I reckon the first two weeks are always a bit light on until all the major teams start playing

Cheers.
Not real fussed as Notre Dame are playing Navy in Ireland at 4am our time and I never expected a game in Ireland to get covered.
Mind you I'm assuming/hoping the ESPN app still shows a lot of games not on ESPN/Fox.

Out of curiosity because i love watching the US college sports systems.

How did you guys pick your favourite team, i've tried to pick a team but just can't get emotionally attached to a US college i have no affiliation with whatsoever.

I liked Notre Dame's history, school system, values, class and the fact they're an independent. And I always choose teams that are midrange not dominating.
The movie Rudy confirmed it all too.
I also wanted to claim ownership over the song that Sydney and the old Port Adelaide stole. :lol:
I have a hat, polo and jumper already but the polo is my favourite being all green.
What a great mascot too, the fighting Irish! (I'm part Irish)

My son follows the Oregon Ducks just because he likes being different. :lol:

I’m a Clemson fan and have been for two decades closely followed by Notre Dame, also because of Rudy, one of my favorite movies

Notre Dame is the closest i have came to having a team given my Irish heritage and the fact my partner is from Ireland. Also loved a 30/30 doco on Notre Dame but just havent 'got it' yet.

Indiana completed its two-year turnaround from worst to first with a 27-21 victory over Miami in the College Football Playoff championship game.

The Hoosiers, who had the most losses of any team in college football until November, became the first major college team to go 16-0 since Yale in 1894.

Jamari Sharpe intercepted Beck’s deep pass with 44 seconds left to secure the victory.

Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza made a spectacular diving 12-yard touchdown run on a fourth-and-4 to give the Hoosiers a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter. Nico Radicic’s 35-yard field goal with 1:42 left put the Hoosiers ahead by six after Malachi Toney had scored for Miami.

Indiana also scored on a blocked punt.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

They were incredible this season.

Thought they had luck on their side today, 50/50 things went their way.
