| Other than first game at home vs ND who did Miami beat? Why have a conference championship if winner doesn’t get automatic bid. |
| Simple solution. Tell ND that independent schools will no longer will be involved in the CFP. |
| The good news for Notre Dame is that everyone is talking about the University of Michigan now. Luck of the Irish. |
| ^better solution since CFP stands for College Football Playoff, eligible schools have to be ranked in the top 50, 75, or even low bar top 100 academically by US News. |

Miami beat a top 12 ranked team (ND). The highest ranked team Duke beat was VA, in the ACC championship, and VA is top 20, not top 12. The only other ranked team Duke played was Georgia Tech, and Duke lost that game.
Miami earned the playoff spot by beating a more difficult team than Duke while maintaining the same regular season record. Yes it's kind of dumb but trying to compare college football teams is always kind of dumb because there are too many teams and the best teams barely play each other and it's always sort of guesswork. |
Doubtful. JMU is excellent. Before Coach cignetti moved to now #1 ranked Indiana, he was the head football coach at JMU. |
A profound lack of understanding of the history and purpose of college football |

Alabama 34 Oklahoma 24 (on the road in Norman)
Miami 10 Texas A&M 3 (on the road at College Station) So Notre Dame lost to Miami and the team Miami beat today, and lost to that team, A&M, in South Bend |
Notre Dame would beat both those teams today. |
Hard to do while they’re pouting at home. |
Lol, I feel embarrassed for you. |
Spare your feelings. The games today were an absolute joke. Tulane and JMU should not have been there. I am sure ESPN ratings sunk last night. Notre Dame and BYU would have rounded out the bracket much more appropriately. The Miami players are also the most atrocious human beings in college football, trolling the Heisman finalist who will likely be a first round draft pick. Those players will be serving him fries in a few years lol. There's a reason it's called Catholics vs. Convicts. Funny how weeks later, ND still living rent free in these goofballs' heads lol. |

An ESPN analyst stated that if the Group of 5 CFP teams were blown out by Ole Miss and Oregon, then significant changes should be made to the selection process for the CFP teams. I agree.
Notre Dame has no complaint this year as the former ND athletic director had substantial input of the current CFP teams selection process. Yes, Notre Dame and BYU would have made for a stronger CFP field than did Tulane & JMU, but the exposure for the non-Power 4 Conferences was important and admirable I purpose. Expanding the CFP field to 16 teams with no teams getting byes is an approach to consider in the immediate future. Both U Miami & Texas A&M deserved their CFP playoff invitations over Notre Dame as each team beat Notre Dame in head-to-head confrontations and all had similar regular season records. Also, due to Notre Dame football's weak to modest strength of schedule, Notre Dame deserved nothing and Notre Dame football failed to earn an offer to compete in the CFP. Notre Dame football is synonymous with greed & arrogance. Well, greed, arrogance, and unaffiliated independence is, at best, an expensive luxury. |
Dude, you have got to get over this. |
