Yeah but it was teams you could of put in that would of made it a lot more competitive. Just off the caliber of players the teams have. Notre Dame was basically playing James Madison.
@@Ace-mw9pm Bama might have been more competitive, or maybe they shit the bed and put 3 points on the board. Either way, ND is most likely dusting whoever got the 10 seed.
12, 14 or even 16 will still have the same kind of results with potential blowouts. The Super Bowl has had many blowouts as well - it doesn’t mean the team that lost was horrible or someone else more deserving. If you want to be in the playoff you have to win games and that means almost all of them - this 3,4 loss team discussion is useless. If you lost 3 or 4 in regular season - you are not going to win 3 or 4 in a row against solid competition.
Now that it’s said and done, which team had a better season: this year’s IU team, who won 11 games to make the playoff but whose best win was over a meh UMich team and who lost their final game, or the 2021 MSU team, who won 11 games and whose best win was over the B1G Champ* UMich team and who won their final game (without their best player and the retrospective de facto Heisman winner) against the ACC champ (and who would have made the playoff if the 12-team format was alive then)?
Notre Dame’s offense is 90% just runs and screens. Their QB can’t consistently throw the ball downfield, they don’t have any elite WRs/TEs that scare you. UGA will be the best at OL, RB,TE, DL,LB and DB that ND has seen all year.
So Tom thinks Freeman (1-1 in CFP playoffs with this win) is going to take down Kirby (5-1 whose only CFP loss was to Bama, in OT in the 2017 Natty)..??? I’ll take Georgia and the points! Twice this year Georgia was the underdog and twice they won…nuff said.
Completely agree. I’m a UGA fan and I’m expecting this game vs ND to be an all timer. It will be a slugfest! Obviously I have UGA winning a close one, but I’m definitely biased lol.
Indiana was only a 2 pt conversion, an onside kick, a hail mary and another 2 pr conversion from forcing overtime at the end. They only lost by 10 on the road.
And our 2nd and 3rd stringers were in the game 4th quarters coaches didn’t want to show anything else to Georgia. Golden said it in interview after the game lol style points don’t matter now it the W that counts!
what a savvy comparison! Since we can’t compare cupcakes like Bama, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Texas (twice); or that powerhouse Northern Illinois. Your comparison is the best assessment. 🙄
@@stephenholbrook4391 you asked the question. And ended it with seriously. I answered it. I guess it was sarcasm not serious. Hit a sensitive spot it seems. Relax my dude
@@Ryan-ih4bbstill waiting for an answer to my question- who has Notre Dame played? Tell you what, let’s change direction. Riddle me this- which is worse, one loss to N. Illinois at home OR two losses to Bama and Ole Miss on the road? I’ll be candid- Notre Dame is way over rated. And Kirby is going to notch his 3 win over ND since 2017. And the Irish fans know it.
lol Indiana has more wins against ND. That’s a weird take. This isn’t Brian Kelly’s ND and even those games were nail biters against Georgia. And the first win Georgia won a championship
It's not about power ratings with Indiana, it's the fact they played 0 power 4 non con opponents and they beat 1 team with a winning record. They shouldn't be rewarded for playing a weak schedule. Boise too
They can’t change their conference schedule. It’s set 3-4 years in advance. The non con was of course a cupcake but 98% of schools have cupcake non cons. Indiana had a favorable schedule. It’s not their fault 2 8 win teams regressed as did the 2 teams in the national championship game the year prior. By all metrics they were a top 10 team. FPI, SOR, GC all of that. They did what they had to do to be invited and they deserved it. End of discussion
As those of us from the big ten have said, IUs SOS was awful. The big ten as a conference is very weak outside of Oregon and OSU. This isn't what a playoff game should have looked like. Very disappointing on the entertainment side of things. And if Cig is going to talk ish, he's gotta learn to eat it when he loses. They played two hard games all year, and got handled in both of them.
You don’t remember all the blowout, uninteresting games from the 4 team playoff? It’s gonna happen every year no matter how many teams are in it. Doesn’t make anyone any less deserving
@mattcollett9370 you answered the issue right there, deserving. I don't want to watch deserving. I want to watch the best. If the scores are going to be like this, just go full send 24 teams. The best will for sure come out on top, and we can stop the "deserving" discussion.
Never seen someone repeat a claim about a defense getting handsy with receiver's as much as this guy on the right. Seriously.....close coverage is not handsy! Even the PI against jordan Clark was clearly not PI. Stop complaining about refs
Either these teams are just bad or last year was the final year of the 15-0 juggernaut programs. NIL and unlimited, immediate transfer portal has made everyone mid. Now after Georgia completely suffocates that stale ND offense it will all make since.
You should specify years as 2022. Of course knows who your talking about, but its annoying that TCU gets characterized as garbage forever because of that game. In all reality 2022 Georgia is arguably the best team in program history - certainly top 2. By comparison 2022 TCU isnt even top 5 in the last 20 years. In many ways it feels like 2022 TCU got favored for the playoffs because of how often they got shafted in previous post season.
But we were told the 12 team playoff will get rid of blowouts. The point is every year there are really only 2-3 teams who actually have a real chance to win a natty
I love that Georgia is getting this disrespect. A team that beat Texas twice and won the SEC after playing the toughest schedule in the country vs a team that lost to Northern Illinois and the best win they have is debatably Indiana. Keep that yummy rat poison coming.
Indiana was a ridiculous team to be in this playoff. To try and argue they belong just makes you sound ridiculous. They look like a high school team against real opponents.
Jesus Christ why can’t you just admit , Bama or Ole Miss would have been way more competitive, you CBS folks are insane, I can see now why yall have Danny Kanell on
Of course Bama & Ole Miss are better than half the field, but that is not what a National championship tournament should be. If you want to keep BSU & ASU out, what is the point of playing the games. Why even have a regular season.
Disappointing performance by UI? It’s exactly what smart people expected. Newsflash: Indiana WAS NOT THAT GOOD!! The 11-1 record meant nothing. Nothing!
2014 Oregon - Fsu 59-20, 2015 Clem-Ok 37-17 & Bama-Msu 38-0, 2016 Clem-Osu 31-0, 2018 Clem-ND 30-3, 2019 Lsu -Ok 63-28
I would have included Bama vs Cincy or Bama vs Washington as well.
@@guitarzan75 also OSU whooping Clemson’s ass in 2020
There was blowouts in every editon of the 4 team playoff as well, using this game to make any sort of "non-deserving" statement is just dumb
Teams 3 and 4 weren’t deserving either
@@agfan6511 like when OSU spanked Alabama and Oregon as a 4 seed? Okay.
Yeah but it was teams you could of put in that would of made it a lot more competitive. Just off the caliber of players the teams have. Notre Dame was basically playing James Madison.
@@Ace-mw9pm Bama might have been more competitive, or maybe they shit the bed and put 3 points on the board. Either way, ND is most likely dusting whoever got the 10 seed.
Because they always do the most deserving BS rather than the best teams

Bryce Young + Leonard Moore + Anyeas Williams....ND has some solid freshman talent
Left tackle true freshman A. Knapp!
Adon Shuler. Freshman safety
@ Shuler is a sophomore. Still a great young player.
@@GrayViper540 you're right. So much young talent, it's hard to keep track
I love this playoff format. Most of the “what if” questions get answered. I hope they keep the conference champ locks
Amen brother
There have been an ungodly amount of blow outs in the 4 team playoffs what are y’all smoking lol
ND dominated.gotta give Indiana’s defense credit. They played a lot better than the offense. ND defensive line just to much
Kent State has the same amount of wins against ranked teams this year as Indiana
Now that it’s said and done, which team had a better season: this year’s IU team, who won 11 games to make the playoff but whose best win was over a meh UMich team and who lost their final game, or the 2021 MSU team, who won 11 games and whose best win was over the B1G Champ* UMich team and who won their final game (without their best player and the retrospective de facto Heisman winner) against the ACC champ (and who would have made the playoff if the 12-team format was alive then)?
There were a lot of instances where Leonard could have met the ball on a zone read and had a big gain but handed it off.
Notre Dame’s offense is 90% just runs and screens. Their QB can’t consistently throw the ball downfield, they don’t have any elite WRs/TEs that scare you. UGA will be the best at OL, RB,TE, DL,LB and DB that ND has seen all year.
When the truth hurts Saban - sec was paying players before it was legal 😂
That Saban segment was hillarious.
Kirby is 22-1 over the last 23 games with more than a week to prepare. ND has to prepare blindly for a whole new version of offense. Dawgs by 10+
So Tom thinks Freeman (1-1 in CFP playoffs with this win) is going to take down Kirby (5-1 whose only CFP loss was to Bama, in OT in the 2017 Natty)..???
I’ll take Georgia and the points! Twice this year Georgia was the underdog and twice they won…nuff said.
Tom Holland rules! Great choice Fornelli
What happened to danny kanell? Lol
Am I the only one really intrigued by the UGA vs ND game? Like this could be an all time defensive slugfest.
Completely agree. I’m a UGA fan and I’m expecting this game vs ND to be an all timer. It will be a slugfest! Obviously I have UGA winning a close one, but I’m definitely biased lol.

No way THAT Notre Dame team beats UGA. No flippin’ way. Who the heck has ND played? Seriously. Even with Stockton, UGA is a better team.
Common opponent: Georgia Tech. ND played on cruise control chewing clock for 2.5 quarters.

Disagree. They earned the right to be there.
Two teams with weak schedules waiting to be exposed. Sadly, neither is a power house program.
