It’s PAYBACK time.

Payback? The only way to get payback is to win it all this year. Beating Notre Dame won’t prove anything if we don’t even make the playoffs this year

We are are 2-0 against them so......

Good point. Original post is asinine.

We would have an argument that we belonged in the playoff last year if we had run Texas out of the stadium. Instead, we came out acting like we were too good to be there and showed the nation that we weren’t a top 4 team. Notre Dame has nothing to do with that.

Respectfully disagree.

Notre Dame losing 30-3 proved they didn’t belong in that playoff game.

Were you excited to be playing in the Sugar instead of the playoff? It was a fking bummer & lame consolation. And while Texas played the game of their lives, we played like crap & Texas fans were still sweating bullets in the last minute as we went for that onsides kick. For all the talk about an arse-kicking, they won by 7. Meh.

Sure, granted, it wasn’t a good look. But if you’re not playing in the playoff, you’ve lost already.

Saturday, we’re gonna kick the shite out of Notre Dame. And there’s nothing they can do about it. And it’s gonna feel good knocking them out of the playoffs in week 4.

Are you drunk? Payback for what?

We beat them in 2017. I personally LMAO when they got blown out in the playoffs and I'm going to LMAO again come Saturday night.

Bama went GA, Oklahoma, then Clemson
Clemson went 7-5 Pitt, Notre Dame, then Bama.

Who had the easier route there?

It boggles my mind that even after 5 years some people are still completely mystified by how the playoffs work and how teams are selected. We had 2 losses and didn't win our conference, there is a 0.0% chance that resume is getting into the playoffs, end of story. Oh and notre dame went 12-0 with several solid wins. What happens AFTER the matchups are picked is 100% entirely irrelevant. Notre dame deserved to be in, we did not. And that's what the committee chose.

Payback for taking a playoff spot based on special consideration

Please I'm begging you, don't be this dumb. Please don't.

no conference championship game,

they didn't win a conference and neither did we. They did happen to go undefeated though compared to our 2 losses.

mediocre schedule,

---

they beat Michigan and Syracuse who both finished the regular season in the top 17 (UM in the top 10). We beat UF and UK who both finished the regular season in the top 17 (UF in the top 10). We also lost to the 2 best teams we played.

and their name

don't be dumb

Clemson destroyed them clearly demonstrating that the Irish were never a real contender

---

so us getting embrassed by texas also proves we shouldn't have been in the playoffs either, right?

quote:

Same as in 2012.

In 2012 they were undefeated and the only team that could make a case to be in over them was ohio state, who was ineligible to play in any postseason games after the regular season. Soooo they kinda went by default.

I’m tired of ND getting special treatment

they don't get special treatment, aside from media talking heads talking about them more than they should. Which has nothing to do with the actual games or what happens on the field.

The playoffs & the championship are about the best teams in college football playing.

So answer this: 2018 GA vs 2018 ND. Who wins?

And as far as undefeated. You’d think a team that goes 12-0 would score more than a field goal in a playoff game. If you watched it, that game was over in the first 10 minutes.

And ND absolutely gets special consideration. They don’t play a conference championship game. What more evidence do you want other than the fact that in their title game & playoff game they got DESTROYED. After those games, NOBODY was saying ND belonged in those games. Nobody. They were seen as a joke, fool’s gold, not deserving.

But you do you. I’m sure Smart, Fromm & Swift would be real happy to know you think 2018 ND was better than them.

as much as people want to think that, that's not how it works. It's the best resume. "best team" is hard to quantify, so is the infamous "eye test". It's about playing 12 or 13 games and seeing who has earned it the most.

In a game with something actually on the line, UGA easily by a few touchdowns. But once again that doesn't matter, what matters is they went 12-0 and we went 10-2. We lost our chance to make the playoffs. This really isn't difficult to understand.

you keep jumping back and forth between pre and post playoff selection. The whole entire point is about who deserves to make or who did make the playoffs. Whatever happens after that is irrelevant to that discussion. By your logic alabama shouldn't have made the playoffs since they lost by 4 TDs. By your logic we shoudln't have made the playoffs either after getting pantsed by texas, yet you somehow think we owe them payback for taking our spot? YOu're all over the place

which means they have to go undefeated to have a chance at the playoffs..you realize that right? You know the last time ND has played for a national title after losing in the regular season? 1977. Nineteen SEVENTY SEVEN. Meaning, if they want to win a title or make the playoffs, they pretty much 99.99% have to go undefeated in the regular season. How would you like it if we faced those same circumstances?

And I'm sure they're equally embarrassed that you represent their fanbase.
