Yeah.

I absolutely do.

Because I think there's a...

I don't know that every version of 9-3 Ohio State gets to the playoff, but I think most versions of 9-3 Ohio State get to the playoff.

And then once that team's in there, they can absolutely go win the whole thing.

We just saw them do it two years ago.

So, yeah, it's like a weird thing to wrap your mind around.

But, yes, I think it's very possible that we see that happen.

I think one here or there is fine.

Embrace is not the word I would use.

I mean, that's Texas, though.

They do, but if you want to play that game, Texas is 6th, Oregon's 11th, USC is 13th.

I say this as someone who had Notre Dame as the one seed in our first playoff picks, as I kind of think they're not going to lose, but this also feels like too big of an ask.

To actually want to put money down on it, I think.

For all the reasons Matt said, there's just been too many instances of Marcus Freeman losing a game that he shouldn't lose.

I don't think that's going to pop up in a way that keeps Notre Dame from making the playoff, but running the table...

Even against somewhat easy schedules, it's still a pretty difficult thing to pull off.

It's not like it happens regularly, and Marcus Freeman has yet to do that.

Eight wins, nine wins, 11 wins, and 10 wins in a regular season in his four years as head coach.

This is asking him to do something he's never done before.
