Game Thread: CFP Playoff Game #1: #10 Indiana @ #7 Notre Dame (12/20 ABC 7p CT)

Indiana's weak schedule is showing.

This is a laugher. No way you expand this past 6 or 8. Hopefully, tomorrow’s games provides some suspense

 

[Cruiser]

Let me remind everybody of something:
There was only one or maybe two years where we got two good semifinal games, and we never had a playoff with four teams where all three games were stellar games, usually one if not, two massive blowouts.

Despite a 10 year history of 30 games proving that point, they decided to add a bunch more games this year and a bunch more teams.

what they will add is a bunch more blowouts.

Agree , before last year the average loss in semi final games was 20 pts

They keep talking about Cignetti bringing 13 players from James Madison; like that's a good thing?

All I know is that CFB tv ratings are going to be horrible unless Tennessee vs Ohio State is a good game. Because CFB had the bright idea to go H2H vs the Steelers vs Ravens game tomorrow with Clemson vs Texas

Indiana is operating from fear in this situation.
get off the field with three points and build on it.

They should have at least 6 now if not for the pick in the red zone earlier in the game.

And JMU just won their first bowl game two nights ago without them.

Indiana players: "Yea! We got a field goal. Coach, can we go home yet?"

They chose poorly.

Not intelligent enough to let the clock run down to three seconds before calling the timeout.

Why do so many coaches have trouble managing the clock?

Looks like ND is playing JMU.

Is anyone surprised that Indiana is losing? 🙄

 

[crimsonaudio]

Hahaha @ Shane Gillis calling Saban "Alabama Jones".

Nope. This is going just like the SMU and Clemson games will go.

 

[CrimsonJazz]

Good memories of a better time.

Frankly, I'm surprised the Hoosiers are within 21 points ... against a "Meh" ND team.

ND's defensive pursuit makes IU look like a high school team.

These guys have been pushing the SOS factor all season. I love their analysis.

It will be interesting to see how this weekend’s ratings go. I consider myself an avid college football viewer, but I’m having a hard time staying engaged in this game knowing that IU has no chance offensively.
