crazy game. this win also crushed the spirit of the Irish. I'm sure they were licking their chops to get into that 2 spot. so sorry, your "signature win" over PITT isn't as impressive as LSU.

I take it you haven't spent much time around the irish. Perhaps we can explain them to you also.
What an avalanche of fail in one sentence.
Surviving Pitt = "signature win"
Alabama was never in the #2 slot, so that comparison makes no sense.
The team actually in the #2 slot just notched a signature win over USC (who remains absurdly overrated despite refusing to play defense). If only Notre Dame was also traveling to the Coliseum to play the Trojans

He put signature win in quotes for sarcasm. And if Bama lost, they drop out of top 3 with Oregon likely #1 and ND #2

had bama lost, ND may have slid up to 2 in the coming weeks.
Irish fan: every team needs a signature win on their way to a national championship. *I laugh at the notion of PITT being that win*

and yet it still makes no sense, with or without any sarcasm.redguard117;2249398; said:
In no scenario is Bama's signature win a relevant comparison to ND.
If they lost, they would sink below ND (and stay there with the media adoration).
If they won, then ND continues to battle with Oregon in a popularity contest. ND's trump card is they face both USC & Stanford and already beat OU, meaning Oregon's "signature wins" are also in ND's back pocket, in a hypothetical where they both win out.

I struggle with understanding how guys who have been around football all of their lives, can be so epically shitty at game management.
To not take a delay of game with 1:30 in the game, and pin Alabama deep with a punt, especially with a field goal kicker with a career long of 43 yards is the correct decision 12 out of 10 times.
Even if you make the kick, you are only up 6 with 1:20 left. You punt, and immediately Alabama is thinking tie rather than win.
It's just really elementary.
