You're acting like we're doing a 14 playoff as opposed to like a 12th how
00:07
because I mean the argument is like you know I'm just saying like well I didn't
00:12
get it for what I'm just saying like you're you they were a ten nine and a
00:16
half ten win preseason win total correct so if they would have went ten and two
00:20
and lost to A&M and lost to Louisville yeah you would have been better off
00:24
putting them in the top ten that way I but because they lost in northern
00:28
Illinois question 16 to 14 is a 28 and a half point favorite but hammered Texas
00:33
A&M and beat Louisville and beat Navy that that was undefeated I just don't I
00:38
just don't get I mean I feel like we're splitting hairs they're playing great
00:42
football right now why aren't they deserving of a top five ranking because
00:46
they lost a little Norman can't hold on to that no you can because you only play
00:50
12 regular season games we don't play 82 like in the end they should be 15
00:57
I think that they should be 10th realistically because Joe here's the
01:02
thing you you brought up a scenario I don't know if as a gotcha but I will I
01:05
said in in real time Notre Dame would have been better off losing to A&M and
01:10
beating northern Illinois yeah and the odds reflected that the movement of when
01:15
they beat A&M verse when they lost to northern Illinois now you're nitpicking
01:19
right because really we lost but you're looking garbage Mac you're looking at
01:23
resume not from quantity or the amount of something wins or losses you are
01:28
focusing specifically on the result of an individual game so if you're going to
01:32
say the quality of the loss to northern Illinois is the worst of any team even
01:36
sniffing the test 25 but the quality of the win against A&M didn't actually
01:40
matter as much and you're picking one or the other can I ask one more thing who
01:44
has a better quality win Ohio State or Notre Dame because it's Penn State's
01:49
garbage man I you have this ability to swing and
01:52
miss like I've never well because obviously Ohio State right obviously
01:55
Penn State's ranked higher everywhere and it was on the road it was by seven
01:59
as opposed to the side and still understand it I mean I mean but again I
02:05
just it is very interesting to me so I miss I just don't understand like I
02:10
don't mean I clearly even one they have a top tens pass defense in the country
02:14
they're giving up basically 12 points per game you have to remember the
02:18
selling point on Notre Dame preseason was the schedules a joke right and the
02:23
schedules unfolded and it's actually worse than projected as Florida State
02:29
has one way that's not good I understand that Joe but Indiana has had a hard time
02:35
cracking the top five and they are it's the name it's the name it's brand
02:41
recognition everybody knows Notre Dame Notre Dame based on name what are we
02:47
Ben didn't rank them there cuz they're Notre Dame I'm a Notre Dame fan and I
02:52
wouldn't rank them there they're not here cuz they're Notre Dame they're
02:57
there because of what they have done against on Mac competition for what it's
03:00
worth in my college football playoff or Ben's top ten right but if you hear me
03:05
out if we're talking about all of these teams and you'd thrown in BYU Indiana
03:10
and let's say they all have one loss you know who's getting the inside track it's
03:14
gonna be Notre Dame because that's the reality of the situation that's what
03:17
we're talking about reality we're in fit we're in fictitious we're in the real
03:23
world here's the real world really rank them forth and in the real world they
03:32
lost to Northern Illinois what Marcus Freeman after they lost just disrupt the
03:38
football break seasons over this is this is you quit Notre Dame seasons over
03:50
that's it again I'm talking about quitting here that's not talking about
03:55
quitting so they have no shot to be in the top ten or top five at all
03:58
top five no they do not have a chance to be in terms why we're all expressing our
04:02
own opinions right these are my opinions the college football playoff selection
04:06
committee has revealed theirs Kev is showing his own opinion and you are
04:10
demonstrating yours
