ND's Clear Path to the CFP

While ND certainly still has a possibility of swerving her way into the playoff, I wouldn't label the pathway as "clear".

The Irish lost to the two toughest games on the schedule and lost them both. One was a modern day massacre. This is a qualifier to still be in the play-off discussion? They had their chance. Now it's time to try and win out to earn a major bowl bid.

Normally I'd agree, but since we're still ranked 8th with 3 weeks of games to go, we actually still have a slim chance.

When did a two loss Auburn team "win it all?" If you're referring to the 2010 Cam Newton team, they were undefeated.

I can't think of any other Auburn team that won the MNC in the last 50 or 60 years, two losses or not. Are you thinking perhaps of the 2013 team? They lost to FSU in the title game.

My bad. I was thinking of LSU not Auburn. And that was before there were so many championship games. A two loss team with a championship game will never get in the final four.

So, you are saying that it's possible to get a two-loss team in a two-team playoff game but impossible to get a two-loss team into a four-team playoff? Ok..got it

Did you mean without a championship game? I'm thinking maybe you're not having much posting luck in this thread.
