RIDICULOUS that Notre Dame is guaranteed a spot when they pick and choose who they’ll play and refuse to join a conference.

I'm OK with that. 24 was crazy.

+1,000

Ohio State is 100% a must win game with this news coming out. If they lose to Ohio State, Texas must go 8-1 in regular season SEC play to make the CFP in the 12-team format and it's unlikely that happens. Texas is not backing out of that game or the Michigan game in 2027. They should back out of the Notre Dame home and home, but I bet there is some legal things to work out before that happens. I'm assuming that is the reason that series has not been cancelled yet.

We can be done pretending it’s about the 12 BEST teams. I don’t want to hear that once this year.

If Arch kicks butt we'll win the title. If he doesn't we won't. Left guard won't change that.

12 is fine if it’s the top 12 ranked teams at the end of the year. No auto bids. If there’s 6 sec teams. Fine. Just take the top 12 ranked teams. We want the best competition

Sark already said they’d honor the Ohio st and Michigan games. I’d bet the ND game will be canceled. Though I’d like to put a beating on them. It’s gonna send ND a message.

12 is fine if they just eliminate the auto bids for the G5 . I could get behind eliminating auto bids altogether, but the G5 shouldn’t be given one period.

Can the surgeon play LG?

Yes it is

I guess in the era of the portal nobody believes development of younger guys is a thing anymore. Hard to imagine how anybody coming up gets a chance with this mindset. You don’t know what the next man up can do if he’s never given the chance to be the next man up

4-8 would be preferred. 12 is already too many.

it depends on the procedure. From the sounds of it, they are just cleaning it up a little...at least i hope.

You need to adjust for inflation (and Arch's relative worth compared to Lee Majors).

so you are telling me that our starting Oline is going to be all backups?? GOT IT

As someone who has had surgery on both shoulders, I'm not sure about that. They take awhile to get range of motion and strength back. Weight lifting is going to be a problem. Also, they feel tender. The last thing I would have wanted was the kind of contact associated with football, especially on the D1 level. It's going to set every player having shoulder surgery back at least 4 months.

To this point, it sounds like it’s happening already https://frontofficesports.com/acc-plans-tiebreaker-changes-for-2026-after-cfp-near-miss/

Hopefully they don't miss too much time for offseason workouts.

Cancel Ohio state. Why play that when only winning matters. Play a small directional school and warm up. If we play and lose history will repeat itself just not a smart decision to play this game.

It’s not that far removed, when you think about it. The bowl game was on New Year’s Eve and with the holiday, it probably wasn’t possible for everyone to have their surgery right away.

Notre dame plays 8 teams that lost 8 games last year. They should be a lock for top 12 along with tech

Just a shame. We should cancel the Ohio state game. Just not a smart move for either team to play. Why put yourself behind after first game. History will repeat itself when you leave it to a subjective committee. Cancel and play a small team. Get ready for the season.
