Quote from: CreightonWarrior on Today at 08:51:59 AMSportscenter said he was the first player to do it since 1978. Pretty damn funny. Would've been even more funny if it was in Philly to watch Philly Sports Fan TM melt down.

Was it Bob Avellini in '78? 

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on Today at 08:52:11 AMMy view on the "head to head" game is that it was the first game of the season, at Miami, and that ND was starting a true freshman QB. My opinion (as an anti-ND guy too) is that game should have minimal value.

Also, unlike ND, Miami played an FCS team. Was ND's schedule really any weaker than Miami's?

Your points a valid and logical. The overarching answer to all of this is that the committee was not going to leave the ACC out. Their process and explanation does not pass the smell test because they set aside any logic to make it happen.
    + conference championship games don't matter, except when they do
    + head to heads don't not matter, except when they do.
    + For years when you lost and how you were playing at the end of the year mattered, except this year.

I think it is very reasonable to have Miami in over ND, but the process has become the joke.

Apparently Dayton's Super Bowl this year was an overtime win over a sub-150 team.

Al also was being whiny and petulant.

Hamiltoe has more than 2.5 seasons left to become a significant contributor.  If he continues to improve as much as he has over the past two years....have some hot sauce ready in 2027.

Marquette fans showing True Grit.

Quote from: CreightonWarrior on Today at 06:04:43 AMA little harsh to charge Hurts with a fumble lost on that one interception sequence last night but still hilarious and deserving.

Quote from: BM1090 on Today at 12:24:28 AMI know they were never getting in with a third loss, Texas' resume impresses me a lot more than the teams in front of them.

You have a good point. It all goes back to the Florida loss, a team Miami thumped. Not very common to have a loss in the Swamp be a bad loss.
