2020 Nd beats Clemson in a classic during the reg season. Both teams missing players. The conference championship was a joke because the Irish knew they were in and Clemson knew they had to win to get in.
I believe the Irish would have beat Clemson in the playoffs that year as Clemson was trending downhill. Instead the Irish get a game against the greatest offense in college football history with Alabama.

2021 Georgia crushes everyone to get to #1 by a landslide. They know they will get to the playoffs no matter what happens. Alabama knows they have to win to get in. Surprise, Alabama crushes Georgia. But good for Georgia, unlike Notre Dame in 2020, they only drop to #3 and get to play Michigan to advance.
I believe Georgia will beat Michigan and Alabama to win the NC this year. They are the best team and they will prove it.
Cinci will get destroyed. The committee should never have let them in.
