Potential final ranking prognostication

[mfleck]

If Ty is injured they are sure keeping it quiet because he has never been listed on any injury report. Hopefully with 2 weeks off, no classes and plenty of time to rest, recover, watch film, and prepare we can get back to what we were earlier in the year. Also, college football will be just fine without Notre Dame, I still think every power 4 team should refuse to schedule them unless they join a conference.

I agree with everything you said, but you know that’s not how this works. Attorneys and politicians will get involved.

They may well regardless - at least force them. Bowing an unforced knee to these clown schedules isn't the answer.

They will never join a conference because the PTB keep bending over backwards for them. I hope they have an FSU type fall next year.

I get that argument, and give them zero shot at winning a championship . However, for two reasons. One, they are in the FBS, so they should have a path to a championship Two, it avoids inevitable law suits . The alternative is to break away inside the NCAA or outside with a league of their own.

I vote for option 2.

If true shame on the SEC and B1G for acquiescing to this nonsense.

Then we will have same type of unintended Consequences of Lawyers and politicians getting involved with everything else in CFB.
Didn’t we get the group of 5 rule because of senator Hatch or some other politician threatening to scrutinize the 4 team playoff? We should separate the playoffs from the G5 by separating the P4 from the G5. My 8 year old grandson understands that.

I think Notre Dame is taking this a bit hard....someone call a waaaambulance lol

Idiotically short sighted considering how much the 15 practices can mean. It’s like having a mini spring camp.

Been saying this for literally a decade- plus...

But I refuse to cow to threats, especially when they come from those who are truly, objectively undeserving.

So Notre Dame wants the money and prestige of playing College football without acknowledging there would not be a Notre Dame football without other teams.

Many stakeholders across college sports — perhaps even some in the CFP selection committee room — have expressed public and private belief that the Irish should join a league.

On Sunday, Bevacqua strongly pushed back against that notion. Notre Dame is one of the country’s most valuable brands, holds a lucrative independent television contract with NBC and has one of the richest apparel deals with Under Armour.

“We love being independent in football. It’s part of our DNA,” Bevacqua said. “We have zero intention of changing that. It’s part of who Notre Dame is. Quite frankly, this further cements our independence. We are out there fighting for ourselves. That’s something we accept.”

Their schedule next year is an even bigger joke than this year.

I thought at one time they played and ACC schedule even though they are not really an ACC team. I only see 6 ACC games. I wonder if those are assigned by the ACC or do they just get to pick and choose?

Their deal with the ACC is 6 teams.

Google Gemini did a much better job:

Sidenote: One thing that went unnoticed yesterday was North Dakota State lost yesterday.

Holy crap! Now that is an upset. I didn't think anything could stop the Bison...

I'm hoping for Montana and Montana State to meet in the title game!

Is this actually true? I can't believe the conferences would sign off on something like this and have one of their teams bounced.

North Dakota State would probably go 10-2 against Notre Dame's schedule next year. It is pathetic.

He's a legit reporter and I think the article says he got that information from Notre Dame IIRC
