First of, this is based on the committee making shite up as they go.


With Duke winning the ACCCG, there's no ACC rep in the playoffs. Won't be surprised if politics prevail and ND and Miami both make it.

Probably so. Miami should be punished for not qualifying for this game

I still don’t think the ESPN created and run playoff is going to risk the SEC canceling the ESPN aired SEC championship game by eliminating Bama.

I think the political/business move is keep Bama in and put Miami in. Had UVA won, I think ND would have stayed in over Miami.

All politics. Not that I agree with it. Committee wants ACC represented, so Miami gets in. It will come down to Bama and ND for final spot.

Duke winning will actually help Alabama.

Why? Because putting Miami in while the champion of their conference does not get in would be odd.

I don't agree with it but that's what the committee will use

No what would be odd is a P5 conference not getting any team in. And duke is not getting in because they are 7-5 and will be ranked below a g5 champ

I played this fwiw. We’ll see what happens. I’ve done pretty well historically on the playoff by thinking about it from a business perspective rather than a football perspective.

ND draws better than Miami, but the ACC is an ESPN exclusive network, so I think Miami might get the edge.

The SEC championship was the 5th highest rated broadcast of the CFB season last year, so I just don’t see a bunch of ADs and ESPN risking losing that game.

what has notre dame done to jump ahead of bama? beat an 8-3 USC ?

bama has better wins and stronger schedule. there is no justification to put notre dame ahead of them.
