UCF deserves a shot before Notre Dame?

Also, we all knew Notre Dame didn’t belong.

Both times.

Hold up

People ripping on ND tonight saying they didn't "deserve" to be there - bullshit.

5 common opponents w Clemson - and arguably they did better than the Tigers. Clemson did better v Wake, Pitt and FSU - but ND did better v VT and esp v the Syracuse team that probably should have beaten Clemson at Death Valley.

Maybe Georgia can not lose to LSU next year

Yeah, given the agreed-upon "rules," ND deserved to be in.

The "committee" doesn't select based on what was agreed upon though.

Close enough. ND was much more of a sure pick to me than was bOOmer.

Agreed.

Four teams and a smokey room of milkdrinkers does not a playoff make

I’m sticking to my guns here. ND didn’t belong in the playoff ahead of a team like UGA. And, at this point, it appears to be an annual riritual of burnishing the golden dome only to see that the polishing eventually rubs the gold plate off a flimsy tin roof.

Why even play the games? Just vote in August for the champion.

Save a lot of injuries.

Sure they did - zero losses. Had UGA not lost to LSU by 20, then maybe the discussion is different - but given their schedule and zero losses, ND was clearly the #3 pick based on results on the field.

The question in my mind was team #4 - tOSU, OU or UCF

Not a fan of ND, but bashing them is silly - we've seen blowouts every single year - it happens - especially so with this year's bowls

I can't agree. One of us will have a better argument after the LSU
game - and LSU is just middle of the pack in the SEC West.

As I see the difference UCF plays in the minor leagues and ND plays in
the major leagues. That said, there was little doubt in my mind that
Clemson would find ND easy pickings.

UCF needs to beat some of the royalty if it wants to live in the
palace.

A better playoff system would be choosing the four teams whose fans cry the most.

Great, an all sec playoff every year.

Never met a group with such a colective case of smallman-itus.

even now Georgia has more losses than ND.

You should read more of the Ohio State posts. I’m not seeing too much crying from sec fans.

In article <77347363-9244-4105...@googlegroups.com>,

I agree that teams play a full conference schedule,
one or zero bowl games and we discuss it for the
next few months.

I’m not on twitter but I’m sure you can find fans of any school who are able to find something to whine about. On this group the school with the loudest crybabies is Ohio State, followed by UCF.
