CFP Talk

- Start date
Those who said IU didn't belong in the CFP appear to have been right. IU lucky to only be down 2 TDs at the half.
Rod Heard II has been playing Safety as a back-up tonight. No impact plays as yet.

Yeah, Indiana’s turnaround season has been impressive, but they’re a very good, not great team. They’ve been totally shut down by the 2 top 10 teams they’ve played. They had a fairly weak SOS but many many IU teams in the last several decades have had weak SOS and were unable to beat 11 teams, many of them by multiple TDs.
Indiana's tackling has been atrocious but ND has had a say in that as well. The announcer said Rourke has been off and I agree with that. ND has several physical beasts sprinkled throughout their team, particularly on the DL, that Indiana just cannot match.
Watching Leonard continually break the rush with his legs I wonder why Lausch wasn't more active.

I didn’t watch much IU this year but this game was just awful, nothing like the aggressive offense I thought they had. Running on 2nd and long when time was a factor, not going for it on 4th down when they needed 3 scores in 10 minutes, seemingly no adjustment to try to get some quick passes or roll Rourke our to avoid pressure. Just a really bad gameplan on offense and horrendous tackling on defense that just kept extending drives allowing first down after first down.
I am quite happy smug Cig got knocked down a peg. I am even happier they missed the two pint conversion.
I turned it off after the last ND TD. Quite a furious rally by IU - to your point, if they’d made that 2 point conversion, incredibly it would’ve been a one possession game with enough time for an onside kick and a couple pass play to set up a Hail Mary.
Brandon Joseph. He's on the Detroit Lions roster but hasn't played much. At least he's getting a NFL paycheck.
Lots of B1G trashing late in the broadcast.
But the era of 18 (?) team conferences means that there will be lucky, powerhouse-dodging teams every year.
(A quick glance at Tennessee’s schedule shows wins over 5 of the bottom 7 teams in the SEC, and a loss to bottom-feeder Arkansas. I think Alabama is their only currently-ranked win. Their best non-conference win was 6-6 NC State.)
I wish yesterday’s game had been interesting. 🤞 for good games today.
Bring on promotion and relegation in the mega-conferences!

Ciggy deserved it… talk 💩and team plays like 💩
Maybe a FAFO situation! Remember Michigan State's one hit wonder season? How'd that turn out? Live by the portal, die by the portal. Or some such nonsense.
I thought the new CFP was great, bringing more competitive games. After 2 games, maybe the right answer is 8 teams not 12......
The lower seed having to play a road game makes it a tougher task to pull an upset. That is different from prior CFP years. How many 16 seed upsets would have still happened if the my had to go to the 1 seed home court!
So of course Ohio State will lose at home tonight and Ryan Day will be fired tomorrow. That's entertaining.
Plenty of orange in the Horseshoe. Guess it isn't just NU fans who sell their tix for aa profit......
Or not.
Report: Detroit Lions safety was waived after being detained
Joseph was waived amid a flurry of roster moves. It was later reported that he was detained early Saturday morning on suspicion of operating under the influence.
