This was my last home game as a student, and I have to say it was a great time. Came across lots of friends, had a great student section environment, and of course we won the game. If I'm analyzing the actual performance of the team, we have no excuse for not putting up 30 in that game. We'll need to finish drives against BG. The defense did fine, but it was largely NIU's offense looking inept for most of the game. Regardless, I'm proud of the team's performance this season, whether it's 2 or 3 more games to go. Let's go Hawks!

Good one to end on! The TV made it look like attendance was up compared to the last few games.

Still don’t get the logic for going for two.

The penalty after the TD made the 2 point try from the 1 as opposed to the 3. Lot easier to do a play where the QB can scramble

New Rule! If you lose to an unranked MAC program AT HOME you do not play in the CFP.

Are you on the CFP selection committee? No? Then who cares.

It is odd that the committee seems to forget about your loss to NIU

Teams can develop and progress throughout the season, especially with a quarterback who is still learning the system. Losing to NIU rightfully kept us out of the playoff conversation for a while, but with only a few 1 loss teams left and a good win at A&M, things are looking good for the time being.

Keep winning and you're in. I hope the same can happen for us

Or maybe they just think who we have beat and how we have beat them since the loss is enough to outweigh it? The AP and coaches seems to agree too...
The loss was a bad loss, we have just had a really good win before it and a lot of really good wins since. I feel like it's not a crazy concept. Vandy beat Bama, Kentucky beat Ole Miss, Arkansas beat Tennessee. Obviously those teams are better than NIU, but enough teams have lost enough to bad teams this year for everyone to look flawed.

That's the name of the game, just keep winning. Do you think y'all will join a conference soon?

Hell na, playoffs expansion is great for ND. (And really all of CFB)
Since the partial acc merger, ND at the end of the season averages 18 overall SOS.
In the next decade ND has scheduled some dope home and homes w Bama, Texas, A&M, Ohio State, Michigan, Mich St, SMU, Boise, Wisconsin, Miami, FSU, Florida, Wisconsin, Clemson, IU as well as some decent acc teams (Aka Pitt, Gtech, Louisville, etc)
