How about the first two?

For the love of God, will someone PLEASE teach a journalist such as Brett McMurphy the difference between

DOMINANT - adjective - used to describe a noun - i.e., "one of the most DOMINANT 10-game runs in the history of college football"

and

DOMINATE - verb - used to describe the act of domination - i.e., "many employees of ND have been known to DOMINATE young boys"

He needs to be asked EXACTLY what this would have solved.

Would Notre Dame have run up the score on Stanford MORE?

Seriously, ND won its final 10 games. The CFP rankings were only for the last 5 weeks of the regular season. Notre Dame is not in a conference, and thus cannot play in a conference championship game.

So "what" EXACTLY would Notre Dame have "had to do to get back into the rankings"? Win every game? They did. Run up the score on every team? They largely did, particularly against Stanford.

Again, ND did nothing wrong. This was a Greg Sankey/SEC/Alabama mafia type thing.

Maybe their were so full of themselves they didn't think they had to make a full PR case against Alabama, and that's what they are mad about. They thought they were gonna keep getting preferential princess treatment against Miami even though they **** well knew they shouldn't have been. They have nobody but themselves to blame for waiting to not get their messaging out comparing themselves against SEC teams. They waited till the final week then realized they were ****ed with Bama in SEC champ game so tried to use "process" as their argument for staying above Miami. Clowns

Its truly the most beta **** I have seen in a long time.

My entire life I didnt appreciate and understand the hate the generation prior to me had for ND.

I do now.

I hate them more than any other institution.

I grew up far away from Miami and my neighbors were an ND household. They’re actually why I became such a big Miami fan. They DESPISED Miami in the most arrogant racist ways possible. I was a little kid kinda like…well you guys are **** so…

It didn’t really occur to me that people don’t really get to see it up close

I was saying the same **** about Ohio St. the anti-SEC bias while OSU was getting away with absolute murder

They still think they’re better than being in a conference and think having an NBC contract matters

They just got a nice dose of reality and it’s ******* beautiful

The real question is WHO SIGNED AN MOU THAT GIVES THEM AN AUTOBID IF THEY ARE RANKED 12TH OR HIGHER NEXT SEASON?

Who had the authority to do that? Was it voted by all conferences? Did ESPN or anyone associated with the network do that?

No one is talking about that.

Supposedly it is only valid if the field is 12 or 14 teams. IDK what happens if it goes bigger....

This isn't highlighted enough. There is zero upside to playing them..in fact it could end up costing us dearly next year.
And people are forgetting the ACC tie break rules we just endured with the new auto bid rule next year for conf champs. We could be in a nasty spot next season.

he addressed that and basically said at least they could have known what mountain they had to climb and prepared for the eventual disappointment of not making the playoffs....

yes this was an SEC/CFP pulling the rug/collusion that happened to ND.. it was ND or us it was going to happen to.. never an SEC school and hopefully none of us are dumb enough to believe in the future anything differently...

See what you are ignoring though is USC is also cancelling your game. So then what is your best win? Pitt was your second best win. They wouldn't play you either. Who the **** are y'all gonna schedule! The SEC is moving to 9 games AND most of the top programs already have OOC rivalries. What P4 program is going to jump to play ND in the final month of the season without a schedule agreement? NOBODY. ND keeps thinking they are so great, but if the other programs don't schedule you you will be ****ed. However maybe with this bs MOU even if you play a schedule full of G5s youd still get in.... Y'all would be closer to BYU than any SEC/B1G program in every CFB fans eyes without a P4 scheduling agreement.

The SEC isn't gonna get pushed around by ND like the ACC is. ND can only keep ACC tied or go into B1G which y'all also hate because all ND EVER does is pick up their ball and go home like the little pussies they are .

I'm not ignoring anything at all. USC and ND played this year. That happened.

USC didn't cancel our game going forward. They actually got a deal done to play next year but a long term deal hasn't been done yet, and there are issues that may or may not get worked out. So it may be cancelled in the future, but not right now.

ND has agreements to play Auburn, Bama, Florida, Texas, USC, Wiscy, Michigan State, Indiana, Purdue, Navy and Clemson over the next five years. If those games stick, my guess is taht they would fill in the gaps with BYU, some other random BIG12 teams and a few G5 teams.

Most CFB fans already think ND’s schedule is trash because of the ACC rotation, so it woudl just be status quo.

You are correct, these teams that actually matter could force ND's hand by refusing to play them. ND would be ****ed in a sense that it would be impossible to remain indy. That would end with the BIG or SEC throwing piles of money at them to join. Not exactly a tragedy.

One by one all those games are going away. You will not play anything except the bottom dwellers of a conference. Without the scheduling agreement why would Clemson play you, a 9 game schedule, and South Carolina yearly? Lmao. South Carolina already canceled our game with them. Id guess Auburn does too. Why would they leave you on schedule as they go to 9 games? Lol. You're ONLY hope is B1G.

Id be SHOCKED if y'all ever play UF. Those guys are even bigger pussies lmao. They won't travel to South Bend. Ever. I guarantee it. MSU is like the peak you will play. Indiana isn't playing you. They've seen 2 years in a row how them scheduling BS out of Conference and just walking into the playoffs with 1 or 2 B1G losses Max has led to all their success. Michigan and USC are your only hope of a real game without the ACC imo.

So yes your guess that you'd fill it with like BYU, proving my point that without joining the B1G (y'all would never join SEC) will end with you becoming BYU by leaving the ACC scheduling deal....

ND fans act like you're doing everyone else a favor and for that deserve to just be given a CFP spot yearly. Disgusting.

As we get a couple days of distance from the selection and ND's reaction, my thought is changing a bit. I'm sort of the opinion that ND wanted out of the ACC for a while now any may be using this event as a negotiating ploy to minimize the exit fees.

Just a thought.

I agreed with your point - if those teams bailed on their agreements to play, ND would have no choice but to join a conference. But I wouldn’t go as far as saying they'd be "****ed”. Being forced into the Big Ten or SEC isn’t exactly a punishment. Two of your own conference members filed lawsuits trying to get this exact kind of “punishment.”
