Assume the worst. It always works for me.
Makes perfect sense...Buckeye giving a game to Michigan. You can't make this **** up.
They are so full of crap. No way in hell they would purposely lose to Michigan. It is their most important game.
Both Fleming and Wallace have nagging injuries. Denmark is going to play more. So will Dinkins in two TE formation.
Doubtful
Parking and concessions. CFP gets tix revenue.
That gives the committee the wiggle room to organize the matchups they’d prefer and avoid PSU vs Indy or Georgia vs Tennessee type games in the playoffs.
Two interceptions in the red zone and two missed field goals will ruin your day.
Except that if they win, they’re probably the number one overall seed and at minimum number two.
Um, Big 10 championship….seems like a pretty big benefit to me.
A lot of our key players are from the 6th ranked recruiting class of 2022. Most of them will be gone after this year and subsequent recruiting classes have been ~ 15th. PSU could really use a BiG title to jumpstart recruiting.
Just ask USC who had much better stats than ND except for 2 pick 6s.
Sure, but what’s the benefit? Home field advantage in one more playoff game? Nobody better get hurt or disqualified in the second half.
It was obvious that this outcome was going to bring the conspiracy wackjobs out of the woodwork.
Well, OK then. If we win and get a bye, I now see why it’s worth playing. I thought we’d still have to play in a playoff game.I mean other than, I dunno, winning the Big Ten.
Even ignoring the chance to get a bye in the CFP and #1 or 2 seed.
If those fans actually believe that, then I don't ever want to hear them proclaim again that what they call "The Game" is the most important thing on the annual calendar next to Christmas and a bigger rivalry than the ancient Israelites vs. the Philistines. If you think you could throw a game against your archrival, then what you claim is such a big deal truly isn't.
Every team that plays in the 1st round who did NOT play in their CCG gets a defacto bye, and their bye actually allowed them to heal some injuries.
Yes it did, we won the Big…same thing that’s being said 30 years later about the 94 team…at least we have a conference championship that year, otherwise we’d have nothing to show for an undefeated season.
The 1994 team was ranked #1 by the New York times and Sagarin.... Plus 3 other ranking polls.
