Don't see how you can make them join a conference. The selection rules for the next CFP agreement need to stipulate that there will be a strong SOS component like they have for baseball and basketball.

That’s the whole point with Gerry’s “hi”. It’s intentionally vague but clear in what it means…😂 keep it coming Gerry!!! Hook’em

It is if ND gets a playoff berth and Texas loses a berth despite having a stronger SOS… ND, by being independent now has the easiest path to CFP because of the 12 team scheme (and maybe 16 team scheme)

He’s safe. They’ll fire two assistants and keep Earley.

ND is overrated so often now. This isn't the college football of older days anymore. Get in a conference and earn your spot in the playoffs.

Townsend is faster than Teddy Lehman.

I don't see the issue with ND's scheduling and remaining independent? It's not like they lost to Northern Southern Illinois and made the National Championship or anything.

Just wanted to clarify, the TexAgs guy was antagonistic. Not the way you approach a long-term coach that you would think they would be trying to court favor.

This thread made me think back to the 2005 National Championship season. There were several freshmen with no production in DI football, that figured heavily into that season - Jamaal Charles (878 yds rushing, 13 TDs), Henry Melton (432 yds rushing, 10 TDs), Ramonce Taylor (513 yds rushing, 265 yds receiving, 15 TDs), Quan Cosby (yeah, I know, he was 22 yo as a freshman, but still 270 yds receiving, 2 TDs) and those are just on offense. We don't win that NC without those first-year players.

We are in the process of discussing a whole bunch of exciting new features. I’ll bring this up.

I don’t think she’s an Aggie. I want to say maybe LSU.

Best all around football player in the class. I’m a big fan.

ND is not our problem.

They should be able to do whatever they want. If I were the CFB commissioner…

At this point i would bet no because ojo seems himself as a left tackle and i am not sure turntine is or wants to be a right tackle

You want to fix the committee, not the independent status. The right committee handles anyone’s weak schedule.

I'm alright with it. Tough competition in the regular season prepares you for the postseason. Few to zero teams win national titles without being challenged during the regular season. If ND isn't adequately challenged, they will eventually flame out in the post season.

Fair? No, but when is life fair? I think they should be in a conference, but them not having the ability to get a 1st round bye makes it a bit better.

I am way more excited for the guy who’s actually had production at that position on this level, Endries. Townsend’s going to need time to develop. If he would’ve got here for spring ball i would’ve maybe thought differently.

Just ordered 2 🤘

Can't be very fun. To come back again and again is tiresome work.

It was so mentally tough. Physically it was challenging, make no mistake. The strength and range of motion can take so long to get back to 100%. And the confidence to really go all-out takes even longer. But it's the mental part that is the most challenging. It's just you vs. yourself every day for nearly a year. You have to want it so bad. You can't fake it or half-ass your work, or you'll never make it.

Dang that had to suck!

I would fall down on my face on the one legged hops.
