TexasDomer Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 OSU loses, they won’t drop past 5. Because they lost to 5. Michigan loses we move up one. GA loses to Bama, they don’t drop past 5 either Regardless, we don’t get to 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this why I am hoping Bama loses a rivalry game with Auburn this weekend. Won't matter what happens after that. And lets be honest. Michigan is not beating Ohio State lol.

TexasDomer Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 It’s theoretically possible to get in, but it requires Cinci losing, maybe badly, Bama getting beaten badly (because Bama gets the nod over anyone if it’s not a drubbing) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hawaiiirish Posted November 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) This is pretty straightforward IMO.....Michigan being ahead one spot means little,,,,They lose to ohio state and thats that...they win and OSU drops....they are NOT getting top 4 with two losses. Same is true of Bama.....they are not staying ahead of us with two losses bama loses to georgia..OSU beats michigan we will make number 4 Cinci loss to houston would also give us insurance The only monkey wrenches i see are a bama win over georgia...or a leap frog by the big 12 team. I still see us with 50/50 chance at worst If we were 5 ahead of michigan it would not mean much in the big picture we will be 5 next week.....with bama osu and cinci all still playing games they could lose why some of you think a two loss team bama or big 10 gets in ahead of us is just WRONG....that will not happen and thats a guarantee. aloha Edited November 24, 2021 by hawaiiirish 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All ND can control is beating stanford and posting 11-1. I'm happy that ND has a chance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyD Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 What if Michigan was to miraculously beat OSU and then gets beat by Wisconsin in the B10 title game! B10 would be out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYGoldenDomer Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 First and foremost, we need to take care of our own business with Stanford. It wouldn't be the first time we had high hopes going into Palo Alto the last weekend of the season with high expectations for the post season and ended up leaving California with a loss.

The only thing that keeps ND out is a Big 12 1 loss champion or ND losing to Stanford. I think the Irish’s chances are good in both scenarios. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your example is just another one in which the Irish are in definitely if it plays out that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If OK or OK St win out, the probabilities have both jumping us. Would need OK to win this week, and OK St to win the rematch. Or OK St to win this weekend, and then lose to likely Baylor. I think this is UGA's best chance to win the SEC in a long long time. Elite D. But I also know they haven't played an O nearly as talented as Bama's this year. And I've been around too long to ever count out Saban or Bama. We don't need a ton of help, but we do need some. I wouldn't be shocked if Houston were to upset Cinci either. ECU could even give them some fits. Cinci should win, but ECU is a scrappy team that keeps in games. Won't be surprised either way. If we back slide into the CFP, won't be mad. I'd prefer to stay ranked 5th, and win a NY bowl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYGoldenDomer Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 But also this. We're all talking about scenarios that need to play out to ensure we get into the friggin College Football Playoff. Guys. 3-4 months ago we were all talking how we would be happy with an 8-4 season with all the talent that graduated or got drafted. Ecstatic with 9-3 or 10-2. Here we are with a chance to go 11-1 and a shot to get into the playoff and 10-2 would now be a disappointment. What a season we ended up with, eh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NDhoosier Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I am still scared if Bama beats Georgia or Oklahoma State jumping us if they win out. If Cincy loses, then we are definitely in. A 2 loss Bama or a 2 loss OSU is not going to be ahead of Notre Dame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly but boy does that ever bring back bad memories. Probably the most talented team Kelly has had by far IMO, ruined by BVG. That team could have won the title if not for him. Okie State/OU with one loss will be close. I hope we don’t have to deal with that type of anxiety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize if it has. I truly believe that if Notre Dame goes into Palo Alto and curb stomps Stanford and Cincinnati wins out with standard wins, nd has A realistic shot of jumping Cincinnati. Cincinnati’s strength of schedule is just freaking awful and the committee knows that. If those two played right now Notre Dame would win more than likely. Notre Dame also makes them a shit load ton of money more than Cincinnati. I truly believe there is a scenario that Notre Dame Jumps Cincinnati even if they don’t lose. What say you?

Yup. Houston is a pretty good team too. IMO, a close win vs Houston would be more than fine. Now if they struggle vs ECU this weekend, and we dominate, I could see things tightening a bit. IMO though, we just need to hope for Bama to lose to UGA, OSU to win out, and the Big12 to knock each other out. None of those things are crazy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
