No. Under the current set up the winning team would still have to win 4 post season games. Clemson was the only team that would have had to win 5. The only way to make a bye a true advantage is to eliminate conference championship games and that's unlikely given the revenue they generate. ND basically had a "bye" when other playoff teams were participating in championship games.

Why isn't MFs success netting more blue chip interest?

Most of the 5 stars aren’t interested in the demands of the Notre Dame classroom. We get some here and there but they typically want to bolt to the NFL after three years and not have to sink all their time in anything other than football.

ND still recruits more 4 stars than anyone I believe and Freeman has recruited more top 100 guys.

I noticed ND is now a 2 point underdog to UGA.

If ND had top 5 talent, instead of back end top 10 talent, they would probably be a 5 point favorite with a far higher likelihood to win this game.

I like how several of the posters in this thread understand how the talent rankings work and what they represent but are now disregarding the information/evidence and playing make believe in their heads that ND has 5 star talent on the field lol

ND has 3 & 4 star talent that has been maximized with great player development and great scheme but its the lack of high 4 & 5 star talent that is still capping this program's upside.

Imagine NDs coaching staff with OSUs roster/talent for example

OSUs roster has 14 five-stars and another 10+ top 100 prospects on it for example (that means 25 of their 80+ scholarship players are top 100 consensus talent with more than half of that being 5-star talent)

Imagine what Marcus Freeman/ this coaching staff could do with that much talent?

Dear alphabet poll lover...

Allow me a moment to explain the way the world works.

The line shifted for two reasons. Even out the money and Rylie Mills being confirmed scratch.

Now for your star players...

Ready?
A team full of 5 stars is easier to coach. No question about that.
BUT..
A team full of 4 stars can sometimes get better results because of coaching.
5 stars are great athletes. They also come with 5 star ego's
4 stars are really good athletes and come with a prove you wrong chippy attitude.
They're naturally motivated to prove people like you wrong.

In the end no matter how stacked a roster is, anyone can mess up a wet dream. You remember that!

This was his first year in cfb. His ranking will skyrocket because of what the team did this year

Both mean nothing.

Looks like the other thread got shut down. I have no issue with the Edge guys, been fantastic. The concern is the interior DT, in 6 years ND has not recruited ONE Top 150 player with an average ranking of 360. WR/DT have been the two worst recruited positions and it’s not close. ND has done “very well” at every other position

We have 11 4star DL. We aren't recruiting the DL not that well

That's a false inaccurate narrative.

We are recruiting the DL very well just not at the elite level.

If that's what you said originally I would agree with you brother. Just calling out the false narrative that some like to say we don't recruit DL well. Because it is inaccurate

That’s arbitrary. In terms of the entire country, we are recruiting the d line very well. In terms of the top 15 teams, which I’m comparing us to, we’re near the bottom.

The facts are we don’t have one 5 star recruit. The top teams all have multiple. When is the last time ND had a first round pick on the defensive line?

You’re also failing to see how big of a difference even high end 4 star recruits (top 100) are compared to mid to lower tier 4 star prospects. This is why we have struggled to generate a pass rush in every CFP or NC game. Show me a team that won a national title without a 5 star defensive lineman.

Again, irrelevant to the discussion. They may have the best conference, but it's primarily based on the top 3-4 teams in the SEC.

I believe Big 10 Oregon, Ohio State, and Penn State match up well with SEC Georgia, Texas, and Tennessee.

It’s the depth of the SEC that I believe is better than the Big 10. Better than the ACC. And better than the Big 12.

If you or others disagree, great.
