I do get that, but couple of bounces from being unbeaten which makes a massive difference.

Understood but now they are in a position where if they run the table they are definitely in. Had they lost later in the season due to the timing they could have been jumped by a team with a conference championship.

I feel like looking back, we got manhandled by the Georgia defensive line and were lucky to keep it that close. This is not a team that should ever rush for 55 yards or whatever they got held to that game

While the dream can be dreamt, it is possible we could go to our 2nd Rose Bowl this year.

Straight up murdering teams 1988 style. This group is so much fun to watch.

The offensive line is absolutely incredible.

Georgia blows another team out which makes ND's one point loss look even better. Penn State goes down. TCU goes down. Only way this day gets better is if Georgia Tech finds a way to beat Clemson.

Playoff rankings should be very interesting.

That woulda been quite a game if the Wolfies would have stuck wit passing. They had quite a few nervous 3rd down conversions. But our D line is just totally overachieving.

NC State had some really elite plays in that game which kept them competitive early on, their game against Clemson should be very interesting

Up to #8 in coaches (lol) and #5 in AP. If the Committee goes by full body of work, I fully expect us to be Top 4 in the initial standings come Tuesday.

Such unmitigated confidence that a pack of big conference stooges are going support the independent. It's everywhere I look.

Doesn't matter lads. We win out, we're in. We drop a game, game over for this year. And I'm fine with that.

Can we really survive two tough road tests and two trap games? Feels like 2015 to me in all honesty.

Playoffs or no playoffs this ND team is legit.

We are definitely improved. Our record on the road in Florida and Palo Alto has been abysmal.

Gotta keep taking care of business in a convincing way. Worried, for example, if anOSU, OU, and Clemson all win out.

Been way too long since we got to fold our arms over imperfect garbage time play.

Well, actually it was every win with BVG.

Defense sleep walked through the game. I think it will be a good wake up call before Miami.

Only Wisc. has a chance left for the BUG to make the playoffs, with their signature win this season coming against Mary Mother of the Blind.

Wisconsin's best possible win this year will be against like a #20 or so team

I'm sure this will be hashed out ad nauseum elsewhere but everybody has a problem with the Mercer-fed $EC if two 12-0 teams meet in the CCG. IT's difficult to say that 12-1 UGA is worse than 12-1 Wiscy or various 2 loss teams and keep a straight face.

And shaft 3 conferences with a 1. Bama 2. Uga 3. ND ...? fuggedaboudit.
