Overrated? Social media trashes Notre Dame after blowout loss to Clemson

After No. 2 Clemson’s 30-3 win over No. 3 Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl, social media was packed with memes, jokes and suggestions for the College Football Playoff selection committee. The reactions had a common theme: Notre Dame clearly did not belong in the final four.

Here’s a small sampling of the social media reaction to the blowout at Jerry World:

Hey #CFBPlayoff Committee, great work putting in Notre Dame and not Georgia #CottonBowlClassic pic.twitter.com/oFhvHP0Xvt

If only Notre Dame/Clemson happened on Dec. 1st like it was supposed to….we could watching something entertaining like Clemson/Oklahoma right now….

once again Notre Dame proves that the only way they should be a in a championship game is to buy tickets and sit in the stands. They are overrated every single year

Notre Dame did not belong in this game. I think Georgia or even the Luckeyes would have given Clemson a better game. However, I remember what happened the last time the Luckeyes played Clemson. #CottonBowl pic.twitter.com/UQjwmH5qlZ

Notre Dame shouldn’t be allowed in the playoffs unless they win their conference championship
