Notre Dame championship and playoff losses @ND

2012 Alabama BCS Championship
No one was beating that Alabama team and they would likely win by 40+ against this years ND championship team.

Predicted Line vs. 2024 ND would be ALA -19.5

2019 Clemson
Clemson had a second year Trevor Lawrence and were absolutely rolling coming off of a National Title win the year prior.

Predicted Line vs 2024 ND would be CLEM -12.5

2020 Alabama
I really don’t have to say much here other than they are a top 3 football team of our lives.

Predicted Line vs 2024 ND would be ALA -24.5

So before ND fans jump on their high horse and act like Freeman is doing something “Kelly could never do” at Notre Dame just think about who Kelly has had to play.

The truth about Notre Dame is even at their best there will always be someone better than them. We’ve seen it time and time again and there is a reason they are a 10 point dog heading into the title game.

I will eat all of my words if they somehow beat OSU but until they do, Freeman isn’t doing anything Kelly didn’t.

Where did you get your predicted lines from?

Comparing the teams Kelly coached in those games and those lines plus the fact they are 10 point dog to a two loss Ohio State team that would lose to all of those teams.

I don't care

Its amazing to me how this board has allowed their opinion of BK get under your skin.

They are an elitist fanbase with a similar mindset of our friends in Tuscaloosa.

Ignore them

No. There is reasoning and logic behind the predictions. I can see maybe a few point swings either way but they would all be in that area.

Predictions are rarely 100% accurate so yes. You take a look at the line when ND played them and ND lines from this year and you make your own! I bet we’re pretty close.

Except he did. He also did it when they only let 4 teams into the CFP.

But he didn’t have to win multiple big games to get there which is his kryptonite

No way to tell, but it’s apples to oranges because Kelly faced much better teams than Freeman has. So it’s a dumb comparison either way.

He also didn’t have NIL or the transfer portal so we are comparing apples to oranges.

Let them have their day in the Sun. Ohio State is going to curb stomp them and remind them who they are.

Philly, here you go. Explain the blowouts. Look at his wins in those years. He's under .500 vs ranked opponents in his career. 3-6 at LSU. Something else is motivating you folks to prop BK up. You need him to be something he isn't and never was. Lol. Look at the schedules and results.

Kelly's Season Records w/Key Losses:

Notre Dame
2010 ... 8-5, Stan (37-14), Navy (35-17), Tulsa
2011 ... 8-5, USC (31-17), Stan (28-14), USF
*2012 ... 12-1, Bama (42-14), *Wins vacated (ineligible players)
*2013 ... 9-4, OU (35-21), Pitt, Mich, Stan, *Wins vacated (ineligible players)
2014 ... 8-5, Arizona State (55-31), USC (49-14), Northwestern, Louisville
2015 ... 10-3, Ohio State (44-28), Clemson, Stan
2016 ... 4-8, USC (45-27), Texas, MSU, Duke, Navy, Va Tech
2017 ... 10-3, Miami (41-8), Stan (38-20), UGA
2018 ... 12-1, Clemson (30-3)
2019 ... 11-2, Michigan (45-14), UGA
2020 ... 10-2, Clemson (34-10), Bama (31-14)
2021 ... 11-2, Cincinnati (24-13)

LSU
2022 ... 10-4, Tennessee (40-13), A&M (38-23), UGA (50-30)
2023 ... 10-3, FSU (45-24), Bama (42-28)

Sorry ND Fans. But Marcus Freeman coached ND with this team this year. Would get blown out by the Alabama team CBK got beat in National Championship game.
