Notre Dame resume is terrible

Advertisement
Idk why the big conferences haven't forced some type of stipulation on them. Notre dame has the luxury of a spot in the playoff as long as they hit 10 wins and it doesn't matter how they get them. You don't have that in a conference.

Miamis 12 wins vs p4 not including NDs 6 wins. This doesn’t include the Pitt or VT wins while NDs counts all

There is no eye test. ND ranks highly in a lot of the metrics the committee uses. Not saying they should or I agree. I’m just telling you they sit down and rank teams mostly off metrics and ND somehow has a good resume there. I don’t really get it either. I’d suggest following Adam McClintock on Twitter, he’s the best I’ve seen of deciphering what the committee is going to do. He claims no matter who the members are, they’re all consistent in how they rank because they’re all directed on how to do so.

He predicts the 25 each week and usually has the team either nailed or within a spot, maybe two.

So we need two more 150 yard defensive games and two more 40+ victories on the road?

It wouldn’t hurt. Last week he had ND’s game control at 19.9 and Miami’s at 17.9.

ND has won 8 straight games by 10+ points, and 7 of those were by 20+.

Them beating Pitt last week hurt in a lot of ways because it gave them another quality win, they smoked them so their game control will go up, and also it’s unlikely Pitt ends up in the top 25 even if they beat GT and lose to us. It wouldn’t hurt if SMU or Louisville can win out and sneak into the bottom of the top 25 at the end of the year.

wtf is game control? I mean any good team should have games controlled when your p4 opponents suck as badly as NDs.

Are they using real metrics or arbitrary cutoff BS where teams that are functionally the same tier of team get treated differently





They are supposed to have access to SportsSource Analytics and very fancy stats.

Basically how much you dominate games. And by McClintock’s model, NDs strength of schedule was better than Miami’s last week. And that probably won’t get any better this week with us adding NCSU and them adding a 7-3 Pitt.

He had Miami’s SOS at 44, and ND at 40. So, close obviously, but not a data point we’re being pushed by.

The ACC gets cucked by ND every year and says thank you afterward. Absolutely absurd that they see what goes on and keeps giving ND 6 games a year. They bring zero value to the conference. Basketball and baseball are trash. But I guess their women’s basketball and soccer teams are too important to lose.
