@MoDakhil_NBA Such a myopic response. It’s an annual series not just for ‘26. B10 schedule quality fluctuates wildly year to year. Not to mention you skipping over competition for CA recruits and the difference btwn aiming for the CFP vs Natty.

@Volte_iv This is a silly response when you look at SC’s schedule next season, we aren’t hurting for playing top tier teams next season and compare it to Notre Dame’s.

Still waiting for a reason here. Everyone is just mad about tradition but no one is actually giving a reason why beyond that.

@slmandel @allday_ajking No one has really explained why SC should play Notre Dame when this is a very plausible scenario. A loss hurts but a win might not help either. ND’s MOU really is a bad idea.

@IbisRex @PenguinOfTroy Why should a team want split its revenues with worse teams? TV contract aside, is their bowls $ not just more risk and reward? It goes both ways I’ve already explain why ND fans are reasonably annoyed with the CFP process this year. it’s not an issue of entitlement.

@Volte_iv @PenguinOfTroy Obviously, ratings affect the next contract but ND’s current NBC contract pays the same if they go 12-0 or 0-12. ND consistently makes a bowl game or CFP, so all this $ isn’t split with other teams. You think if ND was #13 they wouldn’t be crying now? ND thinks 1 bid is theirs.

It's hilarious how fans of a certain team in Indiana have told me "Well USC should try winning" when I'm talking about the CFP calculations in play. Because it's the same program who threw a hissy fit when the CFP effectively said, "Well, you should have just beat Miami."

@IbisRex @PenguinOfTroy The opposite also has to hold though no? ND eats what it kills. Greater risk by not having a safety net conference to give it checks and in return more upside if it performs. Smugly assumed is weak. Assumed only bc the committee ranked them in the top 12 immediately but whatever

@Volte_iv @PenguinOfTroy I have think the Committee and ADs resent that ND has an inherent advantage by keeping all of its NBC and bowl $. Other teams share with their conferences. The Committee also saw that ND lost to the 2 best teams it faced and then smugly assumed it was getting an at large bid.

@MoDakhil_NBA @mikegolicjr Sounds like conferences aren’t aligned with their schools… why should ND subject themselves to this BS? USC quit because it knows it won’t be a top team in the B10 & wants a CFP backdoor. ND just saw the consequence of front loading its schedule. Both can be true.

@mikegolicjr And not discussed with ADs and not announced at the time of the agreement but several months afterwards. Yeah it was done in the dark.

@PenguinOfTroy Eye test and you know analytics still exists… ND was favored heavily in that game for a reason. Praying that SC is good enough again that it stops talking about “risks” and starts winning. Have been dog walked by the P12 during Helton and B10 during Riley.

The more I think about this and look at the polls, the more certain I am of two things: 1. Going into Ore game, USC would've been No. 8 at 9-1 (because polls are still first and foremost ordered by W-L) 2. If it was a debate btw USC and ND that hadn't played, USC gets in 😂
Alicia de Artola Castillo@PenguinOfTroy

Trust me, I hate destroying tradition to create the easiest CFP paths. (It's lame and I don't like it. Play tough games and win them or you don't belong anyways.) BUT legitimately, losing to Notre Dame this year prevented USC from being in the CFP discussion.

@SSN_USC If you’re national championship caliber, you’ll go at least 2-1 in that and it shouldn’t matter. If you’re the third or fourth best team in your conference, why do you care about the CFP? You’ve proven you aren’t the best team. Who cares that the schedule is hard

@JordanReffett Five auto bids was decided when there were 5 power conferences. Issue is conference consolidation and rules that won’t adjust with the times because p4 want additional protection to cover their behind if they have down year

Nobody is arguing that JMU/Tulane didn't have the right to be in the college football playoff......but the whole point of the playoff was to have the 12 best teams in the country play to find a true Champion. If a G5 team is ranked in the Top 12, put them in the playoff. Fair?

@IbisRex @PenguinOfTroy Interesting. I just don’t get why… pick the teams that are playing the best. Can you play devils advocate and explain why give a damn about conference / expectation of a reserved bid or any of that junk? Who does it benefit?

@Volte_iv @PenguinOfTroy Don’t disagree, but I think the Committee engineered the outcome as best they could. Meaning, they don’t like ND thinking it has a reserved bid every year and wanted to send a message to ND.

@IbisRex @PenguinOfTroy Don’t want to rehash too much bc what’s done is done… but can’t help it. I’m rooting for Miami. Y’all are legit. My issue is that ND was jumped by Bama who barely beat Auburn who then got crushed by Georgia but BYU fell and Bama didn’t? Committee was inconsistent from the jump.

@Volte_iv @PenguinOfTroy I think the move was discernible, the Committee didn’t like ND not being in a conference, losing to the 2 best teams it faced and smugly thinking it was entitled to an at large bid.

@flugempire Can you imagine saying this under Carroll? Heavily implying that you expect to be worse than Oregon, Indiana, OSU and maybe lose another couple. During Helton fine but time to raise the bar with Riley

USC plays Indiana, Ohio State and Oregon next year. Throw in a home game against Washington and road game vs Penn State. Trojans were willing to play Notre Dame in week zero. This narrative Trojans are soft for not playing ND on Thanksgiving after this B1G schedule is comical.

@MoDakhil_NBA If you win, it benefits SC massively and you only travel every other year. It’s concerning that under Riley any potential tough away game is viewed first as a loss. The mindset shift from national championship or bust to hopefully make the playoffs is ugly.

Too much travel during the conference season. Doesn’t benefit SC to make another trip east for a non conference game in the middle of the season. But the program of I’ll take my ball too doesn’t want to play us earlier in the season.

@MoDakhil_NBA What’s wrong with keeping it the same?

@JakeOlson61 You realize by not playing ND it puts you at greater risk of being screwed by them in the end. Beating ND lets you control your destiny compared to another potential playoff team. This is not a win for SC

Colin absolutely going in on ND this morning. Love it. “ND’s like a trust fund kid saying, I can’t believe you have a summer job, I’ll be in Turks and Caicos.” Get a real schedule.

@dub_myles @dukestainer @RyanKartje At least SC could influence the P12. Now they’re stuck in B10 as a 1/18 voice getting overruled on private equity money and other ideas that directly hurt their interests.

USC and Notre Dame were close to announcing a continuation of their rivalry earlier this season, a source told @latimes. USC was ready to compromise and play the ’26 game in November But then USC learned of ND’s agreement w/ the CFP to have a guaranteed spot if in the top 12.

@dukestainer @RyanKartje Everyone lost the plot with NIL and thought TV revenue would control your destiny. Undoubtedly a huge factor but with the $20.5 rev share cap former PAC12 teams have ended in a worse spot than they started

@Volte_iv @RyanKartje Why destroy the Pac12 if this was their decision? They could have kept the PAC12 alive, had an easier path to the playoff every year, and still kept the series with USC.

@OrangeBowlBoys You realize this screws everyone else right? With the MOU playing weaker teams allows ND to waltz into the CFP with a good win loss record. Everyone should be begging hard to teams to play ND to knock them out of contention
