Duke played hard tonight.  Kudos to them they are getting better.  One play on 4th down from the upset

Their season is over if the QB has a broken ankle. 

[SmittysLawnGuy]

That 4th and 16 literally just cost Duke the whole season. Sucks for the young man.

Hope not

[LinvilleGorge]

Oh man, Duke's QB got hurt after the ND TD? I turned it off when ND scored. I fuging hate duke but that fuging sucks if that's what happened. I don't allow my hate for programs bleed over into hating individual kids.

Except for Gerald Henderson. Fug that guy.

[4Corners]

Wow thanks a lot to whoever the the ND player was that just broke the Duke QB’s ankle - you just cost Chapel Hill Gameday.

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.

9/11 esque ending for duke there.

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.

[Buckeye Homer]

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.

Agreed.  I'm trying to remember a meaningful game that Notre Dame won in the past 5 years.  

[Jackie Lee]

Shoulda sucked for Sanders this year. Maybe he'll stay another year
