Remember a few years ago when TCU sat there at 3


Dec 2, 2018, 11:35 AM

then they won 55-3 or something... then dropped to 6 in the final ranking.

What was the reason given for that? That set a pretty big precedent, and I wouldn't be feeling too confident if I was ND.

There’s a difference though...TCU was not undefeated. At the end of the season they had a loss and so did everyone else, but those other teams had a conference championship which separated them in comparison.
Notre Dame has the undefeated record that TCU didn’t.

so you don't think UD, OU, and tOSU are comparable?


Dec 2, 2018, 11:39 AM

OU and tOSU played an extra game, which you could argue makes up for the 1 loss difference. If they are comparable, one of the tie--breaker criteria is a conference championship.

Yes I think they are comparable. I think the conf championship and the no losses cancel each other out. So then you go on to the other criteria. I’m saying it’s not as simple or as justifiable as the TCU situation because it’s not apples to apples.

I don't think that ND has anything to worry about, but keep in mind that TCU and the Big 12 played their last games the week of the championships. Their extra bye was earlier in the season. They were 3 with 11 data points vs 12 data points, and then dropped to 6 while playing. It does make me question if the committee decides (eye test) and then justifies (guidelines and metrics) rather than using the same criteria every week.

Dec 2, 2018, 11:39 AM

Dec 2, 2018, 11:39 AM

Supposed reasoning has been constantly morphing...
