Does this ND loss "color" their odds of making the playoffs in the near future?

I suspect it might.  They are getting trounced.

Well ND did 4 points better than OSU did last time against Clemson.

For variety's sake it would be good. Perfect matchup for a late Monday night game. ESPN will KILL IT in the Alabama and South Carolina markets.

No offense to anyone, but why does OU even bother putting 11 guys out there on defense?

That's my thing with the "expand the playoff" crowd.....we're already routinely getting blowouts in these semifinals.....you want to see these top seeds play worse teams?!?!?

I got a good one. The wife says "He only won the Hypesman because he never saw a defense all year."


Definitely a keeper.

Bama just rolling like it's practice....OU doesn't have a yard.  Ugh.  Why did anyone think it'd be otherwise?

We were optimistic that eventually we'd get good semifinals.  We got one in 2014 and one in 2017.  That's it.

Bama may be that good.  At least ND hung in there for a while.

Bama may scorch Clemson.

Yeah, I'd love to bash ND, and while they didn't have a shot, that one was closer than the scoreboard indicated.
