It would be more interesting if the score were closer. I don't have a dog in the fight either, I switched over to watch something else after the score got out of hand. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

When Clemson has Lawrence they can beat anyone. Maybe not this years Bama but anyone else. As bad as it pains me to say it , A&M is a very solid team and deserves the no 3 spot . |

Also have to give Florida a lot of credit. They gave number 1 a serious game. They had a lot of ups and downs this year but they showed promise yesterday. |

| Have only watched a few KC games this year, ONLY team I wish to see. Mizzou Tigers CoMo Team is a loss for comments this time around. |

I read they moved the Rose Bowl. I'm guessing out of CA due to their restrictions. Then I heard there may not be any bowl games. ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

| And luck of the Irish it is. They just got their butts beat bad by a multiple loss team and made the playoffs while A&M fresh off an all sec 7 game winning streak didn’t make it in.😖 |

Sadly, I found out that the Irish will be going head-to-head against Alabama again  !! What another embarrassment this will be

IRISH draw a crowd.... Like UCLA in basketball.... they could have a 50- 50 record and STILL get invited to the finals. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

I see your point Steve, it's just that they are so local, ALL of the local news channels rant/rave about wins for DAYS after a win even though the "win" might be against a class 5A HS team, yet when they lose, the "adopt-a-pet" segment gets more air time LMAO !!! Yes, $$$ talks, I forget how many more years ND has the NBC contract for the home games. Thanks for the reply.

Notre Dame’s media revenue is structured a bit differently because they’re independent. Their current deal with https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/9186897/nbc-extends-notre-dame-fighting-irish-football-deal-2025" rel="nofollow - NBC is only worth $15 million annually. That’s for seven home games a season. The Irish also get a portion of the ACC’s money. https://slapthesign.com/2019/12/10/acc-deal-beneficial-notre-dame-19/" rel="nofollow - That portion is only $5.8 million. Notre Dame makes just under $21 million annually from its media deal. As far as Notre Dame’s deal with https://www.athleticbusiness.com/more-news/notre-dame-under-armour-deal-richest-in-college-history.html" rel="nofollow - Under Armour goes, they get $90 million over 10 seasons. Unlike Michigan, Notre Dame is a private institution. This makes it significantly harder to find any other specifics on the program’s revenue. However, Forbes ranks Notre Dame as the https://www.forbes.com/sites/chrissmith/2018/09/11/college-footballs-most-valuable-teams/#204098866c64" rel="nofollow - 7th most valuable program in the country , with $112 million in annual revenue. Just ahead of Notre Dame were:

Thank you for your time to look up these "stats" !! Like I said, even though they are LITTERALLY 21 miles away from my front door, I have NO favoritism for them  !!

| Rumor has it that the college football playoffs are being funded by the Vatican. |

Does ALABAMA have any affiliation with the "Vatican" ??

The bowl game setup is a joke. GOOD teams don't make it while mediocre teams get in. Go figure....just another reason why I don't watch anymore. $$$$$$ has ruined so much of what we used to love. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

This is why I'm pretty sure it will be a "REAPEAT" of the ND/Alabama fiasco years ago  !!
