I like the Irish, like a good independent competitor.  Maybe beat Navy, maybe  lose to Army, maybe go to OT with Purdue or USC or Michigan State.

 

They are like Northwestern with a bit more talent and a lot more historical sensationalism. They should never been in the playoff, and it is ridiculously clear to everybody outside of the committee/TV/Network sponsors.

Who would you have put in over them? Texas a&m would have been motivated but they had no great wins that the committee is looking for to get in. It also would have been a rematch from earlier and it would have been a blowout either way. If you put in Cincy, they get blown out worse than ND. OU would make sense, but they had two losses. Yes, ND was going to most likely lose, but who would have given Alabama a run for their money? They are just a step ahead of everyone not named Clemson or OSU.

Honestly, I'm not sure if Clemson even deserved to be there. Set aside Clemson's reputation from the last few years. You've got two ACC teams, each with one loss to the other. The committee sent both of them into the playoff, and both got their asses handed to them. Based on their performances on the field yesterday, neither Clemson nor Notre Dame really looked like they belonged in the CFP.

 

 

Yeah, you didn't get flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct for stepping two yards onto the field, coach. :lol:

That's why I had resignation throughout the entire post-season. None of the other choices would have beaten Bama last night.   The #4 team may not deserve to be there but no one else does either.  Michigan State, Washington, and sometimes even Ohio State earned a #4 slot when they had little chance against #1. 

 

That's why college football never needed a playoff system.  They just tried to shoehorn NFL parity onto an unequal sports league.
