That's something I agree with just because I don't think there's much of a chance they survive this portion of their schedule unscathed. MSU, Michigan, bye, Ohio State, Iowa, Nebraska all in a row. They dominated a MSU team that hasn't been all that impressive so far and now have 4 games in 5 weeks, with 3 against ranked opponents. I think they're more likely to lose 2 in that span than run the field.

I guess maybe the 4 TD's part is the bold prediction...but I could see them beating them pretty good, Clemson's seemed off this year. Kind of similar to OSU last year.

A lot of analytics people have Louisville winning. I just don't see it. I think a 3 way tie in the ACC is inevitable with Louisville losing to Clemson and then Clemson losing @ FSU.

Florida State will be in the playoff. (Louisville loses to Clemson and Houston, FSU beats Clemson). FSU wins the ACC.
Final 4 will be Alabama, OSU, Houston, FSU.
Utah will be left out even though they will be undefeated and have won the PAC 12.
Houston beats Ohio State and then Florida State and wins the National Championship.
Christian McCaffrey wins the Heisman.

TBH, I'm surprise he hasn't been fired already. He's not a good coach and he's never won anything.

Until ND joins a conference, they will continue the perpetual mediocrity.

Agreed.
Awhile ago I went and analyzed their home/away schedule and comparated it to the elite programs.
The 'big boys' have 7-8 of their 12 games at home and ND was much closer to having a balanced home and away.

Ya play a couple of cream puffs to start out, maybe get in a decent OOC game and then you have the conference schedule. Always a couple of good opponants and them some cream puffs.

Much of the schedule is completed at the league level, and you can bring in teams to play at ND without promise of a return trip.

Plus.....playing for a league title is a short term goal to aim for and keep everyone motivated. They know their season is over right now and other than a bowl game they have nothing to play for. IF they were in a league...they still have that.


ND in the big 10 would have been perfect...but that was too easy.

Fucked up numerologist shit for the win! If that happens, it'll be crazier than about any other prediction on this thread, lol.
