Conference championship games are often a chance for teams to burnish their resumes - and if Notre Dame had lost a game this year, the absence of a game this week probably would have cost them. In any event, Notre Dame has no FCS teams on its schedule...and they already played Pitt, who Clemson is playing tonight.How nice for ND; to not be subjected to a conference championship game.
I still think it’s a farce that ND is allowed to play by a different set of rules than nearly every other program in the NCAA.
Oh, I know what happened. A big negative of the ignore feature.Did this thread disappear?
Bryant left team that week and Lawrence got concussed in the second quarter, so they had to go with RS Freshman, third string, for entire second half.Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t A&M beat LSU—the same LSU team that smacked around Georgia? And didn’t Clemson’s third string QB—a red shirt freshman—play most of the fourth quarter against Syracuse? And yet they still won.
I never said it was a joke that ND is going to this year’s CFB. I said it’s a farce that they’re treated differently. For the record, I’m in favor of making the playoffs a tournament with guaranteed slots for teams that win their conference championship game. All this nonsense about ‘the best 4 teams’ is just noise. Make it a tournament, and give guaranteed slots to the power 5 teams that win their conference championships; far more interesting.Conference championship games are often a chance for teams to burnish their resumes - and if Notre Dame had lost a game this year, the absence of a game this week probably would have cost them.

I'm not saying Clemson is a bad team, by the way - as per your other post above, their resume might be just a smidge better than Notre Dame's even if Notre Dame probably has the best win of the two (Michigan) and probably a better overall schedule. But to say it's a joke that the Irish are going to the playoff is simply ludicrous.
almost as ludicrous as the ad DAZN is using to introduce themselves to the American market...and btw The Gipper has been dead for 98 years, as long as the Irish want to live in the past, screw them and their touchdown Jeebus.Conference championship games are often a chance for teams to burnish their resumes - and if Notre Dame had lost a game this year, the absence of a game this week probably would have cost them.

They aren’t “treated” differently, they alone chose not to join a conference back in the days when several other independents chose to. Pitt and Penn State used to be independent back in the day. Further back when Army and Navy were top teams they were also independent.I never said it was a joke that ND is going to this year’s CFB. I said it’s a farce that they’re treated differently.
I stand corrected. Thanks for the assist.Bryant left team that week and Lawrence got concussed in the second quarter, so they had to go with RS Freshman, third string, for entire second half.
You didn't, but someone else here did.I never said it was a joke that ND is going to this year’s CFB.
You don't have a link to a video of this ad, do you? (I've only seen the Canelo/Buffer one...very curious to see what the company I'm working for tomorrow is doing today.)almost as ludicrous as the ad DAZN is using to introduce themselves to the American market...and btw The Gipper has been dead for 98 years, as long as the Irish want to live in the past, screw them and their touchdown Jeebus.

I think you're right. Alabama played a pretty bad half and is still only one score down - I'd bet on Bama winning by more than 7 from here.I still think this is tied early in the third.
Read the media board here. There is an excellent thread there from an employee of that network who presents games there on many different sportsWhat the hell is DAZN?
And after the disaster to end the 2nd quarter, UCF comes out with a monster touchdown to open the 3rd to get it back to a 10 point game, 38-28.
In Europe they are apparently the equivalent of the third place after ESPN and Fox here: anything in sports not picked up by those shows up. Entering the US market with a package of boxing crap that can't even attempt to garner ppv interest.What the hell is DAZN?

I wonder if there was a camera malfunction at the other end of the stadium.The Allstate Ad blocks the view from behind the goalposts.

Yeah, I'm gonna guess he's not going to last until 30-whatever the year he decides to go pro.It's like I'm seeing our post-Brady future.
Or, Saban thinks they're all-time great and wants a perfect season.Bama knows they're in. No need to show off the playbook here to get back into it
And, yeah, BB would NEVER trade up in a draft...Yeah, I'm gonna guess he's not going to last until 30-whatever the year he decides to go pro.
