A.K.A. "The Gangbang"
November 11th, 2017 at 9:07 PM ^
Although ND is playing like their fake girlfriend died today.
November 11th, 2017 at 8:57 PM ^
Winovich, Furbush.....Winbush?
November 11th, 2017 at 8:59 PM ^
The Canes for real?
November 11th, 2017 at 8:59 PM ^
I want Miami to beat ND, but I think there's a recruit looking at us and Miami, couple more. So hoping for Miami to win ugly or something.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:00 PM ^
This Nd game is great. I hope the canes bore out their ass.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:01 PM ^
So what shade of purple is Brian Kelly going to reach tonight?
November 11th, 2017 at 9:12 PM ^
Trick question. Answer is all of them.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:52 PM ^
I’m going with jam tonight.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:57 PM ^
full Grimace.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:11 PM ^
If we win out along with MSU and psu, then MSU advances,correct?
And the only way we advance is if both psu and MSU lose.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:25 PM ^
Nope. OSU would have the head to head over MSU.
Edit: I'm not really sure. If there was a 4 team tie this is what it says. I don't really understand what they mean by "the records of the three tied teams will be compared against each other.
The following procedure will determine the representative from each division in the event of a tie:
(a) If two teams are tied, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative.
(b) If three or more teams are tied, steps 1 through 8 will be followed until a determination is made. If only two teams remain tied after any step (or sub-step), the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative. If three or more teams remain tied after any step, move to next step in tiebreaker with remaining tied teams.
1. The records of the three tied teams will be compared against each other.
2. The records of the three tied teams will be compared within their division.
3. The records of the three teams will be compared against the next highest placed teams in their division in order of finish (4, 5, 6, and 7).
(a) When arriving at a group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record against the collective tied teams as a group, rather than record against the individual teams.
4. The records of the three teams will be compared against all common conference opponents.
5. The best cumulative conference winning percentage of non-divisional opponents.
(a) Example: East 1 non-divisional opponents are 20-7, East 2 non-divisional opponents are 19-8, East 3 non-divisional opponents are 14-13 – East 1 would be the representative.
6. The records of the three teams will be compared against the highest placed non-divisional teams in their division order of finish (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7).
(a) When arriving at a group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record against the collective tied teams as a group, rather than record against the individual teams.
(b) When comparing records against a single team or a group of teams, the record will prevail, even if the number of games played against the team or group are unequal (i.e. 1-0 is better than 0-0, 2-0 is better than 1-0, etc.)
7. The team with the best overall winning percentage [excluding exempted games] shall be the representative.
8. The representative will be chosen by random draw.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:30 PM ^
My understanding was always that in the event of 3 or more tied teams, the national ranking would decide the winner, but it wouldn't be tied because sparty's other B1G loss was to northwestern.
What you posted has me thoroughly dizzy though.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:38 PM ^
"three" here should be interpreted as "three or more."
If MSU/PSU/OSU/UM win out, except UM beats OSU, then all four are 7-2 in the Big Ten. MSU and OSU would be 2-1 against the tied teams, whereas PSU and UM would be 1-2. OSU goes by virtue of head-to-head win over MSU.
If OSU loses an extra game, and it's a 3-way MSU/PSU/UM tie, MSU wins as they are 2-0 vs. the tied group.
If PSU loses an extra game, and it's a 3-way MSU/OSU/UM tie, all three are 1-1 vs. each other. The next tiebreaker is division record; UM has two division losses, whereas OSU and MSU would only have one. UM is eliminated and OSU goes due to head to head vs. MSU.
In a 3-way OSU/PSU/UM tie, all three are 1-1 vs. each other; UM and PSU have two division losses and are eliminated; OSU wins.
Michigan needs to win out and have PSU and MSU both lose one more game.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:59 PM ^
Too bad Penn State and sparty each only have Maryland, Rutgers and West Rutgers left. Probably aren't going to stumble.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:14 PM ^
Florida would be stupid to not give Mullen whatever he wants. The guy has had Mississippi State ranked at #1 at one point
November 11th, 2017 at 9:19 PM ^
So much chaos in these late games
November 11th, 2017 at 9:20 PM ^
But I would rather they wrap up and tackle the guy. Irish keep bouncing off and getting YAC.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:23 PM ^
Damn! Miss St. looking strong.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:23 PM ^
Would be awesome to see the top 3 teams go down today. Two SEC schools and Notre Dame.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:24 PM ^
Wow, that would be awesome if # 1, 2, and 3 were all upset.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:26 PM ^
These games stay as they are top 4 would be:
Clemson
OU
Miami
Wisky
November 11th, 2017 at 9:33 PM ^
I would say Clemson, OU, Miami, Auburn
November 11th, 2017 at 9:31 PM ^
on purdon't and their psycho coaching staff. love the wildcats, easily my second favorite team after michigan.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:33 PM ^
Theyre like the Purdue Tiller teams. Always solid.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:41 PM ^
Northwestern is cool, except for the one time when they almost beat Michigan, Fitzgerald was jumping up and down like a clown and it was super annoying.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:46 PM ^
Still bothers me.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:48 PM ^
but i also love fitz. was a stud linebacker, smart, honest, recruiting to a very difficult place. if we hadn't gotten harbaugh, fitz was definitely the next best choice.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:51 PM ^
I was at that game. Too bad they never showed his reaction when Roundtree caught the bomb to help send it to overtime.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:59 PM ^
I remember watching their sideline at the game and wondering who the hell was jumping around like an idiot after that penalty. That was just bizarre.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:35 PM ^
Notre Dame is an overcooked hamburger with dry cheese, a moldy bun, and no condiments.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:39 PM ^
And I couldn't see any use for condiments.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:42 PM ^
To me, they're a grass fed dry aged porterhouse, but well past well done with a side of tomato ketchup.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:37 PM ^
ND benching my bro Wimbush upsets me. I hope his back up does terrible.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:39 PM ^
This is turning out to be a happy evening indeed.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:44 PM ^
The schedule again? Boring. Rather play Georgia. Why would anyone play a team that plays in a conference that suits them. F ND .. zero class
November 11th, 2017 at 9:46 PM ^
Just a piece of garbage ...
November 11th, 2017 at 9:46 PM ^
Mississippi State is hanging in there, which is nice. But even if they somehow pull this off, it's not going to make a difference in the rankings. The pollsters would never drop Bama outside the top four.
Three different times this past decade, they have lost in November and still gone on to the title. If they lose tonight, they most likely only drop to #3.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:53 PM ^
Whoever wins the SEC is in.
If the loser of the championship game went into it undefeated, they're probably also in as long as the game was competitive.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:53 PM ^
1. Auburn
2. Miss State
3. Alabama
4. Georgia
5. LSU
6. Ole Miss (I think they won today)
November 11th, 2017 at 9:54 PM ^
Yeah, but it does put a chink in their armour. If they win out of course they deserve to be in, but by some miracle Auburn beats Alabama, Georgia loses to Georgia Tech, and Georgia beats Auburn in the SEC title game, does the SEC get in? That would be nuts.
November 11th, 2017 at 10:01 PM ^
RACIST RACIST RACIST WHY DO YOU HATE ASIAN PEOPLE
/s
November 11th, 2017 at 9:47 PM ^
Lots of football left in that ND game. I have a feeling it will be tied late in the fourth quarter. Really hope I am wrong and Miami curb stomps them.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:50 PM ^
daaaaaamn!
November 11th, 2017 at 9:54 PM ^
Sorry - double post. Held that button too long after the INT.
November 11th, 2017 at 9:49 PM ^
Pick six!!!
This Notre Dame game is so delicious, it must be fattening!
November 11th, 2017 at 9:49 PM ^

ND in trouble.
