Been declining the entire 2nd half of season. Got in based on rep and $.

IU is a really good team but Bama simply doesn't belong.

ND deserved that spot. That is painfully obvious

They won a road playoff game. So yes they did.

This game is proof that a 12-16 team playoff is dumb.

There is too big of a gap between the #1 team & the 10th best team

Easily. Anyone who disagrees is an SEC homer.

ND ran for more yards the week of the SEC Championship than Bama did.

ND lost by 3 at Miami, doesn’t seem too bad now, does it?

Bama sucks. The SEC is good, but not the juggernaut it used to be. BEFORE this terrible performance today, ND was better than Bama by FPI, SP+, FEI, Sagarin, etc etc., and the gap will only widen now after today. Every advanced stat/metric says ND was significantly better.

Why? Because they ran the table the last ten weeks against a bunch of crap teams?

All this shows is there are too many playoff spots.

They ran the table against a mediocre schedule...winning each game by an AVERAGE of 30 points.

And that 3 point loss on the road to Miami looking more legit now.

Plus a 1 point loss to another playoff team.

Against a team from an inferior conference that can’t win in the postseason.

But there is apparently no gap between the #2 team and the #10 team

Who said Ohio State was the #2 team?

Great. They still didn’t beat anyone worth a shite. Bama had no business being there. Doesn’t change the fact that ND deserved a spot.

Once again there are too many teams the get in which results in an undeserving team like Bama getting in, so they just have to pick a few extra teams. Bama at least beat a team or two with a pulse so they got the nod over ND.


At least next year ND plays an even shittier schedule so they’ll have an easy path.
