How many teams right now would be favored over Notre Dame on a neutral field?

PSU wouldn‘t be favored over ND.
Alabama wouldn‘t be either.
Oklahoma wouldn‘t be.
Texas wouldn‘t be.

UGa by maybe 6-7. Maybe.
UM by 6-7
UO by 6-7 (unlucky to lose to UW as they were better than UW on the road for most of the game)
UW maybe 4 or 5
FSU by 3
OSU by maybe 3.

I don’t think any other team would be.

I would still think ghise 4 would be just because of the offensive play though the defense could make it harder for those on the committee.

I would be curious what Vagas would put the Irish against those 4
 
Alabama and Oklahoma absolutely would be.
Alabama with Milroe isn’t going to be favored on a neutral field the way that the Tide has played. That might change by the end of the season, but I don’t think so.

The way Oklahoma has played the last few weeks and the way it played against Kansas today… It wouldn’t be favored over Notre Dame, either.
 
LSU
Penn State
Florida State
Texas
OU
Washington
Alabama
Oregon
Georgia
Ohio State
Michigan

We make more money than all of them except like 3 of them yet we are behind 11 of them at least most years. Makes no sense. Gotta get better. Way better, especially when you consider how far ahead the top several programs are.
I think 1 point spreads at most either way on the first 4. We would be favored over OU by 3 or so. Bottom 6 we would not be favored.
 
Oklahoma would not be favored against Notre Dame
They absolutely would. Lines aren't made on the better team it's on the money line and Oklahoma on a neutral field would be a 2-3 point favorite all day.

Completely disagree. We are the better team. Vegas would see that. We'd be favored
 
As of right now is 3.5. Clemson opened as a 5 pt fav and it is moving, although I'll say it will peak as a pick em as some will see this as a big Dabo redemption game.

Same thing would happen vs OU and Alabama. And would not be favored in either.

Nah. The numbers before today's game had ND around a 2 point road favorite. The new numbers will favor the Irish even more.

So more money makes you better ?

Is that how government works ?

More money means you should have the resources necessary to properly invest in your product at the level necessary to compete with anybody in the sport at the very least
 
I wouldnt be surprised

1. OSU
2. Georgia
3. Washington
4. FSU
5. Michigan
6. Oregon
Washington got so lucky against Stanford. The dude dropped an easy pass on 4th and 2.

Their QB is the real deal. Looked better than Pennick. Not gonna be the cake walk I thought.
 
If the CFP really looks at resume, it would be OSU, FSU and Wash followed by UGA.

What site do you use?

I use Fanduel and Notre Dame is a 3.5 point favorite
Fanduel has ND -3.5; Draftkings has Clemson -1.5. I’m pretty certain ND will be favored in both in a few days.

I don’t know about UGa—its current SOS sits at #100 though it will get much harder. No way the CFP committee leaves the Dawgs out of the top 4, but they haven’t been the team we’ve known these past years. Washington deserves it after that UO win, but it got outplayed in that game in many ways and was fortunate to win. UO looks to be a better, stronger, more balanced team both offensive and defensively and just within offense itself.

UGA's schedule is just so bad. I mean 3 of the 8 wins are sub D1. Auburn was 7 point win and Vandy put up 20.

I'm only going by who they have played to date. They win the next 3 weeks, maybe they go to 2 or 3. They are 1 because the dominated the last 2 years.

Their schedule was setup nice for a new QB. They looked good against FL. i have them in my top 4
 
The point is... if a 4 loss Clemson team is damn near even with ND...odds makers don't like them. Moreover if you think 1 loss ou or bama would not be favored your delusional...

As a home game maybe ND would be even with OU the way they are playing.. but bama... nope

Oklahoma would not be favored over us
 
Sports book wire has it at -1.5 Clemson. ND opened as a 3.5 fav.

Probably go back and forth to game day.

That sounds like a great middle.

Vegas does not really care if you lose by 1 or win by 1, they are only predicting based on power. Clemson's losses were all one score games.

Oklahoma would not be favored over us
Maybe slightly. THere is a lot of parity this year.

If you’re going strictly by résumé, yes. If you add in the eye test, no.

Michigan is currently a 6pt favorite home against OSU on Nov 25th, even with the lackluster schedule.

Eye test when you don't play anyone isn't that impressive.
 
I dont know. Oklahoma was favored over Kansas. Who cares. Gotta play on the field
Sure do. I’m just saying it looks like resume does not always win over eye test, for instance, Vegas predictions.
