Lane Kiffin continues his complaining

Really?

#8 Ohio St. is favored in Las Vegas over #1 Oregon.

ACC champion Clemson was 0-3 versus the SEC, including losing at home in game 12 to non playoff South Carolina.

Indiana…..who played a pathetically weak schedule, SMU, and Clemson IMO weren’t amongst the 12 best teams in CFB.

Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss, South Carolina, and Alabama have zero to whine about after the third best team in the SEC was completely destroyed in the 1st round of the CFP.

If Tennessee is the 3rd best team in the SEC and SC, Ole Miss, and Bama finished behind them, how can you justify those three deserving over SMU Clemson and Indiana when Tennessee was destroyed, it was literally the most lopsided game of the four 1st round contests.

Wrong. This is just tribalistic rival bashing and coach bashing for exactly the reasons I said. He didn't grovel enough. ND fans were making a big point of dismissing IU before the game and it turns out they were right, we did beat them comfortably. And if the guy's a jerk, it's because wasn't being deferential enough to ND, he wasn't assuming an inferior enough position. Even more so after they lose. Even though, with just a little contemplation, are you honestly surprised that someone who could produce this kind of instant success isn't just some meek guy? That he's probably driven and ambitious and prideful? Doesn't matter. He needs to keep his mouth shut because IU sucks and they're nothing. We are the victors and he needs to kneel.

Well actually, he stated Clemson was the only team that would have had to WIN 5 games. That's the 4 playoff games plus the conference championship game. Texas, PSU, and SMU all lost the conference championship game. Had SMU won they would have gotten the bye, and ASU would have been the only team to have had to win 5 games.

Yes you are correct. I originally posted that Clemson was the only team needing to win 5 games. Hadn't had my coffee yet...

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
