Is Notre Dame BOUND for the CFB Playoff? What's NEXT for Texas A&M?

um what was the 3:30 3:30 was the uh Florida Miami game uh we'll talk about that one just a minute let's move on to Texas A&M not Dame hey if you're watching this if you're if you're listening on audio podcast which we do have an audio podcast you can go check out now college football addiction link is in the description um if you're watching this please do me a favor hit the Subscribe button uh let's talk a little bit about A&M and Notre Dame again this one kind of went down like we thought I didn't necessarily think that Notre Dame was going to run away with it or win big too great defenses and you really got kind of a classic game I know we like points I know we like a ton of scoring you didn't really have that both teams first half just feeling each other out you know when it was they could drive a little bit but the defenses certainly were really really good and uh and and played kind of B don't break 66 at one point you're thinking man is this you know are we gonna get any points are we gonna get anything going Notre Dame finally breaks through A&M comes back to tie it up at 13 and uh you I thought wigman was was uh he was okay obviously a couple of big mistakes I don't think they hurt him that bad though I think notame only scored three points off the two interceptions um if I'm remembering that correctly I I thought he was okay I thought he was good in some spots he made some nice throws I think A&M will be okay I you know their schedule is tough this year um I'll actually pull that up while we're talking right now but um I I think A&M you know I like Elco so I I think that they'll be you know in pretty good shape I think he knows how to build a program I certainly like the way that they recruit they have still have a lot lot of talent left over from the Jimbo Fisher era you know yeah this is this is where the A&M schedule you certainly have a chance to do some things you're going to beat MCN and then you have Bowling Green two weeks after that but sandwiched in between those two is a game in Gainesville at benh Hill Griffin Stadium against the Florida Gator and we saw what the Florida Gator did yesterday um I would expect Florida to play better against A&M I think Miami is probably a better team than A&M that's projecting because I I can't you know teams haven't played each other we've only seen 60 Minutes of football so far year but that game is going to be huge for both teams um Florida is going to need to win that game for probably billion ap's career I or you know his Florida Career if they lose to A&M they've already got losses to Georgia Texas Old Miss probably in Knoxville LSU Florida State like you know the the path to a bull gets extremely dire if they can't beat A&M and then the same thing for A&M you lose to Notre Dame okay that's a top 10 team you were favored but only by a feel like that you know we'll forgive that first game of a new era but then if you beat MCN State and and nobody cares about MCN state or MCN for sure and then you gotta play at Florida Florida thought of as a pretty bad team I'd imagine that A&M's a favorite going to that game but I think it's close A&M minus three A&M minus four something like that time stamp that and come back and and call me on it if you want but if you can beat Florida you're starting three and one and then you play Arkansas in the southwest classic just uh a week later and I think that they're better than Arkansas I think they win that in Arlington Texas at Jerry World um you get Missouri later you have you know it gets tough later with LSU Auburn Texas on this schedule but it's pretty manageable if you're A&M right you you took a loss now you're you could theoretically win your next four games against MCN Florida Bowling Green and Arkansas get back to four- one I I mean the Missouri game it's going to be a good offense versus a good defense we'll see not ready to make a call in that one but go on the road to Mississippi State I certainly think you could win that LSU is going to be tough at South Carolina A&M could certainly win that New Mexico State they could certainly win that at Jordan hair that's a tough one and then Texas to finish it but at home that's at Kyle Field um they could win a lot of games man they could be an eight and4 team but they gota they got to take care of these the floridas the Arkansas's um the South Carolinas the New Mexico like there there are games on there that are winnable they probably need to beat Auburn if they want to get to that eight win mark But season certainly not over for A&M I think that if they can stay healthy if if Elco can continue to get Improvement out of that team I think they'll be really good um I thought Notre Dame was better going in I thought Notre Dame should have been a favorite even on the road um I thought Notre Dame played better I thought Riley Leonard looked you know certainly healthy he was running really well he looked really good um I I don't know how many defenses Notre Dame's going to see that are as good as A&M's in fact like we can look at their schedule real quick you look at Notre Dame schedule and it's not incredibly opposing imposing at all Northern Illinois that's an easy win at Purdue Miami of Ohio they get Louisville but that game's at home they play Stanford one of the worst teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference as weird as that is at Georgia Tech's an interesting one obviously Georgia Tech uh with a big win against Florida State but then didn't look great last night against Georgia State ended up winning going away obviously the talent disparity there is pretty big but um Navy that's easy win Florida State we'll see again that that is at home um but we'll see what Florida state is Virginia terrible Army they'll win and then at USC so at USC Florida state Georgia Tech Louisville I mean I think you know they probably don't want to but they could probably go two and two in those and and be fine they probably don't want to go two and two in those like don't leave that in the committee's hands but if they go three and one against that slate I think they're in the playoff and and I think Louisville and Georgia techer wins you know and then maybe you split with Florida State and USC at worst uh Notre Dame looks like they have just because of their schedule now they got to they got to go out and perform but Notre Dame looks like they already have their name Pinel marked into the playoff uh they would have to really melt down against you know all four you know three or four of those teams that that I mentioned right Louisville Georgia Tech Florida State USC and I don't see that I think that they're they've got advantages in all of those games I think they're gonna be favored in every game maybe minus the USC game um so I think they're in really good shape to to put their names in the playoff but again I think A&M is going to be really good too as far as the game again I you know really really impressive drive by Mike Elco Riley Leonard and that team late with about five five and a half minutes to go they they methodically held the ball held the drive and and went and scored late now you know did did did uhm let them score or did it just kind of benefit A&M to let them score I thought it was good that they scored right out of that two-minute warning um it helped A&M a ton to be able to get the ball back now they couldn't do anything with it and I thought that fourth down play call was really weird um it it you know they had been jumping routes for a lot of the night and you know you you just had a really nice run so spreading him out maybe running it again or giving the giving you know wigman a run pass option might have been smart but just to throw a slant to the outside I I you know he didn't put enough zip on it uh and then the DB jumped it and that was the end of the game they get the field goal late to to win by 10 but um I you know I thought that it was really impressive for another Dame to go in there a tough place to play like we we joked with Joe about how tough that place was to play and this that and the other but a tough place to play a really good defense two excellent defenses um and and you saw Notre Dame come out on top so thought they were impressive for sure
