I think it is absolutly horrible for ND to do what is best for them. They should be making everyone else happy. I sure hope we never think of our program first. That just would not be fair to everyone else.

I'd love to know ow which ADa spoke up. ND shouldn't bite the hand that feeds. https://www.facebook.com/share/1D2ApyAFi3/ First ND leaving the agreement with the ACC would be the start of the slow death of the ACC. Second the BIG would take ND in a heartbeat. Folks may hate them but they fill seats...

Here is my take on this bowl thing. First, I have never been as big a fan of bowls as most are. I probably watch maybe 3-4 a year. ( I am into hockey at this point in the year). In this particular situation we are talking about a 6-6, playing a 5-7. That is all the proof you need that bowls are not ...

Womp. Womp. I was specifically thinking about ND when I said an opt-out should include a ban the following year, not the handful of 5-7 schools ahead of us in the APR. You wanna go home and cry because you didn't make the playoffs?? You get an extra year to think about how badly the committee hurt ...

Lets just be real. This format is not made for the best 12 teams. There will always be arguments as to who should be in. This method is just the farthest you can get from the best 12. It is what it is.

I have to laugh when folks dish on ND for not joining a confrence. All we talk about is how to get more money but folks expect ND to give up a bunch. There is not one person in the country who would be good with their team having to give up money for any reason at all. As far as them not accepting ...

What if that team is good enough to make the playoff the next year? Womp. Womp. I was specifically thinking about ND when I said an opt-out should include a ban the following year, not the handful of 5-7 schools ahead of us in the APR. You wanna go home and cry because you didn't make the playoffs?...

Will it be helpful to lose one more time on ESPN ?

The only bowl spot open is versus Georgia Southern in Birmingham on Monday, Dec. 29.

We might be asked.

We don't deserve it. Hope we don't get asked or turn it around if we are asked.

You are correct in that we do not deserve it. 6-6 is bad enough to be rewarded but 5-7 is just plain silly.

Understood by-laws that the top five ranked conference champions make the CFP, what mental gymnastics will occur to keep ND, Miami, and Bama in over JMU? There are no mental gymnastics available other than elevating Duke. I don't think that happens. The ACC screwed the system and I am sure they cha...

What metric would you suggest to use? James Madison has a stronger Strength of Record than Duke. I have checked several predictive rating systems such as FPI, Sagarin, and SP+, and all put JMU in ahead of Duke. Duke is a mediocre 5 loss team that somehow has more losses to non-Power 5 schools than ...

Seems like a lot of people on this board don’t know how the CFP selection process works. As you rightly pointed out, the selection committee HAS to take one of: JMU (12-1) Duke (8-5) Western Michigan (9-4) Boise (9-4) Kennesaw State (10-3) There are no other options for the SC. What people are miss...

The CFP committee always makes a point of emphasizing that they are picking best not most deserving. If that is true then there is no way JMU gets in the field with the #123 SOS. Not as an at large bid, but that's not what we are talking about. They are now one of the highest ranked conference cham...

JMU in with their SOC is just pittiful and is in no way a good look for the SB.

I do wonder if he reads the board. I would absolutely love (not sarcasm) if I had a place where people openly shared their opinions about my workplace. Maybe he just sees us all as overly whiney. I actually think he sees some folks online as overly whiney. We have some folks who I would love to see...
