Last week...thanks to all who kept this going during a very bizarre season. Truth be told, it was somewhat of a chore to keep doing this this year with HC not involved etc. Three guys out of the hardcore 7 here had 4-1 weeks: efg, HCFC and myself. Just 2 games (as of now) this week, one has already been cancelled...both Saturday. Tie for the lead right now, we'll see how it plays out before going into tiebreakers etc. We'll see how the bowl schedule plays out and do it then maybe. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Week 15:
FSU @ Wake Clemson-ND (Charlotte)
Standings:
1 hcpride 66-19 HCFC 3 KY75 64-21 4 rgs 63-22 hc87 6 efg 62-23 7 bigfan 59-26 8 ChuChu 40-17 9 crossisback 32-16 10 longsuff 22-11 11 alum 21-5
Any mistakes, pm me

FSU had to cancel their game with Wake Forest because of Covid. They did not have enough offensive linemen to play the game. Back in November I did pick Notre Dame over Clemson. But Clemson did not have Trevor L for that game. Still undecided who to pick today.... go with the consensus pick of Clemson and stay in a tie for first OR take Notre Dame with the chance to win outright.... game time decision (hope I don't forget to post it).... !

I may flip my choice later (not to add to your angst...I’m going to re-look at who’s playing and who’s not this covid-protocol year). Clemson has stronger personnel than the last meeting (not just Lawrence) and the last meeting was a double OT ND win at ND. Hmmmm

We can split the winnings and enjoy the Goose Island IPA, Herbie's gift certificate, ND $5.00 gift certificate, etc., to be presented post Covid by the moderator in the Japanese Tea Garden!

If ND takes the ACC and ends up finding a way to win their first national title in 32 years, would they consider actually joining the ACC in football beyond 2020?

More money as a football independent...that will decide it.

No chance whatever--Notre Dame must always be the exception to the rules, it must always be a special case, and it does not want to share its TV revenue with anyone

Can we all agree the ACC, beyond Clemson, is a mediocre league and ND isn’t a real top 5 team? Strength of Schedule is 42nd in the country.

I can't agree with that...but it does come down to opinion.

After today’s performance ND does not belong in the playoffs - if the committee keeps them in as a 4 seed, they will be abt 25 point underdogs vs ‘Bama - I prefer Texas A&M in that spot

The issue with this strange season is that because there were barely any non-conference games, it's extremely difficult to say with certainty exactly which conferences are stronger than others. That's why I think they should have gone for an expanded playoffs this year. Conference champ from each of the P5, top G5 team + 2 at-large.
Given that there are only four slots, I really don't like the idea of Ohio State getting in having played only 6 games. I know they didn't lose but 10-1 Notre Dame with only loss to Clemson (and a resume that includes a WIN over Clemson) should get in over the Buckeyes IMO.

Clem lost to ND in their first meeting with the #1 draft pick in the country out. OSU would smoke ND.

And because they beat mighty Indiana and mighty Northwestern deserve to be considered Top 4? I don't think so. There's no guarantee Ohio State would beat Clemson, even without Lawrence and top 2 defensive players, which they were missing against ND in South Bend.
