That makes me feel better about the NIU loss. It was a tough loss for ND against a really good NIU team.

The fact that you compare Notre Dame to Louisville is embarrassing:
Be better.
Why? You saying that Louisville losing wasn’t surprising is embarrassing. I guess NIU wasn’t that bad of a loss then if Louisville losing wasn’t surprising.
Nobody. It’s November and nobody looks great. Everyone has flaws especially at the most important position.
However I think there’s atleast 3 or 4 teams better than Oregon
I am surprised by Oregon losing. I put Wisky and Nebraska in the same category of great coaches but lacking in talent.
I’m not.
Winning on the road is difficult week in and week out. Conference road games are a chore to win for most everyone. No matter who you are.
Ohio state lost to them in Eugene but I still think Ohio state is slightly better. I think ND is better. I think Texas is better
Oregon goes up 3 with 2 minutes left!
Ducks hang on for the W.
Georgia now up 14 on Tenn. late.

Espn analytics are a joke. 4th and G from the 6 is a go for it to them. BYU game. Not a chance. You basically never see that unless a TD is a must.
And this does highlight how f+ and a lot of other analytics systems are, at a minimum, not to be taken as gospel — just another tool.

Do we get in the playoff over a 2 loss Tenn team? Probably, but their 2 losses are Georgia and Arkansas, and they beat Bama.
A one loss ND? I’d say 90% and should be 100%. Two loss ND is debatable and probably depends on what A&M does.
The Tenn board thinks they are done unless there are upsets ahead of them.
Gonna be interesting. If Texas loses to A&M, they should be the first two loss team eliminated of the SEC teams though I’m not sure the committee will see it that way. Tenn or Mississippi next IMO as it looks now.
Louisville was 20.5 to 21.5 point favorites. It was surprising Louisville lost. There’s no other way to say it.
What ranking do you use then ? Arkansas is ranked even higher in FPI (@ #30)
FPI: #30
F+: #44
Both of these systems rank teams using play by play data and adjust for opponent quality.
Arkansas would be one of the 3 best teams on NDs schedule so far
Arkansas is better than every ND opponent except TAM, IMO.
Claiming Arkansas is not good is a relative term. Most of Notre Dame’s schedule isn’t good as well.
The only reason someone would have Arkansas ahead of Louisville and GT is SEC bias
Do you ever get tired of coming on this message board and making a fool of yourself being incorrect over and over again?
BYU goes down and looks pathetic doing it
Had a first and ten inside the 15 and they run it three times
totally deserved to lose

For the record, according to your own favorite rankings F-
Louisville 19th
Arkansas 47th
GT 49th
Good chance Arkansas drops below GT next ranking so......
Do you trust your own rankings system or not? You never seen to answer that when it doesn't fit your narrative
With BYU and Tennessee losing, ND should move up in the seedings.
All what Savvy says should be true, I thinks it's better to have a good win and a bad win then two mediocre wins (from the Committee's perspective). So I was rooting for Louisville. But the way they lost--wow. 1 second left and 72 yard field goal required. But then extremely obvious and childish on sportsmanlike conduct makes it a 57 yard field goal attempt. Then they jump off sides to make it a 52 yard field goal. And then the kick just makes it practically scraping the goalpost. Talent can often overcome lack of discipline, but sometimes lack of discipline really bites you in the ass.
Wow. I saw the score last night, which shocked me to no end, but didn't realize it ended that way.
Edit: And then I watched the highlights of the last 6 minutes. Wow again. And Emmet Mosley looked pretty damned good.

Wow. Just saw the highlights. The UL player had no business holding the Stanford player’s leg like that and then the push. I’m glad he got flagged. It really is amazing to me how these guys can’t help themselves or control their emotions.
Its Louisville losing to Stanford.
Again. Louisville.
Why anyone is that overly surprised is what is surprising.
How does that make any effin' sense at all? I know that's your thing, to be forever aggrieved and beleaguered and circling the wagons, completely in line with your bizarro BK persecution. It's all pretend play on the internet, but still, you can't help yourself.
But if you're going to resort to mental gymnastics to totally unnecessarily defend ND's honor when ND's star couldn't be any brighter, can't you come up with something a little more cunning and creative? Your logic is like.... what???
I’m just having some fun with someone who constantly brings up NIU. It’s absurd to say that Louisville losing isn’t surprising. 20 point favorites. -2000 moneyline. 14 point lead. 6-3 vs 2-7. That’s a surprising loss.
There’s no bizarro persecution of Kelly on my end. I call a spade a spade. You are the one who persecutes, calls names, and cries when people say anything negative about BK. People can’t say anything about BK without you chastising them. Take a look in the mirror, hypocrite. You talk about Clausen’s appearance and economic background when it has nothing to do with the topic at hand. That’s the type of thing that would have you running to Kelly’s defense. You’re not a bastion of fairness and objectivity.
You should spend more time on the LSU forums if you love BK so much. Convince them how wrong they are about him. It would actually help him more.
