All of this has happened before.
All of this will happen again.
ND is going to get crushed by Alabama
Playoff really needs to expand ASAP. 8 teams, P5 conference champs, highest ranked G5, 2 at large. Profit.
edit; based off just rankings, an 8 team playoff this year would look like
Alabama
Oregon
Clemson
Oklahoma
Ohio St
Cincinnati
ND
Tex AM

Honestly Cincinnati should've been the 4. But the committee isn't about to do the right thing.
So it goes between ND and A&M. ND beat Clemson, UNC, and BC/Pitt who are both over .500. A&M beat Florida and Auburn, no other wins were over .500+ teams. Their loses are roughly "equal", so going by quality wins I think ND had the edge. The Irish are fortunate Carolina destroyed Miami last week.
On a neutral field maybe A&M blows ND out of the building. But based on their (shitty) criteria, the committee thought ND did more through their season. If the SEC mid tier hadn't completely fallen apart this year A&M almost certainly gets in.

As both a UCF and WCW fan, this was perfect.
Fuck the CFP Committee.

The two best teams in football right now? Yep. Don't really see how it could be argued otherwise
Of course it was going to fall apart. With a conference only schedule there was a ZERO SUM game with wins and losses. Auburn and LSU would have winning records as would others in a normal season where OOC was allowed.. Two of ND wins are against teams who only have a winning record because they got to play a non-conference game.
Ohio State was the biggest travesty because they ranked them so high without playing a game. It was a self-fulfilling prophecy. Whole thing is a sham and no one is allowed in outside of 7 teams.

Im genuinely shocked they put ND in, at least A&M can claim they arent the same team that they were when they got blasted, it might not be true but they can still claim it.
ND are what they are, a team that isnt competitive with #2.

I see them losing by 28 or so. Would be worse but Alabama will want to rest/protect players.
I'm really tired of them getting so much credit for beating a Clemson that didn't have their QB's on offense and defense. There is a reason why they got the tar knocked out of themselves last night.
I knew it was bad, just from memory.
It is so much uglier seeing it laid out on the table like this.
this clemson v tOSU game sure has a lot of interesting drama leading into the game.
last years game
Dabo ranking buckeyes 11
Ryan Day locker room video
i dont know if the game lives up to last year's or is even a good game. All depends on Fields, tOSU defense getting pressure and covering wr's and the Buckeyes running game shortening the game.

I'm afraid we're going to get ran out of the stadium. 6 games isn't enough to find the consistency and defensive improvements we typically get in a normal 12 game season. Our defense usually gets better after about game 8 and stiffens up and gels. We don't have that this time.
Although Sermon is peaking at the right time but I'm afraid Fields is more of a liability now since he will try to force things for payback. He needs to use his feet more this time around and stretch their defense for us to even have any hope of a chance.
