In 1972, holding Notre Dame to 3 TDs at ND was an accomplishment....However, Frogs started with a 4-1 season then the loss to ND started a 1-5 last half of the season....In Dan Jenkins's 1991 "You Gotta Play Hurt," TCU and ND played in the Cotton Bowl...game finished 21-21 on a TCU extra point with 2 secs on the clock....Voters in AP voted TCU champion and Coaches Poll voters picked Michigan....

We lost our quarterback in those first 5 games. Our back up was not that good. We even changed to a guy at the end who last played quarterback in high school and now is a dentist. He at least beat Texas Tech.

Kansas State5-4.5563-12-20-1W16-6.5004-22-30-1W1

Toss out the Arizonas and Utah since they're not in our pool. I'm going to assume Tech beats BYU again and only Tech makes the playoffs from the Big XII. Iowa State holds a tiebreaker over us. That means we're in line for the 4th bowl in our pool, which is the Liberty Bowl in Memphis.
If BYU upsets Tech and they're both in the playoffs, then we bump up to the Texas Bowl in Houston.
That's how I read it. Go BYU!

Great bowl placement analysis, ShreveFrog!
The logic is there, and that kinda concerns me since nothing in college football seems logical anymore. If you analysis holds, it look like the Frogs will end up in one of the two best possible bowls during the days-off holidays for better viewership.
BTW…I am with you on Tech winning the B12 Championship and byu being left out of playoffs…

If Duke defeats Virginia and #25 James Madison wins the Sun Belt, then the ACC does not have an automatic way into the CFP. The ranked Sun Belt and American Athletic Conference champs are in. Duke isn’t ranked and won’t be, even with a win over Virginia.

The committee could then finagle reasoning to bump up Miami as the lone ACC rep, but will face harsh criticism since they now have ND and BYU ranked ahead of Miami. Otherwise, the ACC would be out of the playoff.

Maybe you have already covered that here and I suspect a Duke win at the expense of an ACC entry is what you all are rooting for.

what's really crazy of is duke wins, and bama loses. You could have two 5 teams in The winner of University of North Texas/Tulane will likely jump JMU. If a second G5 team gets in, probably JMU. If duke wins, bama loses and JMU loses, and UNLV wins tonight. the second G5 considered would be UNLV.

Dumb. Money at stake for the program. You don't leave that decision to players. Their job, which they are now paid for, is to play.

I generally agree with this idea. And if Klieman had truly retired on his own iniative as @tmcats believes to be the case, then I'd be in full agreement. AD ought to say, "You're under contract for the season, finish the job and convince the players to play, or we'll dock you for the payout." Then, if Klieman wants to put the decision on the players, so be it.

But if the real story is that Klieman was forced out to make way for Klein, forgoing the bowl payout is just part of the transition cost. At that point, you can't expect the coach to coach, and you can't object to the coach, who's still technically in charge, putting the decision to the players. Price you pay for a graceful exit.
