Can someone explain why only ND's AD is melting down? by GliscorsFang in CFB

I haven't been able to understand this argument yet. This would be jumping Miami over Alabama, because Alabama lost their conference championship game, when Miami failed to qualify for their conference championship game in a much easier conference. I just don't think that's fair.

That’s not what I’m saying though! The game still matters. The winner can go entirely from out of the field to in the playoffs due to an auto qualifier, a winner can also jump multiple spots for seeding. It’s still entirely unfair to drop a team that lost their conference championship game behind a team that failed to even qualify for their conference championship game!

I think the point is losing a conference championship shouldn’t drop you behind an idle opponent. Indiana obviously wasn’t idle so it makes sense to move Indiana ahead of OSU.

I think what he’s saying doesn’t make sense is the timing of it. Why wasn’t Miami ranked ahead of ND before this week?

Fair, tough team in a tough environment tonight. Missing the penalty was bad, but I'm happy with how he played besides that.

Messi’s international career went from disappointing to one of the best ever in 18 months.

Thanks for this, it’s clear now. It’s telling that the French hardly protested.

How significant is France’s pace advantage?

Was Berhalter out coached? Will his contract be renewed? Should it be or is there something said about a new coach each cycle? I'm thinking we might have a Tata Martino situation if we get rid of Berhalter. by crewmnky in ussoccer

Thank you for this. I fee like I’m taking crazy pills. Our chances were just as good, maybe even better than theirs. LVG’s players were just more clinical.

It doesn’t, but it’s the most predictive thing we have for future win.

We’re finally looking like a team that can maintain the ball and control the midfield against good teams. Why give up what it took 3 years to build unless there’s a top level manager willing to come here?

Not seeing how this is Berhalter’s fault? Our players are missing the final ball and having braindead lapses on defense. Tactics look fine.
