@EmmanuelAcho@TexasFootball Defense was not your problem. 36th in Total Def, 23rd in Scoring Def, 10th in Rushing Def. The Delta between a PK defense and a WM defense is small.
You guys need to fix your offense. And that starts with your play caller and QB.
@TheBearsBurner You're not the only team to move the ball on us, but not score. That's the strength of this defense. They make you drive down the field, contesting EVERYTHING, making you play flawless offense on each drive. If you do, you score. If you don't...you get what you got last time
@MrOhio So...no one is saying it's a collection of the 12 best teams. That's not how it's designed. That's not what "THEY" want.
It's the 10 or 1 1 best teams (depending on outcome), plus one or two of the smaller schools so they can say they were given a shot.
That's it. Period.
@TheSharpeWit Now this I can get behind.
The process is way more important than the final product.
We need to devise a process that takes out as much wiggle room as possible.
And it needs to be transparent. Make them vote on national TV. This cloak and dagger crap is for the birds.
@CoachD178 ND schedule last ten games:
Total defense
Purdue - 118
Arkansas - 121
Boise State - 36
NC State - 115
USC- 47
BC - 127
Navy - 92
Pittsburgh - 40
Syracuse - 125
Stanford - 105
That's seven teams in the bottom 1/4th of all football teams in defense.
@J5_Sports1 “with no logical explanation being provided as to why” is a flat out lie.
The committee has been asked just about every week why ND was ranked ahead of Miami, and they told everyone because they weren’t directly compared (meaning not in the same Tier).
@SSN_Alabama How is that disrespect? They wouldn’t do that at Kent State or Temple. They did it at Alabama because a game there means something.
It’s about as big a compliment as you can get.
But some kids just feel the need for fake ire to “motivation”.
@bruce_straughan Team A plays the following ranked teams:
1,2,3,4,5,1130,131,132,133,134 Avg strength of 67
Team B plays: 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72 Avg strength of 66.5
About even in avg strength, but one plays CLEARLY a much harder schedule.
Focus on the tough games.
@BYUbluThru How was BYU penalized for getting prison raped in the CCG?
You weren’t in the playoffs to fall out of. So yo can’t lie and claim they were harmed there.
They were moved down one position. That’s it. It did nothing to them.
Had you won, you would have been in. Period.

@JerkinLeeroy@orangebloods_ Is anybody else playing in a bowl game? Is Duke, or Vandy, or Texas who feels like they got slighted playing in their bowl game?
And the bigger issue isn’t that ND turned down a bowl, it’s the WHY the did. Because they didn’t get their way. That’s just so so so wrong.
