Good Lord, somebody buy Greg McElroy a muzzle for Christmas.

McDonaugh (sp?) is really trying to keep up the hype. Did you notice how much he was praising ... a rotten (overthrown) pass play by IU?

I stopped watching. Just not good football.

I think ND has a legit chance against UGA. Their lines will hold up and I think UGA will be handcuffed on offense without Beck.

You forgot your blue font.

30 points below their season average.. SOS matters. It's not like ND is that good. IU has been exposed so far

Yeah, Indiana is getting manhandled by a so-so Notre Dame team. And they can't blame it on the cold. They live in the same cold.

Not having Beck is an issue. I dont think this game shows anything for ND. IU is just that bad.

Welcome to the new version of "playoff" football.

Notre Dame fans chanting "We want Georgia" during Kirby Smart's interview. LOL

We’ll see. UGA has struggled with mobile QBs and their defensive front is softer than usual. Tech gave them more than they wanted and ND is better than Tech, especially defensively.

One thing about it. If ND’s chance in future games depends on a FG, they are in trouble.

I never started. I knew it would be as terrible as a Marvel movie after Disney took over.

Man, Indiana really does suck.

It is hard for me to cheer for Notre Dame, but it benefits Alabama in subsequent years if the Irish pound the crap out of Indiana.
This year, the committee judged that strength of schedule did not matter, so I want to see lower seeded teams get crushed.

Yeah, I really don't care for Notre Dame, and was going to go Indiana. But after thinking about what you just said, I changed my mind and wanted ND to pound the Whossiers.

Just got home and turned the game on. The high scoring IU offense isn't so high scoring tonight. Shows what happens when the CFP committee only cares about who has the fewest losses. Alabama, Ole Miss and probably South Carolina could beat Indiana.

IMO Stockton is *better* than Beck. UGA will not struggle against ND.

Heck! Each of those teams could beat Notre Dame.

 

[Krymsonman]

Score a couple of more time ND. Put some emphasis on this win.

GEEZ!

Bama's losses to Vandy and Oklahoma are really irking me now...!

 

[KrAzY3]

I don't think anyone ever thought Indiana was a top 10 team. It was a participation trophy ranking, well they won games, against you know... teams. Give them the ranking.

Then again Army with 1 loss was ranked #22...

Bama's losses to Vandy and Oklahoma are really irking me now...!

Well, obviously the solution is to just not play a SEC schedule. It worked great for Indiana, SMU, and Boise State.
