    We have the talent guys. Talent wasn’t the problem with beating Ohio state last year. It was coaching. Bad receiver coach that created a monsterous problem, and Gerad Parker was mid. It all depends on the development of the players, and the coaching of the coordinators. Specifically denbrock. Offense is the need, and I think 12 games is way more than enough for denbrock to get very comfortable behind this nd talent

    Notre Dame doesn't get a bye, it is true, but nor do they have to play a conference championship game. One could argue that ND's path is as tough as that of a conference champion, because the "extra" playoff game they have to play is balanced by the CC game that the champions have to play. One could also argue that the loser of a CC game has a tougher path than ND, because they have to play one more game than ND.

It takes cycles, building up to have a season, not one football season, but a season of years where they're in the title hunt and then cycle back around. Without the magnitude of the behemoth schools that's how Notre Dame will have to play it. That being said, if they play it right, that can get you a title a decade.

Through it all from 2017 till he left we won 10 games n were in a 1b tier just behind Bama, Clemson, Ohio State, Georgia n lately Michigan. Couldn't win the big game n lost to all of those teams.

    As a giant ND fan, they aren’t winning a NC this year. They have a great roster but they’re missing the talent they need at WR, have a mostly new OL, and don’t have the depth needed on the interior DL. They’ll make the playoffs, win the first rd and then lose in the second almost definitely. Maybe if CJ Carr or Deice Knight are as good as billed they’ll have a chance, but that’s 2-4 years from now. Freeman, though, is doing a much better job recruiting and building a program than Kelly, so if he can’t figure it out then I don’t see it happening ever again.

    I think when the playoff starts ND will be one of the 10 or 11 teams in it hat has enough raw talent to win. They have a tougher road because they'll always have to win 4 games instead of 3. So I rate their chances at (50% x 50% x 50% x 50%... breaks out calculator...) about 6 per cent, in any given year. If they happen to catch a break and be the 5 seed and draw the 12 seed, then it's more like 80% for the first game, which boosts it to 10% in that particular year. I will point out that the same applies to all the other power teams. The chance of Georgia or Alabama or Florida State or Penn State winning the playoff once they get in it is also in the 6-10 per cent range. It's gonna be a total crapshoot.

So you're looking at around 80% chance, then likely a 65% chance to make the semis. And at that point, all the other teams will be coming off a tough game themselves and won't be able to use their whole staff to prepare a gameplay for a month. Think there could be more upsets in the final rounds in this scenario

    One of the few times I disagree with Josh. I think with the expanded playoff making the playoff is a big deal; they’d be on the track to win a championship given they can win the games. Unlike in past years, if notre dame finishes 5th they’d be completely eliminated. Now if they finish anywhere in the top 12 they have a chance to compete. Yeah a lot more stuff has to go there way but with a hot streak or injuries they could very well be competing for the championship when in years past they would’ve been completed eliminated. Definitely don’t agree with the expanded playoff but it does expand the possibility for fringe teams.

      Notre Dame stacks up far better against teams like Texas and Georgia than they have in the past. This narrative that Notre Dame doesn’t have enough talent is just plain wrong at this point. Marcus Freeman has brought in 3 straight top ten classes. They just hired Mike Denbrock from LSU (they had the #1 offense in the country last year) and they just extended their DC Al Golden. They return a lot of talent on the defensive side of the ball, where they had the #6 overall defense in the country last season. They’re going to be a beast.

      @ericbaker9007..last season there was twelve 10-2 or better teams before bowl games. So unless I’m incorrect, those 12 teams get in the playoffs because of where they were ranked as there was no three loss team ranked ahead of a two loss team. And as always, who you lose to and when you lose will affect that playoff opportunity

      As an ND fan, the bowl record is appalling. I dont know what its down to. Its not like they are always outmatched physically in the post season at all. A couple of years ago they choked a 28-7 lead against Oklahoma state, who they had a far better roster than in the fiesta bowl. They got beat by Clemson in 2018 as soon as their starting corner went down Lawrence attacked Dante Vaughn and it was game over. 2020 Bama they held up on the lines quite well but didnt have the speed outside. So while I agree the record is horrible, I dont really agree with your logic. Its always something different like its a curse or something, not "they never have the roster".
