OT: Notre Dame declines bowl bid

[TouchdownHusky]

The ND hate is ridiculous. Stop and look at it rationally. ND team at present is far better than Bama or Miami. Ranked ahead of Miami at the time these jokers were deliberating, and they also decided they needed 5 SEC teams in the 12. Really? It’s political, money, blah blah blah, join a conference fully, blah. ND, Canes in, Bama out.

ND hate should be greater than it is. Miami beat ND in head to head. Miami beat ND. Miami beat ND. End of discussion. ND needs to be brought down to it knees and made to join a conference like everyone else.

They lost to Miami head to head. To me that is all I need to know. Alabama shouldn’t be there either, but they always seem to get a little extra help.

The funny thing that comes to my mind reading all these bickering posts is that for all of the gyrations of top-level college football through the BCS and various iterations of the CFP we're only marginally better off (at best) than we were 30 years ago with the straight-up AP/Coaches Poll determining the national championship.

typical. They always take-take-take given their unique situation. I get it makes sense to maximize your position, but at some point I think it can cross over into being immoral. They were fiven a high profile home for a LONG time in the Big East for EVERY sport besides football, and that’s when it was a HUGE boost to the second biggest moneymaker in college-mens basketball. They took ALL of those benefits and “rewarded” UConn with ONE football game in exchange for ALL they gained from UConn. For me, it is ALWAYS “F ND.” Always.

ND AD blasts ACC commish for “pushing” Miami for the playoff spot claiming ND is a valued member of the ACC in 24 sports. Yet ND stood to gain $4m if they made the playoffs and because they are not a football member of the ACC they would not have to share any of it with them. They always want it both ways just like when they wouldn’t honor the home and home with us because they wanted to play the UConn home game in either The Meadowlands or in Gillette. I say, screw them whether they rightfully belonged in the playoffs or not.

Typical entitled ND rhetoric. I would love to see them join the SEC and really get their asses kicked by the teams that rightfully are in the playoffs.
