James Madison and Tulane didn't play anyone.

If you think that Notre Dame was not screwed, you're crazy.

You have an argument there but I'm glad the G5 got two teams in. It goes against what everyone says about the power conferences controlling everything and screwing the little guy.

I think Notre Dame is better than Miami, Bama, James Madison, and Tulane but Miami and Bama should've gotten in over them and I'm glad the G5 teams were shown respect. The whole system is flawed, Vandy wasn't even really considered and I think they're better than like half the teams.

Not true at all, NDs problem was ending up in competition with a team they lost to and have no big wins on their resume.

If Miami didn’t gag in the ACC or the ACC had a sane tie breaker, ND is in no problem.
 
What hurt the ACC is that Miami never played Virginia. Had they played in the regular season I think the ACC champ is in w/o issue.
 
I really hope we get in a power 4 soon. It Tulane and James Madison can get to a playoff in a sub par conference, what could we do?

Could not be happier for my Mick friends, especially because it's Sunday. LOL

Yes, but my point is that as an independent, they don't have much slack.

Trust me, if Notre Dame wants to join any conference, they're in

I just LOVE that ND is coming up on FORTY years not winning a National Championship in football despite having every advantage you could have. Maybe next year golden domers! HAHAHAHAHAHA

I don't know why you think that. I watched a couple of late season Miami games and they absolutely dominated. In the game where they beat #22 Pitt in Pgh, they looked like a top 5 team. In Miami's final four games, they outscored opponents 151-41.

I'm not sure they will tell the full story.

Yes, there is basically zero chance Tulane or JMU can win four straight games against this competition (as Booger claimed, as his reasoning for leaving them out). I don't see how anyone could say Texas, ND or any of the other P level schools that were left out could win four straight against this competition either.

At some point what a school has earned should hold more weight than what a few 'talking heads' feel as far as who may be better.

Because they've looked better to me late in the season and I think their team was capable of winning the whole thing, I don't think Miami is capable of winning the whole thing. In Notre Dame's final four games they outscored opponents 205-52.
 
Alabama has a pretty easy path to the Final. An overrated Oklahoma team & then a Cinderella Indiana team. I can see them stealing this Title.

Maybe ND should have beaten Miami head to head then. Objective result vs eye test wins the day
 
A few things…

1. I’m glad one of ND or the ACC got screwed here. Was hoping it would be the ACC but I’ll take ND as a consolation prize. I don’t know if any of this will play a role in our future in this landscape but I love seeing the conference who is too stupid to see the logic in adding us and the school who thinks they’re better than everyone else get in a situation where one gets screwed.

2. I’m glad the committee stuck to what their job was. They could have easily stuck in all three of Bama, ND, and Miami and made idiots like Kannel happy. They didn’t and good for them. It’s good for the health of CFB that it’s possible for more than one team outside the P4 to make it. It’s likely never going to happen again but this sport is on life support for a lot of people outside of the SEC and B1G. It’s becoming minor leagues and everyone knows it. It’s good to see that other teams are given a chance.

3. Now that my second point is made, these G5 teams need to show up and prove that they deserved to be there. They can’t get blown out. They need to silence the critics.
 
We all know what's going to happen, they will expand the playoffs to 16 teams. The SEC will be happy cause they get even more teams in and Notre Dame will have a better shot at making it with 16 slots

At least Notre Dame was the casualty.

They got screwed by a horrible committee, what a joke. Miami didn’t even win a confernce that was won by a team UConn beat. Don’t care about head to head when it was 13 weeks ago one team was obviously better than the other now and it wasn’t close.

It’s officially a joke won’t watch a second.

Should just simply be top 12 teams period, or top 16 if you go to 16 eventually. ND did get screwed but I don't care cry me a river.

There is some logic to what you are saying….however, how can you decide who the top 12 teams are. Polls are a beauty contest. Computer rankings are based on human algorithms that incorporate bias. when we have bloated conferences that don’t play many meaningful out of conference games, you are never comparing apples to apples. It’s always a popularity contest.

Miami is far better on the line of scrimmage than ND is. Between those two teams they would also have the most dynamic player on the field in that Toney kid. And this isn't to say ND is bad, because they aren't. I just see that as a big edge between the two. None of it matters though, as the correct decision was made and all these teams that are in will have their shot at it.
