Another Boring SEC championship game

Play calling was suspect. Killed GA all game with slants. How about TE down the middle?
 
It would be better if Texas won for us

I think Texas should fall behind ND with a loss. Soundly beat at home by Georgia then if they lose again to the same team without their starting QB in the second half, you should probably drop…maybe even behind PSU as well if PSU loses close.
I don't know why I found myself pulling for Georgia. I guess in my mind the Dawgs didn't really beat GaTech.

I also don't see much between these teams and ND. Maybe kicking game? Maybe more balanced offenses...masked by both teams having good Ds.

But I think ND matches well enough.
I can't tell if the offenses are just that pedestrian, or the defense that badass. It's probably both.

As of right now I'd say ND is the 7 seed, ASU isn't going to be 10. Indiana maybe? IF they put ND ahead of PSU (assuming they lose to Oregon), which I don't think is a guarantee at this point, Alabama could be 11. After today I think ASU is either 3 or 4.
 
So who is better Texas or Georgia Tech? 2 OT victories in 2 weeks for Georgia. Hopefully fortune will turn against them in the playoffs.
 
I dont know why ND fans want the easy route in the playoffs. Beating ASU does nothing for the brand. We should want the opportunity to play the best teams in the biggest games in front of the most eye balls. ND has a good team this year. They need to take on big brands and change the perception of the football program and start gaining some inroads with elite talent on the recruiting trail as a result.
 
Texas will 100% be in front of ND. Not a doubt. The only question left is what they'll do with PSU if they lose a decently close game.

I don't even know if we beat ASU.
 
I feel like ND has nothing to gain playing teams like Boise and ASU

If ND wins "lucky crap opponent that didn't belong in playoff"
If ND loses "ND always sucks can't even get past crap first round team that didn't belong in playoff"

Bring on a top team in SEC or BIG10 in first round, and start changing the perception of the football program with ONE win.
