure it was to the same team. What people are not mentioning is that BYU got SMOKED in both. They scored just 7 in each game, and in the two games, gave up 63 points.

I think, in context, Swarbrick’s remark did not imply anything nefarious. He simply meant if Notre Dame’s path to a national championship faced significant obstacles that conference members did not, the issue would be reevaluated. IMO, it does.

Under the current format, ND can never be an automatic qualifier, and can never get a first round bye. Now, it appears the Committee is placing increased emphasis on participation in conference championship games, making them “no lose” propositions. Even if conference championship games go away - which they are likely to do with an expanded playoff - there are plenty who believe that Notre Dame is able to manipulate its schedule in a way that provides an advantage, which they could not do to that extent if they were members of a conference. And I firmly believe that line of thinking was a factor in the Committee’s disappointing, but understandable, decision.

For those previously opposed, there are certainly more reasons to consider conference membership after this season. The ACC deal was good for the BK years, mostly, but it gives ND nothing now. I think that conference championship games being no-risk propositions isn’t great for the sport—although totally foreseeable for two leagues.

The optics of this just keep getting worse...

"Pete Bevacqua said the captains and other players said they couldn't imagine taking the field as a shell of the team that went 10-2" as it pertains to skipping the bowl game.

yes, but they only lost 1 regular season game to TTU.  They lost a 2nd time to TTU in the conference championship, which again was an extra game.  They were held accountable for the 2nd loss, and Bama also pounded in their conference championship for a 3rd loss was not held accountable.  

I am not a proponent of BYU...but I do believe the committee should be consistent about the impact of the conference championship game.  Does it matter or not?  Is it a plus to make it to the conference championship or is it considered a fail if a team makes it and loses?

Welcome to the new world of Professional Collegiate Football 

 

There is a reason there is a flag football game called the Pro Bowl. 

Pro Athletes in the sport of football know the risk and they accept the risks and now accept risks bc there is $$ attached.  

Professional Collegiate athletes are not going to put their bodies at risk for a swag bag from the sponsors of any exhibition game.

Which gets back to the committee and how they pigeon holed themselves last year keeping SMU in after their loss and continualling saying that a loss in the bonus game will not factor, but somehow that loss gave Miami a boost......s

They justified it with Bama's win over UGA in the regular season IN Athens.

All top rated players have insurance policies out on their bodies anyways. 

 

And he still got paid and drafted and all that.  But understand that sentiment 

 

Also.  Bc of Dummy addiction to exhibition bowl games.   PERHAPS just maybe.  We can see what FCS does with 16 teams.   Now that these bowls are losing some power 

 

 

 

 

 

[Coach Nowlin]

So the argument's always been. You had to protect these bowl games at all cost 

 

That's why you couldn't do a playoff system like the FCS does. .. or division 1Aa

 

I think now more than ever you can reach that again 

 

Get home games for the higher seeds.... In round 1 

 

Then for round two if you want to make it a bowl game situation......

 

Quarterfinals you can do home games again or second tier bowl locations 

 

Semifinals 

Rose bowl 

Fiesta bowl 

 

Championship game rotates 

Stadiums in Vegas Indianapolis Glendale sofi 

Etc
