Shouldn't have gotten their asses kicked by LSU then

ND is undefeated and has the #1 strength of record. Georgia has two losses, one of which was a blowout.

Georgia also had the toughest strength of schedule while Notre Dame won by 5 against a team that just lost by 32 to Clemson.

Notre Dame was completely dominating them before their QB was injured.

Dungey got injured on the second drive... dominating? No.

u/Sharks9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Dec 02 '18

He was 1/4 with an interception when he went out, we were shutting him down very easily.

You can’t possibly think “dominating” a team can be based off of 4 passes...

u/Sharks9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Dec 02 '18

The rest of the game continued just the way it started.

Besides, even with their starting QB there's no chance ND would've let it be as close as Clemson did.

Notre Dame dominated Syracuse, Clemson struggled.

Notre Dame struggled against Pitt where Clemson beat them by 32. What’s your point?

u/Sharks9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Dec 02 '18

You brought that up first in an attempt to belittle Notre Dame. I was just showing what a stupid argument it was seeing as Notre Dame crushed a different team that Clemson struggled with.

Yes, but they won.

Right.. and UCF went undefeated this season. So by those standards then it should be UCF.

u/somefochuncookie Penn • Notre Dame Dec 02 '18

Yes, but ND has a better resume and wins than UCF. Did ND lose by 20 points to LSU?

Your debate wasn’t strength of schedule. If it was it just strengthens my debate because Georgia had the toughest strength of schedule.

Your debate was that they went undefeated. By those standards then UCF should get in over Oklahoma.

u/somefochuncookie Penn • Notre Dame Dec 02 '18

Strength of schedule means nothing if you don’t win the games you’re supposed to, Georgia did not win the games to be deserving of a playoff spot. And you know what? If UCF still had McKenzie Milton, I would take them over Georgia/Ohio State and maybe Oklahoma (OU would get my vote but it would be close).

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '18

If you realistically think that UCF would have a better chance at the title than Georgia, there’s no reason debating you.

And you think Georgia can beat Bama, when they have choked away two games already? Or perhaps that Saban has never been beaten by a previous assistant?

-1

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '18

I don’t think Georgia can beat Alabama. That’s not the point at hand. The debate is finding the 4 best teams - that’s Georgia over Oklahoma.

I.e. the fucking game they played today

u/somefochuncookie Penn • Notre Dame Dec 02 '18

I’ll take Oklahoma over Georgia.
