Notre Dame shows what a joke it was for them to make the final four.

25th in strength of schedule. How is a team with such an easy schedule even considered to be national championship material?

Ohio State was robbed.

given us a game worth watching, and have beaten Clemson.

Notre Dame needs to climb down from their pedestal, get into a conference, and start playing real teams again.

I don’t think Ohio State’s chances with the other 3 teams were that good, either.

Defense worse after losing Bosa. Gave up too many long plays. Very weak against crossing patterns.

Offense a work in progress. Took forever to figure out they had to move Haskins out of the pocket.

Maybe next year. Fingers crossed

That plus ESPN and their one-game-at-a-time-chock-full-of-commercials broadcasting makes it agony to watch.

I keep telling myself I should quit watching college football (never watch pro) and the NCAA and ESPN make it much easier.

All 3! Same game on 2, then some stupid "control room" thing!
For a minor league football game

"Lose Lose Old Notre Dame?" Did the scoreboard have the shamrocks rushing around aimlessly then going down a toilet?
