The ND defense was legit. No doubt about it. The offense just doesn’t seem on the same level as the other 3 playoff teams. But outside of these 2 teams every single team had noticeable flaws. ND struggled offensively at times. Oklahoma and Ohio State didn’t play defense. Georgia was probably the most well balanced of the rest of the group, but they had their chance and lost their 2 biggest games (now 3 biggest games of the year). Does ND belong with Clemson and Alabama? No. Did they belong in the playoff? Yes.

 

Agreed.

I hope this game doesn’t hurt Bama’s chances vs. the Bills.
