That assumes they take real classes.
Only team that beat Georgia.
Honestly, what Notre Dame fan would care about any bowl game that they got put into at this point? Notre Dame got screwed by the CFP committee, and I totally back them in saying no we’re not going to put our tails between our legs and do what we’re told and go play a totally meaningless bowl game so ESPN can use Notre Dame’s name and drawing power to make $$$.
I have a few different feelings about it
This is why Alabama is in and ND is out. Everyone is hating on Notre Dame, but the real enemy threatening the survival of football as we know it is the Big Ten and the SEC.
And you go give your lunch money to help these "poor" athletes. I mean they toil so very hard and make being a coal miner, a factory worker, a farmer look like they have cush jobs. They are STUDENT- athletes, getting a full scholarship at schools some of them would otherwise be hard pressed to get into.
Maybe then they should have beaten Miami when they played head to head.
This. It’ll be less than a decade, we’re literally talking a few years.
I know...that was me trying to be optimistic but most people on this board think I'm a pessimist lol
They didn't get in, so what? Every season schools feel they get screwed in football whether it's the BCS or the playoffs, same goes for the NCAA tournament. Seton Hall got screwed out of the NCAA tournament two seasons ago. They didn't whine and take their basketball home. They accepted their invitation to the NIT and they won the NIT.
Everyone is spinning it to fit their narrative. Bama's name recognition and history got them in, like Notre Dame doesn't have unbelievable name recognition and history. Miami doesn't deserve it because the ACC sucks. Notre Dame was left out because they don't have a conference and this will force them to join a conference. Bama got in because the SEC is evil and controls college sports...
Teams decline NIT invitations every year. And Notre Dame is far from the only team declining a bowl invitation this year.
Had been trying to follow on ESPN. I fully agree that if you were picking based on “who is most likely to make a run, Bama would be the odd team out. In basketball, I’ve always favored resume based analysis as opposed to performance based analysis, but I understand why both methods exist.
They didn't always... basketball was just ahead of football in deciding the real tournament was the only thing that mattered and if you weren't there, you might as well turn the page to next season.
That's it everyone who thinks it's wrong that ND turned a bowl bid is a hater but every ND fan who thinks they made the right decision isn't a homer got it, victim mentality at its finest.
