@ponnner@JohnMassingale4 No I claimed that 8 (30%) of these ranked wins came in 2024 against teams like Navy and Army in the regular season.
Outlier season skewing the data. ND doesn’t play a tough schedule, and it gets even worse moving forward.
@Blue2Bongo@JohnMassingale4 You sound like an idiot. The whole thread is about ranked wins and you claimed our only ranked win ended up being Army in 2024. That couldn’t be more false but it doesn’t fit your narrative.
@ponnner@JohnMassingale4 Playoff opponents have nothing to do with playing a mediocre schedule in the regular season.
So no, it doesn’t fit any narrative around this.
@Blue2Bongo@JohnMassingale4 Penn state, Georgia, and Indiana also finished the season ranked in the top 10 but that doesn’t fit your narrative. How many other teams finished with 3 top 10 wins, 4 ranked wins (using final rankings), and two ny6 bowl wins?
Defensive tackle Gabe Rubio talking after Pro Day, said he was ready to take play at Stanford but was held out for the College Football Playoff. When the Irish didn’t make it, “the world came crashing down.” Worked out at Pro Day.
@TopTierND@ponnner It’s a 4 year minimum rebuild. Same after Brey. If Shrews stayed for year 4 I believe they are vastly improved. Roster is immensely young. Shrews leaves it’s a complete rebuild. We are talking 9-11 brand new faces. Will be horrific for years.
@TopTierND The academic requirements have become way more lax - football has taken multiple undergrad transfers the past few years. I do think more NIL dollars should be being allocated to hoops though.
@ponnner Notre Dame has strict academic requirements and they don't have a ton of NIL money in the basketball program
It would take at least a year or 2 to get them back to a good team
@ckilla540@Stone_Halen@OhioStateWBB Yeah dude no one gives a shit about the most popular sport in the world or any other sports that OSU sucks at (which is most). People only care about American football because OSU is good at that one.
@ponnner@OhioStateWBB I have no idea what you’re talking about because most of those sports are irrelevant. Hopefully you guys can make the CFP this year!
