ACC 8 plus @ least 1 other OOC P4, if you’re top 2, add 1 more w/ CCG = 10,

the SEC and B12 the same. While the B1G has 9 plus CCG. Some in B1G have another P4 OOC game, that’s 11. Yes Notre Dame needs to step it up and as you said too, play 10 P4’s every year. I will repeat it’s not their fault they get away with it because the P4 agreed to it, but the P4 especially the P2 since they have the most power, need to close the loophole. In the meantime congratulations ND on the bye next week while 8 P4 teams play in Conference Championship games, and for likely getting a home game while only playing 8 P4 games. I’m not sure anybody else could pull that off.

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,

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
