Getting one on one at the goal line on 4th down in the conf championship game with 30 Seconds on a game deciding play and getting the stop should only show up in a movie script. That was awesome.

No.
ND's highest ranking in the final AP poll under Kelly was 4th. They finished unranked more often (four times) than they finished in the top 10 (three times). His record in major bowl games (playoffs or Jan. 1 group) is 0-4, losing by 28, 16, 27 and 17 points in those games. His winning percentage at ND is .739.

Let's compare him with Ara Parseghian. Four finishes in the AP top 3, including two national titles. 3-2 record in major bowl games. Two undefeated seasons. Zero seasons unranked. Nine seasons ranked in the top 10. Winning percentage at ND of .836.

Really, it's not close.
Other coaches with titles and better win percentages at ND: Dan Devine, Lou Holtz, Frank Leahy, Knute Rockne*.

* = pre AP final poll
Ara set the standard for ND Football. During his tenure they were consistently in The National Championship discussion literally every year . Their rivalry with USC during that time was incredible .
Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.

Ara’s time and record is irrelevant to 2022

ND's playoff chances improved significantly with the Okla State loss.

I'm a hater ... but I have to admit that it would be pretty cool if Kelly's replacement wins a title after Kelly left to have a better shot at a title.

Actually, he left for the $$$, but the other thing, too.

Dawgs/Tide is a lot of fun. Have no idea how Bryce Young was able to recover that football.

A really important play on his part.  He’s been incredible today after taking a beating last week at Auburn

He just threw an absolute ROCKET for that last TD.  He's unreal.

So, Bama, UGA, Michigan, and Cincy?  There is no way in hell they can put ND in over Cincy.  And Cincy thumping a ranked opponent today should be the coup de grace.

They can put ND in over a two loss Michigan.

Right, but I can't see Michigan losing to a dogsh** Iowa team, but who knows.

Better Bama QB, Young or Tua?

Young sure looks pretty poised back there.  He’s less mobile than Tua, though it doesn’t look that way tonight

Kirby Smart panicking into bad decisions against Bama is very on brand.

Even if Michigan rolls, watch the committee won't rematch Alabama/Georgia in the semi's.

I thought maybe you make Bama #1 cause this is impressive as hell.

Assuming Bama holds on and Michigan wins…

Georgia v Michigan

I think he meant they’d put UGA at 3, which is kind of what I think they might do, too

This seems correct. Doesn't really matter much who's #2 and who's #3.

If Michigan rolls, they should be #1. Yet, the committee is not going to put two SEC teams playing against each other if the semi's.

Last SEC East team to beat Alabama?  The 2010 South Carolina Gamecocks.

Well, they are ahead of Alabama now. If, Michigan rolls they shouldn't be jumped. Poll era that wouldn't happen.

If there wasn't two SEC teams involved they wouldn't be jumped. They will be jumped to avoid a rematch in the semi's.
