Glad to see intelligent conversation. Only our fan base I guess.

Are there still squirrels on campus? Last year at reunion I only saw chipmunks.

So be it! I totally agree. They may not want to raise their standards to meet ours, but it sure doesn’t mean we should lower ours to meet theirs.

In reply to Mark G.

If strength of schedule even means that one quality win…. Explain Alabama? Their best win is against a 3 loss WVU…..

Thanks for saying what needs to be said.
The playoff committe has an interesting take on what “strength of schedule” means. It does not really mean strength of schedule; it means strength of part of your schedule. Having 2 or 3 high quality wins along with a lot of low quality wins over bottom of the conference teams (or FBS schools that are glorified byes), apparently counts more than having 1 or 2 high quality wins and the rest of the schedule full of draining, week after week mid-quality wins. Having a quality schedule over all apparently is not important.
But, as you say, so be it. Go Irish! Beat Devils!
