They aren’t helped by USC and Stanford being down. Michigan probably won’t be ranked by the end of the year once they lose a few more times. Virginia too. Georgia will be their only ranked game and they lost...not going to help their playoff case...especially since they don’t play a conference championship game like everyone else.

I think a playoff caliber team should play a strong OOC schedule...not gimmies no matter who they are. I mean Georgia played Murray State...that’s just wrong imo. A team like IU who I get it...but only D1 games should count to bowl eligibility and if you want to play in the playoffs...I think your schedule should live up to your status. If I’m SEC commissioner I have a list of approved conferences you can play....not these lower level teams. It’s bad football honestly. So you're saying national championship contenders should make things harder on themselves? Why would anyone do that? Murray State is D-1, by the way.

When a team schedules a cupcake I call it for what it is. I'm not trying to bash ND. I like ND it's an Indiana school. I was just saying that game was awful Saturday and the fans didn't get their money's worth. When you play one less game and no conference championship unlike the SEC, ACC, PAC12, BIG12, B1G then you better pack your schedule. The Georgia game was a big game and I give Georgia and ND credit for scheduling it...but ND lost...and I just don't see how they will make the playoffs with what they have left. That's all.

I don't give a hoot about the play-offs. We are talking schedules here. No more, no less. Notre Dame plays their schedule and there are worthy opponents on it. And fyi, these schedules are made years in advance.

Look at the date on this write-up on ND's 2020 schedule... https://fbschedules.com/notre-dame-2020-football-schedule/ ND has a good schedule. They can't control which ACC teams they play. I think that is why they scheduled Georgia knowing they had some weaker opponents. Honestly I am not trying to single out ND. It was a bad game against a very weak opponent. I understand that they scheduled several years out. That said if you are going to schedule a weaker conference opponent you risk that team being awful by the time you play them. All I was saying is if they want to make the playoffs (as is their goal every year and as a fan that's what I would want for them) they would be better served keeping to power conferences. I also would like to see them play Purdue again...those were always good games. I agree they do better than most...I just don't like seeing bad football. This was not a bash ND thread...I was just observing the poor competition just like I do when it's Alabama or Miami or Oklahoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Georgia now got bailed out by a dumb coach decision. 58 yd fg??! It was 4th and a long 2...either go for it or punt it...so dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leathernecks Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 South Carolina was lost coming out of the huddle late on 4th and 1, and Georgia bailed them out with a time out.

dgambill Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Wow multiple missed fgs...and Georgia loses. The team that played harder and sharper won today....not the best team but put it to the Bulldogs. Georgia didn’t look good. That loss pretty much knocks ND out of the playoffs.

That Georgia loss pretty much knocks ND out of the playoffs? If UGA wins out, they would be the SEC East champs. Still football to be played. But I think burying ND is a tad premature at this point.
