The dude has been a helluva college QB, I just don't think he has the physical talent to translate. His best case scenario is carving out a career as a backup but is he really more talented than Will Grier? I don't think so and Grier is struggling mightily to hang onto an NFL career.

I think Grier was more talented.

You guys should have seen the game thread on the Notre Dame thread.  It was a complete meltdown and then the miracle happened.  Notre Dame plays at Louisville next week.  The Irish better figure it out or they're going to get beat.  

ND just isn't that good and their ranking is all about the golden helmets. They should be well accustomed to that reality by this point.

It was thought that, with a new OC and the transfer of Sam Hartmann, that Notre Dame would be much better this year.  They have a good tight-end but no real playmakers at receiver.  They're a good team but not playoff caliber.  For that matter, neither are my Buckeyes.  But back to Notre Dame, they host USC in 2 weeks and later they play at Clemson.  Right now I think Notre Dame is an 8 or 9-win team.  

Ohio State's #1 problem is the loss of CJ Stroud to the draft.  Our QB play is nowhere near what CJ did.  As well, our OL is not nearly as good, which isn't suprising based on the guys we lost to the NFL, including left tackle Paris Johnson, taken #6 by Arizona.  

ND has never been playoff caliber. Every time they've ever made the playoffs they've gotten absolutely wrecked. But that's never mattered. Every opportunity the committee has ever had they've put them in anyway.

I hate Notre Dame as much as anyone, but saying they aren’t good or not playoff worthy is a trash take.  They had Ohio State BEAT with 1 second left in the game, just couldn’t get that stop.  If they do, everyone is talking about ND.

Opposite mojo with the Duke game today…Notre Dame was DONE if Duke converts. 4th and 16 with seconds left.

Both are good teams this year.  Sucks about Duke’s QB.

Also, #1 Georgia easily could have lost today in the final minute. 

Parity is good. One play at the end can change the outcome.

Agreed. The fighting Irish are the REAL DEAL this season with a steller coaching staff led by Freeman, a leader of men.

Due to the lack of competetiveness in FBS football, we've had a lot of BAD playoff games.  There are a number of teams who have received playoff bids only to get blown out.  Ohio State was one of them in 2016, losing 31-0 to Clemson.  

OSU tend to be overrated for the CFP and should just stick to the BCS. Not sure why they keep getting the best 5 star receiving recruits to commit.

If I had to pick the playoff teams right now I would seed them like this.  

#1 Georgia vs. #4 Florida State

#2 Texas vs. #3 Michigan

#5 Oregon (best team in Pac12, they're next man up if one of the top-4 falters).  Washington is #6.  Penn State #7.  Ohio State #8.  Alabama #9.  USC #10.  

Texas has played not 1, not 2, but 3 backup QB's the past 3 weeks.

      Joint Practice - Jets

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
