If the Dawgs get past what will most likely be a matchup with a tough ND team, then you have to like the potential semifinal matchup.
The SMU vs Bama debate was simply no-win…pick SMU and you diminish the OOC schedules, pick Bama and you diminish the conference championships. With that said, Bama can't complain a whole lot after losing to OU by 21…that was just too much to overcome.
I like our possible path. Other than the Arizona st bracket, it looks to be an easier path. I hope we get a shot at Indiana, but I’m confident we can beat either them or ND. Tickled that ala did NOT get in. The brand isn’t in the playoffs! Go Dawgs!
So, The strongest, most respected conference in America…..The SEC got three teams in the play offs, snubbing Bama……the Cup Cake Conference got four plus ND, which may as well be in the B1G…..that's what you get with a B1G Homer like Ward Manuel calling the shots.
