Notre Dame resume is terrible

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.

Not saying you co-sign it; but it is absurd to follow this logic through to the end.

basically discounts our common opponent victories of FSU and UF, which as rivalry games they just mean more — pun intended — which leads to the committee’s statement about common opponents meaning nothing; aka 7-2 Texas and 8-2 Alabama are better than Miami (7-2; 8-2) even when considering the real results. Moreover, the head to head versus ND again becomes negligible. The ends are overly determinant by preseason rankings and schedule order. ND’s ranked win over Pitt on the road is a bonus but let Miami do the same thing & nothing will need to change.

Yet, in truth, we know this is complete 🐂 💩 because of the commitee’s previous revelations. USC is ranked above Michigan because they beat Michigan. Both of Michigan’s losses, OU + USC, will be teams respectively ranked above ND + Iowa; USC’s losses. Texas was ranked above OU last week because they beat OU.

The commitee’s website says that score differential isn’t in the equation when considering common opponents: just the results. Still, GT beat ‘Cuse by 25 to our 28. Yet, we jumped GT after being behind them. It feels like we were somehow advantaged and disadvantaged by the fact that UVA and Louisville, who were ahead of us with 1 loss but not when we all had 2 losses, lost their games that past week.

Now that Louisville has an extra loss; we are very likely to be the sole contender, outta all 25 teams, who common opponents and head to head don’t matter for.

I still don’t quite understand how Houston and Utah are so far apart or why Vandy isn’t above Utah.

Anyways, long story short, despite going H2H, having two like opponents (UF + USF = Ark + Navy; UF’s win over should be noted however as a 7-2 UT was above us; aka UF > Ark), and four common opponents in NC State, Stanford, Pittsburgh, and Syracuse while they played a total of three teams who are winless in their own conference: BC, Purdue, and Arkansas; a 10-2 Miami and possibly a 11-2 BYU would still end up 💩 outta luck two years in a row behind Alabama and Notre Dame.

It's blatantly obvious the P2 gets treated partially. The longer nonsensical **** like this continues to linger, and the longer they use convoluted stats/metrics/rankings to justify their collective insanity, the more it pushes die hard fans, like me, away.

Maybe this new generation of fans digs this ****, but I certainly don't.

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.

Let alone as we've alluded to before, don't leave it to the metrics (or the refs), Canes, jut win games we're double digit favorites in. Until that changes nothing changes.

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.

Remaining sos is where it will fall off for nd.
 
Honestly if they got in over a “full member” ACC champion the ACC needs to get them off the schedule and stop doing them any **** favors

With all the next leagues going to 9 game schedules what’s the point of propping up ND… let them over pay to schedule an NCstate etc

You think the flacid heads of the All Cuck Conference are going to do anything? Susan, Timothy, and Jim, bunch of impotent limp ****s that take turns filming from "the chair" (pictured below), as the SEC and B!G have a bukake fest on their disgusting mugs...

Exactly. If your wins are against scrubs, your game control should be through the roof.

I'd like to see our game control metric against, cough cough, Notre Dame.

Their schedule was ranked higher than ours last week, and their game control was higher.

Let's see what it looks like this week.

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.

it should be illegal what the ACC allows them to do to the conference...

They get to schedule 5 games a year against us. .With the conferences going to 9 conference games a year, I think ND would have a very hard time getting a full schedule of quality P4 teams..
They lose to us.
They steal one of our playoff spots.

Can't blame ND for taking advantage of the weak ACC leadership...
The ACC needs therapy for the way they handle ND....

In what world was Miami’s game control less than ND’s when NC State didn’t score until 3 minutes left? But Pitt scored a FG 16 minutes into the game, and then 2 touchdowns?

I said the numbers for last week’s poll. ND had a higher game control metric last week. Per McClintock, who obviously isn’t in the room but is the best I’ve seen at projecting the committee. I don’t know what the number is this week after the games last Saturday. Yes I agree, I’d assume our game control metric improved after the shellacking we put on NC State.

Oh okay thought those numbers were from this past weeks results only, not season as a whole
