CFP Semifinals: Alabama vs. ND

[nctarheelreincarnated]

Yeah, ND is wayyyyyyyy worse than OU. Fluke ass win vs Clemson. 

[Cuttinedge]

ND didn’t belong in this Clemson proved that in the acc championship game.

The NCAA overlooking the SEC's constant recruiting infractions has ruined College Football I'm afraid.

This is literally the best College team money can buy.

If you want to know how good a coach Saban really is, look at the guy that ran away from the Dolphins when he realised he'd have to compete on a level playing field.

This is not just going to be ugly.

Its going to be an embarrassment for ND and CFP

Gotta stop thinking ND is anything other than just a solid team. That’s all they are. Every, single, year.

I’m biased, but I would like to see Mac Jones as a Panther. I don’t think it should be at #9 though. 

I do not either---but if you have 14 teams shopping for a QB---it could come down to it--worse case scenario, of course.

I'm with you. I've read all about the negatives, but all he does is make plays. I know he has playmakers all around him, but he still has to get them the ball on time and he does that. Nothing appears to fluster him. Writers have compared him to Brady. Not gonna go that far, but I think he will be a good pro.

I’ve totally compared Jones to Brady this season, especially in his pocket awareness/presence. He looks just like TB12 moving around the pocket.

That's what I'm hoping for after the ACC rolled over and let ND play a full conference schedule and qualify for the ACC CG as a one off for this year. You're either in or you're out. The ACC should've never allowed that bullshit

Yes.  Remember when Cam's dad was taking bids---

Why I like Rhule--he won with disadvantaged programs. He coached em up.  Bama, Ohio State, etc. are programs that bring in the best athletes in the country and filter them out--

It does need to be noted though that he never found success against good teams. His record can top 25 teams was abysmal, his only two wins against ranked opponents coming against perennial power houses Navy and East Carolina.

If I knew we could trade back 7 or 8 spots and then get Jones and a second rounder, it might be worth it.

[Cuttinedge]

I don’t think this is Alabama’s     best defensive squad. They aren’t dominate at all. 
national championship of Clemson and Alabama might go over 100 total score

I’d like to see him playing from behind or under pressure, but you can’t fault him for having talent around him. Lawrence and Burrow have and had talent all around them and aren’t/weren’t faulted for it.
