Is there any actual evidence that climate impacts teams from certain regions more than others? My guess is that that is one of those old sportswriter folk tales that don't actually hold up to the evidence.

Dude, what if there was like snow all over the ground, wouldn't that be epic, that would be effin' awesome! Let's say we were playing LSU in those conditions. Advantage ND. That's why all playoff games have to be home games except for the championship. Or no more than the semis. Not because you want snow bowl games necessarily, but because you just gotta do it! It's just way more righteous that way, and very much incentivizes wanting the highest you seed you can get, and makes the regular season that much more important. And yes, totally does give cold weather teams a huge, very significant advantage over SEC teams if they ever have to play up north in December and it's fairly cold that day.

I think the cold weather would be good for us.

Send Miami up to South Bend in December.....we'd have an advantage playing in this conditions.

I have never understood the fascination by some delighting in players and fans enduring sub freezing temperatures for four hours. I fully understand why quarter final, semi finals, and final games will be played in domed stadiums and warmer weather locales.

If ND wins out they will host a game. This is all but guaranteed. I even hear they will have light snow blowing with the Golden Dome in the background according to the script I have seen.

Totally agree - there is no such thing as a "perfect game", but this offense played really well Saturday -- and there is still room for massive improvement.

Did they stumble onto another Urban Meyer?

You will never see a perfect game where there are zero mistakes. The offense was humming but still another level to get to

You’re trying to change the narrative again because you’re dishonest

The issue isn’t about coaching teams, the issue is and has always been about ranking teams

I stated that Vegas should rank the teams since they’re the professional experts

You disagreed, you stated that others, “ who know the game, who watch every game” are better qualified than Vegas

So I asked you to identify those people who “watch every game, who know the game”, who are better than Vegas, at ranking teams ………… and you failed to identify those individuals who are better qualified than Vegas to rank the teams.

To repeat, the issue isn’t about coaching teams, the issue is about ranking teams

So tell us, who is better than Vegas at ranking teams ?

Identify them

Or admit that you’re dead wrong on this issue !
