Podcast: Cover 3 College Football Episode: ACC Win Totals Part 2: North Carolina, SMU, Virginia Tech & MORE | Will Notre Dame Go Undefeated? Segment: Purdue podcast segment **Top Team-Specific Takeaways** - Are you favorite on the road at Purdue? - Not by any meaningful margin, but also Purdue is not going to be some massive favorite over you. Transcript excerpt: They decided that was the guy they should bring with them to Tech. So I just, how many games are they favorite in three? Stanford home, Mary Mac and Akron. Are you favorite on the road at Purdue? Not by any meaningful margin, but also Purdue is not going to be some massive favorite over you. Like that's one that to hit this. They probably need to go get that one, right? Yeah, and then we're talking about the UVA Calist. Like now we very quickly. We're like, oh yeah, win, win, win, win. And then it drops into I don't know if they can win that game very quickly. And they did the UVA last year, but Morris was knocked out of the game. Remember in Street Close pretty early in the second quarter. So that was what, 19 to six, I think the final or 69? And this secondary is ridiculous. So, they're going to just eat everybody alive. I mean, Wisconsin took the old Dominion quarterback, which I think is an interesting get, but probably not a great fit for what they actually do. Rice, Michigan State, Purdue, Carolina, Stanford, BYU, like, Bach Meyers, who better runner than he is a passer, and those receivers are, I mean, Notre Dame's going to see better receivers in practice every day than, you know, on the second team. And what BYU runs out there from receiving standpoint. So, like, even if they make that game ugly, it's like, which I imagine they will, it'll be a dog fight for at least a while, I would think. You still get CJ Carr really high level play on both lines of scrimmage and no passing threat from BYU against a legit defense. So, they're not going to play a single decent passing game until Miami comes to town. And then, like, Miami might be like. Now, look at this schedule. If you're a Notre Dame fan, you're not going to games. You live somewhere else around the country. You watch them at home. I'm saying if you are one of the Notre Dame players, it's not going to games. Like how many winner you finally paying attention to a fourth quarter before you just kind of flip around to see what's going on with the other games Like BYU is that the first time you feel like you're gonna go into the fourth quarter of a game where you're actually kind of like Well shit this game might still be up for grabs I mean if they slow play Wisconsin and Wisconsin comes out with like Fastballs and fury then maybe it gets a little dicey and you're dealing with one of those I was rewatching Oregon Washington from last year a game that Oregon totally controlled But just wasn't pulling away and then you looked up and it was 19 14 with eight minutes left to go in the fourth quarter But then Oregon hit the Jets on him. I could see Wisconsin, you know coming up with enough red zone stops and Making that somewhat interesting, but I'm not trying to play semantics. I agree with you It could be October 17th before there's a competitive four quarter game It might be important that they kill Wisconsin if they're it might but I don't know because like that's the one team They play from the big 10 that has any prayer making a bowl I mean, how many bowl teams are on this schedule? Wisconsin probably Michigan State no Purdue no Carolina Stanford no BYU. Like how many power four bowl teams? I mean I was just saying total bowl teams five or six Yeah, maybe we'll go bowling Rice could go bowling I'm not sure how much hey we beat bowl eligible rice is gonna carry with the committee but Um We'll find out hey, I'll tell you what we'll find out don't be out here telling you how many teams they beat with that are in the postseason I Guess I'm under it at this price You know like 11 half is is tough to do Things happen You know what I do you know what my galaxy brain prediction is I Think they do go 12 and 0 I think they get the buy and I think they get beat one and done in the playoff See all right. I was thinking along those lines to where Notre Dame fans don't take this as hate I'm just saying objectively if you are not a Notre Dame fan and This team runs rough shot through the schedule all season long and it's 12 and 0 the most the funniest possible outcome Would be that getting to the playoff finally playing a team for the first time outside of Miami And then losing because you you haven't been battle tested at any point and they would have also been off since November 28 So it would have been about a month off and You're not playing at home You'll be at a neutral site in the quarterfinals as the one seed and here comes either Alabama or LSU Coming off an absolute dog fight in the eight nine game And that's probably the biggest question on this team right is What is the quality of your playmakers like I think they have good receivers? I'm not saying they're like outside the top 20 Do they have will they have one guy emerge who truly scares you come play off time? Because the way they're gonna tell you down great a little bit They're gonna tell you that Jordan face-on's just gonna continue this ascent sure and I very open to the idea that great house puts it together And it's kind of hopefully does. Hey, we've been talking about Jaden great house since Barton was on the show He's still there. I mean it's still it's he's allowed to emerge into a superstar I'm also I I'm not closing the door in Quincy Porter or my land-gramp But one of those dudes could emerge as a dude like they did started Ohio State for a reason But yeah, I do think the running room back room takes a slight step back But I still think it's free town that they just don't have Jeremiah love I mean they had to freaking first-round pick that right last year It's hard for them to be better, but they're they're still pretty good, but yeah, it's Yeah, you know what we will say that chip if they do go undefeated and then get housed in their first playoff game The cover three podcasts will say well join a conference nerds I Know a little good too. I mean like OCD's he combos nuts. I I Think Freeman's a good coach.
