As I've said all season long - ND is the most overrated team in the country. Miami should beat them

Edit : ND beat a vastly overrated Georgia team on their way to earning their ranking

Alabama is great but they're incredibly fucking lucky too. So sick of them. Even if they would've lost the committee would've kept them in top 4. Here's to hoping auburn knocks them off then maybe Georgia. It's old watching them in the title game every year. It's not fun anymore.

Wimbush and Book both look lost. Nice that ND is getting an ass kicking in prime time. Hopefully BK keeps rotating these guys and kills their confidence.

That's their whole résumé though.  Their two best wins would be over a 3+ loss Michigan team and a 2+ loss Big Ten East champion.  Their nonconference schedule -- the games they control -- was Utah State, Florida Atlantic, and at BYU.  Now, they might not have known that BYU would be a tire fire, but that's still not really a marquee game.

The more teams get rewarded for a gaudy record, without considering the quality of their opponents, the more we're going to see unwatchable September* football as teams attempt to grease the skids for a playoff run.

There are no Big Ten teams who deserve to be in the playoff this year.

* or November -- looking at you ESS EEE SEE.

UCLA ASU is a barn burner. UCLA is a different team with Rosen. Not a great team, or a very good one. But they are in every game. He is more accurate than Darnold.
