If You Hear "Talking Heads" Saying This...
"Notre Dame has no path to the playoffs, they don't have a conference championship game..."
Just remind them of this little fact -- from just two seasons ago:
Alabama made the College Football Playoff as the #4 seed with this resume in 2017:
- 11 - 1 regular season record
- A road loss to the #6 ranked team in the country (Auburn) 26 - 14
- 3 wins over ranked opponents
- Only 10 wins over FBS opponents
- 1 win over a FCS opponent -- Mercer
- No appearance in a conference championship game
Notre Dame can still make the playoffs -- step one, beat Virginia!

Just Got Back From Athens -- Some Thoughts
- It was a "black out" -- but, it looked more like a RED OUT!
- There were red and black tents, tablecloths and chairs -- on every square inch of green grass on campus. They don't have any parking lots around the Stadium -- so the tailgating is on campus grounds...
- The noise was beyond anything I've ever heard before. I thought Miami 2017 was loud -- this was at another level.
- The Georgia student section -- world-class! A little like Oakland's "Black Hole..."
- Don't know how we ever got any snap off in sync.
- First time I ever saw a football stadium turn into a night club -- the light show was impressive and effective -- pre-game and prior to 4th quarter! The top photo, that's the start of the fourth quarter light show -- a first for Georgia...
- The Georgia home field advantage -- is incredible.
- The campus is very nice -- and very hilly.
- The fans treated us very nicely -- now, if we had pulled the game out -- not so sure...
- The Georgia fan base did not sell their tickets to Notre Dame fans
- I was sitting with Tim Brown and Jerome Bettis at half-time on the Notre Dame bench when the Georgia "Red Coats" Marching Band -- marched directly at us on the sideline. See the photo of Jerome and Tim's reaction seeing the band charging at us -- that's me on the left:
- We miss quickness and speed at the running back spot
- Georgia's speed at every position (but OL and QB) -- is scary!
- Not sure what percentage of Georgia's starting line-up is "home grown" in the Peach State -- but, when they announced their starting line-up, it seemed like every player grew up in Georgia.
- I stood on the sideline for half of the game -- the hitting was intense
- Our kicking game -- solid
- We need to find a running game in big games like this...
- Dropped passes hurt us in the 1st half
- And, the penalties -- when I saw the officials come out onto the field with their SEC sweaters -- I knew we were in for a long day
- The Georgia fan base thought they were going to destroy us -- we earned their respect...
- Impressed we didn't cave -- in that environment, it would have been easy too!
- Georgia's home field advantage is at least 14 points -- it's a really tough environment to play in...
Need to beat Virginia!
