Goodbye FSU.
Goodbye Utah.

Still a long shot for the playoffs, but with the craziness of the FBS this year, ND is still very much alive.

Doesn't matter what GT's record is. They took out FSU who was ahead of ND. So Georgia Tech helped ND with their win last night.Fly4Fun;1758828 wrote:I'll give you USC, but don't kid yourself about GT.
With the win tonight they have moved to 3-5.
I believe it has to do with whether it was blocked in front of (dead) or behind (live) the LOS.Mulva;1758801 wrote:I was under the impression that a blocked kick that lands past the LOS is dead.
Gotcha, I thought you were talking about quality wins for the resume.sherm03;1758847 wrote:Doesn't matter what GT's record is. They took out FSU who was ahead of ND. So Georgia Tech helped ND with their win last night.
My bad. I didn't clarify. I don't think ND has any quality wins at this point. So the only way I see them getting in is with the teams ahead of them losing and dropping out.Fly4Fun;1758939 wrote:Gotcha, I thought you were talking about quality wins for the resume.
It will be tough for them, but strange things have happened in November before. I see a Big 10 champ, Big 12 champ, SEC champ, and Clemson getting in before them. I think they would need 2 losses from one of the previous 4 groups listed.sherm03;1758951 wrote:My bad. I didn't clarify. I don't think ND has any quality wins at this point.

I'll be interested to see the first set of rankings from the playoff committee. That will give a much better idea of who ahead of ND will have to lose to open up the door for them.Al Bundy;1758960 wrote:It will be tough for them, but strange things have happened in November before.

But there are also undefeated teams behind them who would pass them at some pointsherm03;1758971 wrote:I'll be interested to see the first set of rankings from the playoff committee. That will give a much better idea of who ahead of ND will have to lose to open up the door for them.
I don't think that's necessarily true. Oklahoma State would if they stayed undefeated because they'd have wins over TCU, Baylor, and Oklahoma. I don't think there's any way they beat all three of those teams. Iowa might stay undefeated and I guess could possibly jump ND. But I think they get crushed in the B1G championship game against either OSU or Sparty so it wouldn't matter. Outside of those two, I don't think Houston, Memphis, or Toledo would jump Notre Dame.Al Bundy;1758974 wrote:But there are also undefeated teams behind them who would pass them at some point
LOL. He was in for 1 possession, threw 1 pass (for a TD), hot garbage?wildcats20;1759142 wrote:Baylor looked like hot garbage with their backup on Saturday. They are done.

It's a live ball until the kicking team secures it or it comes to a stop with no one attempting to secure it.Mulva;1758801 wrote:I was under the impression that a blocked kick that lands past the LOS is dead.

Maybe I'm misreading this, but how is that different from a punt?Sonofanump;1759222 wrote:It's a live ball until the kicking team secures it or it comes to a stop with no one attempting to secure it.
