Brady Quinn: "Utah is not a playoff team"

The question that really matters is how is their run game.

That doesn’t matter along with top 25 wins, SOS or other advanced analytics according to the committee chair.

The deciding factor according to his own words is how your offensive run game stacks up to other CFP caliber teams.

Utah clearly needs help. A bunch of SEC teams need to lose and probably lose convincingly. Even then, the ACC might sneak in Miami ahead of them.

Does ND?

Theres no consistency, no set methodology and no evidence the people involved have any idea what the hell they’re doing

I wish they would just get rid of the CFP committee and use the BCS formula to rank and seed the playoff teams.

We've done the SEC "eye test" thing for decades. At what point does Notre Dame not pass this "eye test"?

Apple to Oranges. SEC teams aren't "passing the eye test" by beating up scrubs, which is exactly what Notre Dame is doing.

I think ND is a good football team, but I don't really know that because they're 0-2 against other good football teams. At the end of the day I think they are one of the 12 best teams in the country, so I won't have much issue when they make the field. Having them seeded over Alabama with 4 top 25 wins and per the committees own rankings, the best win in the country @ Georgia, doesn't make any sense. Is Notre Dame 8-2 with Alabama's schedule? Maybe, but I have my doubts. On the flip side of that, there's a good chance that Bama is still 8-2 with Notre Dame's schedule with the same losses. Would Bama be ranked ahead of Notre Dame if the resume's were flipped? No chance

Is that a serious question?

ND overwhelmingly passes the "eye test." Its the resume everyone is hung up on. Almost every computer ranking out there actually has them in the top 5.
