Survive Saturday night in Blacksburg, and Notre Dame’s biggest remaining tests could be a road trip to Northwestern and a neutral-site game against Syracuse. Of course, if the Irish are in the top four, another power conference gets squeezed out Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, Arlington, Texas (Dec. 29, 4 p.m. or 8 p.m. ET, ESPN)CFP semifinalist vs. CFP semifinalist Alabama vs. Notre Dame Capital One Orange Bowl, Miami Gardens, Fla.

row_33 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Good, adds to fan interest and amusement they have already won two hyped games easily on the national scene, so they have earned a playoff spot with 0 or 1 loss (if that works out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Going to be a tough game Sat night ... but I agree they have had some impressive wins the QB change was big Edited October 4, 2018 by YoloinOhio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make the last time the 2 teams met for the title look like a nail biter. If it happens, it would probably be a good idea for you to not watch.

Different world with Coach Saban, wouldn't you say? The Alabama 2nd team would probably destroy Notre Dame this season, and; I am not even going to make a prediction that the Tide will win it all. Anything can happen. Still, I do urge you to stay away from the TV if those teams do meet in the playoffs. I don't want you to suffer that kind of extreme pain. There is no real reason to put yourself through such torment. Edited October 5, 2018 by Bill from NYC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I don’t cheer for any team, I just want to see good games. mostly I watch B1G games, went to almost 100 of them from 98 to 12 PAC 12 is not going to provide an undefeated champion, so that’s one Power down.

Clemson and Notre Dame have schedules that are soft. It is hard for me to tell good these teams are. They could very likely coast to undefeated seasons, leaving only 2 spots and making things tough for the Big 10 and SEC teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Notre Dame did defeat Michigan and Stanford, they squeaked out wins against the likes of Ball State and Vanderbilt. I'm not sure how good Michigan and Stanford are, but I'm pretty sure that they are not as good as Auburn, LSU, and Georgia. Maybe ND is as good as you seem to believe. I don't know but as I said, I do hope that Alabama makes the playoffs and faces them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama won’t see a good team until LSU i don’t think anyone is doubting Bama is one of the best teams this year, they will have a few challenges up ahead to prove it i accept that Bama has been handed Cupcake City until LSU, I don’t understand how people celebrate running up the score on hopelessly outmatched cupcakes, all the time screaming in delirious joy like it’s a Beatles concert.

row_33 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Probably no Big 12 undefeated team either shouldn’t be more than 1 or 2 in a given year, if that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still impressed they beat Stanford, and VaTech in back to back weeks, and the fashion they did it in.

Three very impressive wins on national TV over a good opponent. Classic trivia last night showing the Hokies are 2-35 against real opponents, with Wisconsin another flop with the same level of uselessness.

PromoTheRobot Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Not sure why but I've read if UB is in the MAC Championship they won't go to the Bahamas Bowl. (Although it's an awfully nice bowl location. Beats Boise.) I already plan to fly to Detroit for the MACC assuming Buffalo qualifies. (Gotta beat Miami OH and Ohio to clinch.) If a UB bowl game is in a location within reasonable travel (Florida, Texas, Mobile I could get to via Atlanta,) I'll likely go there too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
