THEY SCREWED NOTRE DAME!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes!!!!!!!!

The committee just told them to join a conference!

I love it.

No they didn't. They had the same resume but Miami totally outplayed them head to head (despite the win only being 3 points)

 

[Rich]

Today is a great day.

Hurricanes in.

Irish OUT.

The committee got it right-Miami will probably lose to A&M but the entertainment value will be 1,000,000 times better. Hopefully they pull an '87 Orange Bowl and show up in battle fatigues or some such nonsense.

I'm Shocked

But they rewarded Miami and ACC. Bummed

James Madison and Tulane didn't play anyone.

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

I'm no Irish fan, but Notre Dame is clearly a better football team than Alabama. Clearly. Especially based on how they're playing right now. Bama lost to a pedestrian Oklahoma team at home and was very fortunate to beat Auburn.

"You can't punish a team for playing in the conference championship."

Tell that to BYU. Or the 2017 Auburn team that Bama jumped from sitting on their couch championship weekend.

"Bama earned their way into a conference championship game."

No they didn't. They won a stupid, arbitrary tiebreaker over two teams they didn't play.

I'd marvel at the committee's ability to get it wrong every year, but it's not getting it wrong. It has an agenda. Five SEC teams is obscene. This isn't the SEC from 15 years ago. It's OOC performance was extremely underwhelming. ESPN found a way to get both of their properties in (SEC & ACC) and stick it to Notre Dame.

In the end it's a win for college football. Join a conference. They would have won the Big 12 or ACC

 

[Forte]

So UConn has a path to the CFP?

Ask the conferences if they want ND to join one and I bet they all vote no — because they don’t want ND joining a competitor.

 

[UConnDan97]

Mixed emotions on this.

ND getting screwed maybe tells them to get in a conference, which could possibly help us down the line. But they deserved to be in.

Miami getting in, even though the ACC really doesn't deserve a representative, tells me that the P4 is really trying hard to protect the "P4" branding. (Remember before the expansion when "you have to win your conference" arguments were keeping SEC teams in with 2 losses?).

Which brings me to Alabama, which is the team I would have left out but... you know...SEC runs college football...

 

[BRS24]

Unless ND is consistently a 0 or 1 loss team, they will probably always be in this position if they are ranked anywhere b/w 9-12 in all the ranking lists.

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

 

[B1GEast]

Basically Notre Dame has to go undefeated or maybe lose 1 game to have a chance

 

[Vowelguy]

Yes of course
I meant “do the conferences want ND to join one.” No, unless it’s theirs.

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.

 

[Dooooooomed]

The G5 bashing is a bit much...

Good 😂

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.

 

[storrsroars]

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.

 

[B1GEast]

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?

 

[NEforceUConn]

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

 

[Scoe]

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.

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

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
