CFP Thread

Heavy penalty.

Sure, but it's only money and the B1G is swimming in the stuff.

I wish they could have canceled that one and kept Pitt. This ND/Lambeau thing is a return for UW/ND in Soldier Field.

Barry was forever obsessed with wanting to play ND and finally got it. The dumbass.

I know a ton of B1G fans hate Notre Dame, but they are a traditional CFB power, with a great, traveling fan base, that will get a lot of eyeballs on the game in the stands and on TV, coast to coast. From the AD's perspective, what's not to like about that? More likely to beat Pitt? Sure, but also get a lot less advantages from playing that game, even if the Badgers win, which is far from a good bet right now. And it's not like Wisconsin is threatening for a spot in the CFB playoff, which, if they had just beaten Pitt instead of losing to ND, they would have been a lock for. It will never work that way for Wisconsin. Irish fans will travel to Lambeau, drop a bunch of money in the state of Wisconsin, and get a bunch of exposure for the program. That's a good game to schedule.

I just don't like the Lambeau thing.  

I didn't like our (not)home-and-(not)home in 2014 and 2016.  If we're gonna travel all the way up there and get our ass kicked and coach fired, at least let us do it in a rowdy, fun, storied college football place.  So instead it happened in the Packers' house.  Yay.  

And y'all missed the best place in the world to play a night game with the best tailgates you'd have been invited to, before that.  For what?  The Texans sterile-ass stadium?  Ugh.

Insufferable arrogance. Everyone needs to quit scheduling these asshats.

I don’t hate them.   I like whipping their butts though.

I agree. I would be much more interested in an actual home and home. There's got to be a financial interest behind using the NFL stadiums.

Season tickets don't include neutrals. Just another way to F the fans over for more money.

I dunno are Catholics allowed to blatantly lie like ND Recruiting is - asking for a friend?

they all lie, catholics aren't any worse or better. but to answer your ? $ buys indulgences, annulments, & 4.5 40s.

notre dame is fos re: their standing in the playoff relative to miami (& alabama for that matter) but i actually agree with their gripe with the acc. they're a biz partner. they should shut the bleep up & let the sitch play out.

given the mechanisms of the polls & when & whom these teams lost to the way this played out makes perfect sense to me. as is often the case with cfb circumstances exposed flaws in the system. but the committee got it right at the end of the day. we know what happened - they got in a room here at the end, saw the problem & fixed it. props to them from me for that.

that said i'd have no gripes really with either being left out to the extent that notre dame's best win is southern cal & miami's two losses are both worse than either of notre dame's losses. certainly miami deserved to be in relative to notre dame, but the day i feel sorry for a team (had they been left out) that loses to smu while coasting on an acc schedule hasn't arrived yet & likely won't anytime soon. i'm so glad they played & we have an irrefutable head to head result to blunt the hype train blowing smoke about notre dame being a threat to win it all b/c they haven't lost in three months. it's as predictable as it is asinine & tiresome.

but, bashing the Domers is SO MUCH fun

Curt Cignetti had rough news to pass along on Wednesday. Indiana expects to be without star defensive lineman Stephen Daley in the postseason.

Cignetti confirmed that Daley is dealing with a serious injury.

Daley’s injury is believed to have occurred after Indiana’s win in the Big Ten Championship Game. Video shows him dealing with an apparent injury while making his way around the stadium to celebrate with Hoosier fans.

Daley is a significant loss for Indiana as the undefeated Hoosiers try to win the College Football Playoff. Daley is second in the nation in tackles for loss with 19 on the season. He has 38 total tackles on the season, with 5.5 sacks.
