An upset would be sweet, but I can't see it happening. Clemson is a monster team and that defense should be illegal. I wouldn't want to be an Irish offensive lineman today.

Made for tv fiction. Notre Dame the pretender.

Dear Notre Dame,

Do us all a favor and quit wasting our time. You are high level d1-aa.

You suck and we are sick of you

They got a close win over a vastly overrated Michigan squad. USC stunk it up in the PAC this year and Stanford wasn't that much better. Then they picked up a close win over the SEC's Vanderbilt who fumbled the winning score through the end zone. They beat Northwestern, Wake Forest, and Navy. Their schedule had F.S.U. been up to snuff would have been fine as that would have normally been a second contending school which would finished ranked.

So I don't blame them. But when Stanford, U.S.C., and F.S.U. are subpar there goes your schedule.

So, did this team really have that strong of a schedule in retrospect?

Kudos to them for being 12-0 but in retrospect their best win will likely be over Michigan who will likely finish somewhere between 12th & 15th.

Right now I'd say that either Georgia or Ohio State were probably more deserving. I would have stated that publicly before the selection but knew it would not be believed until the actual game proved it so.

Their issue is that with their independent schedule if a couple of key schools go flat so does their schedule. A complete conference schedule ameliorates that because usually you will play two strong teams at least, the leading contender in your division, and your opponent in the CCG.

If Clemson wins can Dexter Lawrence play in championship game? Can he take another blood test?

Notre Dame fans, arent you a little embarrassed that your fake team is getting violated again.

Have you no shame or do you secretly enjoy it

RE: CFP Playoffs Cotton Bowl: Notre Dame vs Clemson
Pathetic. This is the best matchup? More the reason to expand the playoffs. Wasting a spot of 8 is easier to swallow than wasting a spot of 4. The system is broken. At least ND wont get the BS that will last a generation regarding them not belonging in a bowl game against a P5 big boy. People will forget this because of their name. Despite it being very hard for me to believe UCF would have performed as pathetic as ND, but if they did, all the frat boys would be on TV using that as an excuse to never let a G5 get a chance in the playoffs again because they "clearly" dont belong.

Bravo ND, pathetic showing on the big stage..... as always I must add for recent generations......... rinse and repeat next year.

I'm sick of the hype and the myth, when the reality of two massive beat downs is there for everyone to see. There is no reason for any P5 conference to defer to this, and certainly not a Big 10 or SEC school.

Notre Dame is more appropriate for the Las Vegas Bowl.
Should have been Georgia in the game. (or UCF).

But this will never change since the P5 allowed ND to be seen as an equal, figuratively and literally. Maybe in 2025 it will change, but ND carries too much political weight to be relegated to BYU treatment. Only thing we can hope for is that they are forced to join the ACC in 2025.
