Seriously these guys are fucking pathetic. How the hell Penn State above Notre Dame still? Penn State gets SMU then goes on to Boise State. ND got Indiana then Georgia. It's seriously crazy.
It's clear that losses matter, even if they aren't saying it out loud. Penn State lost to two teams that are competing in the playoffs for a chance to win a National Title, one of which is the #1 seed and that loss was in the conference championship by 7 points. Notre Dame lost to a team that's playing in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl and finished 7-5 and 7th in the MAC, with losses to "powerhouses" like Ball State and Toledo.
Plus, if Notre Dame is so good, they should relish the opportunity to prove it by beating Indiana (very likely) to get a shot at the SEC Champ. The argument that they should have gotten an easier path in the playoffs after having an easy path to their record all year seems very counter productive to me.
It's also important to note that it will forever be hilarious that Notre Dame PAID Northern Illinois $1.5 million to come into South Bend and beat them. L O fucking L.
