I know Miami beat Notre dame, but I’m not sure it’s right to put them ahead of ND. Start of the season ND? Sure. But not anymore.
Note Dame fan not sure team that beat Notre Dame is actually better than Notre Dame

I have heard time and again that bowl practices are valuable because they are extra reps and that now you need them more than ever. That combined with the fact that bowl weeks usually involve good food, tours, and free shit for the players, just sounds like undo punishment on the guys because they want to make a shitty point.

I'm sure all those 5th year seniors are THRILLED with this decision. Bitch out in your final year and don't even get to leave South Bend in the dead of winter for a Bahamas Bowl....

Way to increase that recruiting resume!!

Notre Dame is the third program to decline a bowl game in the current cycle, so far. Iowa State and Kansas State have declined to play, given that they’re undergoing coaching changes; both teams will be fined $500,000 by the Big 12 for doing so.


well, at least they won't get fined

Notre Dame is a different team now than it was at the beginning of the season. Put them head to head again and watch what happens.


I mean yes...

If the back half of my team's schedule was the string of such Juggernauts as

Boston College
Navy
Pittsburgh
Syracuse
Stanford

I would probably think my team is somehow better than when they were playing actual football teams too

On another note, I do love that we completely ruined A&M’s season. 1. Kept them out of the SEC title game, 2. They then landed the 7th seed instead of getting a bye even if they lost the SEC title game, 3. Have Miami in round one instead of a G5 bye week, and 4. Even if they make the 2nd round, Ohio State will man handle them. Delicious.

Cool. Let's ignore the first 3 weeks of Alabama's season as well. Wave bye-bye to that Florida St loss and Alabama's season all of a sudden becomes top 5 worthy.

Why not just ignore all the games? The faggot Catholics are a different team today than yesterday let’s just rank them first! Makes total sense.

nothing matters but feelings!!!!!

Anybody remember how some thought going to a 12 game playoff would alleviate all the drama?

drama wont go away till a single super conference divides the country into divisions

We were the 5th or 6th most watched team in the country this year; I'll be damned if I want to go back to playing in Lawrence, Manhattan, and Lubbock again.
