Green Goblin 114 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) Really is a shame ND lost to Stanford and Marshall. This playoff year is going to be WIDE-OPEN. Georgia will be the favorite but not necessarily worldbeaters like a lot of Saban’s Bama teams were and after that it’s really going to be wide-open. Michigan will probably be the second best team in the field! TCU after that and it might be a struggle to find a body to put in the 4th seed if Notre Dame beats USC tonight! Compare that to the playoff field Notre Dame kept running into: Prime Saban-Alabama, Prime Dabo-Clemson and lurking behind those two was Prime Urban Meyer-Ohio State. Basically a brick wall. Luck of the Irish to have a down year this year. I’m terrified Michigan might win it all. Edited November 26, 2022 by Green Goblin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYGoldenDomer 2,046 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 This really could’ve been the year. Such a shame. All we can hope for now is a good bowl against a good opponent that we have a chance against. Gotta beat USC before anything else though. Go Irish!

Soko 128 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Georgia will crush them all come play off time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Goblin 114 Posted November 27, 2022 Author Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) I like Stetson Bennett and what he has done is amazing but I also think he’s kinda limited and I definitely think Alabama would have beat them in the championship game had their best receiver not gone down with an injury. Bama was in control while he was still in the game but their offense basically ground to a halt when he left.

coltssb 1,044 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I’m actually glad it’s not the same three boring teams it has been for the past 5-7 years. Oh look, Bama, Clemson, Ohio State. Now Georgia seems to be a staple and we’ll see with Michigan. But it is nice to see finally some change and not such a strangle hold on college football. And if Michigan were to win it(puke), it would at least bring me hope and validation that ND can to. Because Harbaugh’s recruiting has not been at the level of ND’s. Which would tell me(and I knew all along being a coach) that having the top class isn’t always important. But having a 5 star stud qb is. Go TCU!

I don’t know about UGA crushing Meatchicken though. They’re playing as good as anyone and just housed an incredible offense on their own field. I don’t know that UM can win, but I doubt they’d get crushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If USC loses against vs Utah (loses again), another boring team. If TCU loses to KSU (close game 1st time, and now on a neutral site), another boring team. And if both lose (highly unlikely), we could see 2 SEC teams, vs 2 B10 teams lol... Both games are 2.5 pts lines... Fun times.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They stress conference championships matter but in your instance, they would had put two that didn’t. I do like seeing that some parity is finally coming to the forefront. Even if it’s very small.

I can't wait till the expanded playoffs. IIRC, the Rose Bowl is now on the clock... I'm tired of the argument of "deserves" and "best"... I understand both sides. But looking forward to the "best", instead of subjective "deserves"... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSU over-performed this year, and IMO are where they belong (10-15). Regardless, good year given the mess they started with. I'd love to see TCU winning the CFP. But that's not happening lol... Hate UGA and UM (and OSU and USC). But... IMO, the best 4 teams right now are UGA/UM/Bama/OSU... not deserving, but best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure some won't like that. But I do. I'd prefer to watch inter-conference play, and especially #2s and #3s (from SEC a B10) to g against other conferences #1s... And the divide will even wider with TX and OK going to the SEC, and USC and UCLA to the B10.. PAC, ACC, and B12 will need to do something.. IMO, 2 new conferences, from the 3...

jbrown_9999 1,020 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I think that the selection committee would look to include more conferences and the 11th and 12th ranked teams might not be deserving of those spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
