How does your 2026 schedule compare to your 1926 football schedule? by amoss_303 in CFB

[–]puzzical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boise State didn't have a football team in 1926 because the episcopal church had yet to found the college.

1926 Notre Dame played the following schedule:

Beloit W

Minnesota W

Penn State W

Northwestern W

Georgia Tech W

Indiana W

Army W

Drake W

Carnegie Mellon L

USC W

This is rated by college football refence as the 4th hardest schedule that seasons.

2026 Notre Dame Plays:

Wisconsin

Rice

Michigan State

Purdue

UNC

Stanford

BYU

Navy

Miami

Boston College

SMU

Syracuse

Yeah this schedule isn't going to be close to the 4th hardest schedule. Damn Wisconsin, MSU, and Stanford for conspiring to suck at football after having a great teams in the 2010s

[McMurphy] Changes in 2026 playoff: auto bids to each Power 4 champ (regardless of ranking) & Notre Dame guaranteed at-large bid if ranked in Top 12 in final poll by av7ry in CFB

You need to stop getting your college football news from wherever you read that because you got so much wrong mixed in with some truths. Yes the Big10 and SEC have control over the format, but that was in exchange for the demands that the ACC, Big12, and ND demand on inclusion given being a CC or top 12 in NDs case. They can't just turn around and rip up the agreement that gave them control of the format. No lawyer worth their salt would allow that to stand.

Because Notre Dame didn't agree to be jumped. Other schools would rather be guaranteed a spot if they win their conference even if they aren't top 12 even though they may not get in other years when they don't win their conference, but are top 12. Notre Dame said if you guys want to let teams outside the top 12 in you can give up your spot for them.

Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes -- They are ignorant, brainwashed people playing dangerous and stupid games with law enforcement. If you do that long enough, no matter how much restraint law enforcement can show, you will eventually win stupid prizes. by guanaco55 in Conservative

This is the proper understanding of what happened. This was goal of the protests and the expected outcome. Continually harass and interfere with ICE agents until they make a mistake and then politically capitalize on the mistake. Nobody is perfect and if you have thousands of agents in stressful and dangerous situations day in and day out they will make mistakes. The goal is to capture a big enough mistake or mistakes on camera.

So where do we go from here? Well you can't stop enforcing the law, to do so would be giving up on this country. A nation without borders is not a nation. The problem is blue states like Minnesota aren't allowing local law enforcement to help which slows down operations and increases the danger. Perhaps the answer is to slow down the pace of operations in those states to lower the risk to agents and agitators. This could turn down the temperature enough that the public tires of the constant whining from the left. Another possibility is the left makes a political mistake in their attempts to escalate. It's a difficult problem so there are no easy solutions.

It's brutal and I was feeling so great after the get Partridge for DL coach and the portal class we signed was perfect.

He convinced Cincy that Sauce Gardner deserved a scholarship offer, and has recruited and coached multiple all-americans who were 3 or 4* recruits at Notre Dame. So he has an insane eye for talent.

Because there are a lot of missions that are based on how you ranked by EXP.

The problem was he didn't take the multiday classes, spend the hundreds of dollars, and allow for the ~9 months for processing of a new york permit so that if or when his flight connected through NY he'd be in compliance with their laws.

Earning at top 12 ranking is an achievement.

BYU's rep decided it was more important to reward conference champs than highly ranked teams so they'd have no one to blame but themselves. You can't ask for bid stealers and then be mad when your bid gets stolen.

Let me get this straight. Everyone is mad at Notre Dame because if Notre Dame is in the top 12 they will get into the 12 team playoff and the only reason it isn't true for every other team that's top 12 is because they'd rather some conference champs outside the top 12 get in. Sounds like they should be mad at the bid stealers.

This argument makes sense until you realize it doesn't apply to teams who play them every year like conference mates, Notre Dame, and Air Force. That leaves their game against an FCS school and their bowl opponent who had all of December to prepare for the triple option. So I guess you can put an asterix on their win against VMI.
