Going to give an early congrats to ND alum/fans. They do need to improve
Stech • 12/01/24 08:34 AM ET
ND's schedule was arguably better than any Big 10 schedule
WestyHokie • 12/01/24 07:41 PM ET
I kinda agree with this. The Big 10
mancunian • 12/02/24 07:47 AM ET
With Oregon added?**
HokiesACC2004 • 12/03/24 05:39 AM ET
Oregon's the bra, OSU and PSU are the right and left heels respectively**
mancunian • 12/03/24 02:17 PM ET
Big Ten is top heavy, but what conference isn't unless it's way down?
reestuart • 12/03/24 12:43 PM ET
I don't think so **
HokiesACC2004 • 12/02/24 05:31 AM ET
LOL. **
reestuart • 12/01/24 11:36 PM ET
ND played 8 in the P4, while the B1G top 2, PSU will play 11 & Oregon 10,

Posts like this show the impact of cognitive bias...
jesuisvtguy • 12/01/24 01:53 PM ET
USC also helped to kill ND's SOS.
Truthahn • 12/02/24 12:02 PM ET
I’m fine with them getting in, but the way they did it is a problem going
Stech • 12/01/24 08:26 PM ET
there's only one great team this year, the Ducks. That's it imho**
MrBayAreaHokie • 12/01/24 04:39 PM ET
They had a really tough time with Boise State. Maybe they should
Big12 guy • 12/01/24 07:49 PM ET
So true that there isn't a great team this season....
Old Line Hokie • 12/01/24 02:07 PM ET
They went 11-1. Is there ANY schedule that ND goes 11-1 against, and gets-
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/01/24 01:15 PM ET
No ACC or Big 12 team should be left out with an 11-1 record.**
wwhokie1 • 12/02/24 12:36 PM ET
I honestly agree with you, but, sadly, I don't think the CFP is going to.
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/02/24 12:52 PM ET
ESPN for now owns the broadcasting rights to the playoffs. That money
Big12 guy • 12/02/24 01:47 PM ET
I'll even go ahead and spoil it for you. Here is the CFP field:
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/02/24 03:34 PM ET
You don't think an SMU gets in if Clemson wins? If they elevate
Big12 guy • 12/02/24 03:37 PM ET
I can assure you, with 100% certainty, that SMU's only way into-
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/02/24 03:44 PM ET
Good call! I better cancel my trip to State College!**
SMU Pony • 12/12/24 09:18 PM ET
Why don't you F off and stop swinging off my jock, loser?
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/13/24 10:47 AM ET
You amuse me greatly....
SMU Pony • 12/13/24 08:19 PM ET
I didn't watch the game, but I saw SMU peed down its leg in what was-
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/23/24 10:34 AM ET
Glad you watched (you did)...
SMU Pony • 12/30/24 09:31 PM ET
I have never and will never watch SMU do anything.
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/16/24 10:54 AM ET
There are two crows in the field, guess we will see. **
Big12 guy • 12/02/24 03:45 PM ET
If SMU loses to Clemson-
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/02/24 04:06 PM ET
Looks like u r right.
Truthahn • 12/03/24 08:40 PM ET
I hope that Big 12 guy is OK processing the news that I've been spot on
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/04/24 10:32 AM ET
I'm not. **
Big12 guy • 12/04/24 12:12 PM ET
I'm certainly not happy about it either, if that makes you feel any better.**
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/04/24 12:32 PM ET
Big12 - did you pop the champagne yesterday when they left Bama out?
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/09/24 11:05 AM ET
Except the Big Ten Championship Game is Oregon vs. Penn State.**
VTHokie2000 • 12/02/24 04:08 PM ET
Oops. You're right - there's zero chance that Miami gets in.
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/02/24 04:15 PM ET
I hope you like the taste of crow-
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/02/24 03:27 PM ET
I just may have too. Miami and Clemson didn't take care of business. **
Big12 guy • 12/02/24 03:32 PM ET
In terms of "ratings," which generates a higher rating; when a Cinderella
VTHokie2000 • 12/02/24 02:44 PM ET
Ya, I don't know. If the country wants to only watch blue bloods, then
Big12 guy • 12/02/24 02:51 PM ET
In terms of what the country wants to watch, something to consider is
VTHokie2000 • 12/02/24 03:01 PM ET
keep in mind, the SMU's and Iowa states will
Big12 guy • 12/02/24 03:05 PM ET
It may be the first time for the Big XII, but not for the ACC.
VTHokie2000 • 12/02/24 03:14 PM ET
Last year? Also, when OU and Texas were in the B12, I think you would
Big12 guy • 12/02/24 03:15 PM ET
You made the following statement,
VTHokie2000 • 12/02/24 03:28 PM ET
Meant to say guaranteed a spot? My bad. **
Big12 guy • 12/02/24 03:34 PM ET
Technically this year isn't a guaranteed spot either. The reason the FBS
VTHokie2000 • 12/02/24 03:45 PM ET
It's almost certainly going to be 16 at-large teams. You can see it coming-
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/03/24 12:27 PM ET
Congrats 2 them, but they played 8 P4 games while the top 8 of P4 played 10
Stech • 12/01/24 01:59 PM ET
Its personal with him
TerryD • 12/01/24 01:52 PM ET
No it’s not, it’s the fact ND played 8 P4 teams, while others played 10-11.**
Stech • 12/01/24 08:28 PM ET
Dude this is embarrassing watching you unravel like this
goldendomer • 12/01/24 10:53 AM ET
I’m fine, you’re throwing insults. Diverts from ND playing 8 from the P4
Stech • 12/01/24 12:29 PM ET
Is it an insult to note someone is melting down?
goldendomer • 12/01/24 01:41 PM ET
Every counterpoint is a "diversion" to him
TerryD • 12/02/24 08:05 AM ET
I’m not melting down, you disagree with my points, but the melt down not so**
Stech • 12/01/24 08:02 PM ET
You have posted consistently about one emotional topic. It seems a bit like
goldendomer • 12/02/24 01:30 AM ET
Nope far from melting down, I am just stating some facts that get some
Stech • 12/02/24 08:58 AM ET
I recieved a nicer congrats from an ex than that. That is a congrats, "but"
goldendomer • 12/02/24 11:07 AM ET
It wasn’t meant to make you feel good bad, sorry if it did that, it was
Stech • 12/02/24 11:45 AM ET
I disagree with that. Clemson could be the ACC champion. The ACC
Big12 guy • 12/02/24 09:46 AM ET
The current rules should be followed, but I want to improve them for the
Stech • 12/02/24 10:47 AM ET
I want the conference champions in the playoffs, as that is decided
Big12 guy • 12/02/24 12:27 PM ET
One way to do that is it could be regular season Conference Champions, if
Stech • 12/02/24 12:33 PM ET
Sure, maybe the top two teams. Id be OK with that because the polls and
Big12 guy • 12/02/24 12:38 PM ET
Exactly, what I am talking about doing, if you play top 25 teams & win get
Stech • 12/02/24 12:45 PM ET
I think the regular season was much more interesting this
Big12 guy • 12/02/24 12:51 PM ET
Bingo!!! You are spot on!!! Stop being rewarded for cupcake scheduling!!!**
Stech • 12/02/24 01:02 PM ET
Is it?
TerryD • 12/02/24 12:29 PM ET
It is still decided on the field, not by the suits. **
Big12 guy • 12/02/24 12:35 PM ET
I think Stech may be beyond hope at this stage.
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/01/24 05:34 PM ET
You disagree fine, state that, your shutting me down because you disagree
Stech • 12/01/24 08:10 PM ET
they can't change the schedule mid-season. These were set a few years back.
reestuart • 12/01/24 12:48 PM ET
I understand that, but they didn’t schedule enough top P4 teams, they had
Stech • 12/01/24 01:06 PM ET
So no ACC team should go to the cfb by your own criteria
goldendomer • 12/01/24 01:43 PM ET
ND and probably a few others deserve CFP over any ACC team. **
reestuart • 12/01/24 05:06 PM ET
Over ANY ACC team, now that is a ridiculous statement… ◄
ombandit • 12/02/24 09:16 AM ET
Not sure how that’s ridiculous. ND deserves it over every ACC team.
reestuart • 12/02/24 09:49 AM ET
Isn't the ACC champ getting in without playing an SEC or Big Ten schedule ?
TerryD • 12/01/24 09:23 AM ET
Clemson didn't play a single ACC team with a winning record in conference.
reestuart • 12/01/24 10:07 AM ET
Yep, it’s not just ND, I agree.**
Stech • 12/01/24 09:53 AM ET
They need for the ACC teams on their schedule to be better. **
reestuart • 12/01/24 08:50 AM ET
That and play SMU, Miami and Clemson too.**
Stech • 12/01/24 09:55 AM ET
When a 3 loss ND gets into the playoffs, you have a valid argument. **
Big12 guy • 12/01/24 10:27 AM ET
Even if ND finishes top 4, they don't get a bye, so that's actually a
reestuart • 12/01/24 01:20 PM ET
That's not really their call, is it? They were supposed to play Miami
reestuart • 12/01/24 10:05 AM ET
Only played 8 P4 teams, they should be playing 10 w/o Conf Champ game
Stech • 12/01/24 10:17 AM ET
OK, so who? Their problem is the ACC teams. Next year they play ACC (5)
reestuart • 12/01/24 10:23 AM ET
That’s their problem to solve, almost any team will play Notre Dame.**
Stech • 12/01/24 11:47 AM ET
Not their problem, its yours
TerryD • 12/02/24 08:09 AM ET
Why would you complain it’s slanted toward ND’s advantage, 8 P4 games, when
Stech • 12/02/24 09:11 AM ET
You are yelling at clouds....repeatedly
TerryD • 12/02/24 12:26 PM ET
LOL you just described yourself, by the way this is a discussion board, try
Stech • 12/02/24 12:39 PM ET
I said "it was your right" to do so
TerryD • 12/02/24 12:42 PM ET
Name one school that would not schedule them. just one. **
Big12 guy • 12/01/24 11:57 AM ET
I can’t name one, ND needs to schedule at least 10 P4, the B1G top2 play 11
Stech • 12/01/24 12:37 PM ET
They had 9 scheduled. Miami bailed.**
reestuart • 12/01/24 12:45 PM ET
Okay, they need 10 like top 2 of P4, they get Miami excuse this
Stech • 12/01/24 01:04 PM ET
I agree on 10, but most aren't doing that yet.**
reestuart • 12/01/24 01:19 PM ET
ACC 8 plus @ least 1 other OOC P4, if you’re top 2, add 1 more w/ CCG = 10,
Stech • 12/01/24 01:37 PM ET
CCG shouldn't count. Should be 10 regular season, in and out of conference.**
reestuart • 12/01/24 01:39 PM ET
Agreed, but it does now, hopefully they drop that game and go to 16 playoff**
Stech • 12/01/24 07:59 PM ET
Oh, and FTR, Army replaced Miami on the schedule because the Canes bailed
