What percentage chance do you give the Irish to win a National Championship Jan 2018?

[Bodizephax]

I say 100 %.
In 1988 we had a Asian kicker Reggie Ho and in 2017 we have an Asian kicker Justin Yoon.. Both deadly accurate... A sign...
1988 was 29 years ago. Our secret weapon and prodical son Kevin Stepherson is #29. Another sign.
In 1988 we were ranked #4 and had to beat an undefeated Miami to get a shot at the title almost exactly like this year. Sign #3.

Zero. One game at a time. Go Irish!

 

[Irish Grandeur]

100%

Who was giving Trump a chance? No one! Somehow, deep down, I knew he would win - so did you, bodi. I can already envision Brian Kelly hoisting the championship trophy while blue and gold confetti is raining down around him.

The biggest sign is the power of the Triumvirate

The number 3 is aligned with ND Natty success

Every coach has won or been in the championship game in their third year

Every year since 2012, ND fans have said Kelly Sux. Linguists now know “sux” is often mistaken for “six” and it is six years (3x2) since the last natty appearance.

It will have been 30 years (3x10) since ND’s last championship.

I used to be 30 years old and Nostradamus used to be called “ND” by his closest friends starting on his 3rd Birthday

In his quatrain —. I can’t recall the number, think it was his 33rd known as the Trucking quatrain —. He predicted warriors wearing gold from the north will be stopped once before sweeping all in their way to greatness

There is more. But I must rest and prepare for the Canes and my flyby with MY wingmen Saturday night

 

[HDK]

In keeping with the 3's theme, I'd say somewhere around 0.33 percent.

Holds as much water as the OP!

I will say 50% Either they do, or they don't!

 

[1Redrum]

I say 20% Why? 5 Games they would need to win. I think they will be favoured in 3 of them minimum (assuming they win every previous game) so each week they are better than a 50/50 chance of winning until either the semi final or final depending on which team they play. Odds against Alabama less based on past history / reputation but if say they played Wisconsin in the semi final I would say ND is favoured.

My Obama phone hasn't worked since January 20th!!!

 

[Bodizephax]

My Obama phone hasn't worked since January 20th!!!

Probably because the sun has been shining alot brighter since that day ! Obama phones only work on cloudy miserable days !

 

[ivan brunetti]

Winning all of

Miami 55%
Navy 75%
Stanford 60%
round one 55%
round two 45%

Equals 5%. Still, better than most!

 

[IrishHerb]

I'd be more than happy if they win it all. But there are so many variables involved and I just don't think ND is deep enough yet, and though Kelly has surrounded himself with excellent assistants I still don't completely trust him in really big games.

Yea it's called global warming.

 

[Irish Grandeur]

We're winning the Natty - that's the end of this discussion.

Don't make me take off this belt!!!

 

[collegepigskinfan]

The odds were 8.5/1 against earlier this week at my sportsbook, ~ 10.5%. FWIW.
