ND hate should be greater than it is. Miami beat ND in head to head. Miami beat ND. Miami beat ND. End of discussion. ND needs to be brought down to it knees and made to join a conference like everyone else.
They lost to Miami head to head. To me that is all I need to know. Alabama shouldn’t be there either, but they always seem to get a little extra help.
ND AD blasts ACC commish for “pushing” Miami for the playoff spot claiming ND is a valued member of the ACC in 24 sports. Yet ND stood to gain $4m if they made the playoffs and because they are not a football member of the ACC they would not have to share any of it with them. They always want it both ways just like when they wouldn’t honor the home and home with us because they wanted to play the UConn home game in either The Meadowlands or in Gillette. I say, screw them whether they rightfully belonged in the playoffs or not.
Point taken. August 31st., but still, point taken. Also Duke won the ACC, of which Miami is a member, Miami Did Not. Why not Duke?
100% agree with you!
Are you really asking why Duke isn't in the playoff? Also, the games count, regardless of when they were played. Nice effort by ND to keep it close, maybe they will do better next time.
Because? Conform or else? Uconn belongs in a conference. I hear the sun belt is nice
So was miamis and miami lost to worst teams
Ha! Fantastic. You don’t see the hypocrisy of ND, demanding special treatment in football and then being upset when they are hurt by the special treatment they demanded?
You mean the special treatment that miami received despite being bad
ND is free to pursue their dream of being offered membership in the Sun Belt Conference. I'm sure they'll receive consideration. But it's gotta be for all sports, no exceptions.
And ND couldn’t even beat them! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Notre Dame is the most self entitled organization in college sports and it’s been proven out in the last 4 days.
I had some sympathy for them, but they are clearly a delusional group from the top down. They truly have convinced themselves that they have some generational team, playing at some historic level of football. Pathetic.
Miami didn’t receive special treatment. They’re a full member of the ACC while ND is an associate member. The conference chose to advocate for the full member rather than the team that’s a member when it suits them
Well Tom, I did look up the ACC tiebreaker rules and here's the ridiculous reality: Had the ACC used any other Power Conference’s tie-breaking system the league would have sent a different participant to the title game than Duke. Here's who would have played Virginia had the ACC been using the tie breaking systems of the other conferences. (interestingly each of the other conference tiebreak systems would have created a different opponent for Virginia--perhaps a reason for tie breaking to use a uniform system) Under the SEC's tie breaking system Virginias opponent would have been Louisville, Big Ten's--North Carolina, Big 12's--NC State, even the old Pac-12's — Clemson. In every one of those alternate formats, whoever won the ACC Championship game would be the ACC champion--and Virginia --or any of those four others would have outranked James Madison and officially taken the auto-bid-- and Notre Dame would have punched its ticket as an at-large. Happiness was that close!
