I think duke winning forced committee to put in ACC team
I'd flip them but remember losing the CCG doesn't truly matter
That’s a shame!
the people in the room that voted had a rep from ACC and SEC. That is what did it. ND is not in a conference yet I expect them to come to the Big Ten.
The corrupt Good 'Ole Boys outdo themselves yet again - we were supposed to go to a 16-team Playoff this year, but were told it wasn't necessary. Why on earth you wouldn't just go to a 16-team Field rather than have corrupt, self-interested, biased "CFP Rankers" eliminate 4 deserving teams is just ridiculous. Only the laughable world of corrupt, biased CFB could not see this coming by going with a SILLY 12-team "selection criteria" rather than just go to a fully fielded 16-Team Field.
Notre Dame got hosed. Alabama has no business in this playoff
No team that missed the playoffs is “worthy”. Teams that missed might have an argument compared to other unworthy teams that made it but it’s not like some 15th best team deserves to have a shot at winning an MNC.
8 teams would be more than enough to make sure all “worthy” teams get in
Do you want to eliminate CCGs?
How is it fair to penalize them for plating an extra game?
Who did ND beat to earn a spot?
Alabama got blown out by Florida State. Alabama got blown out by Georgia. Notre Dame is better than Alabama by a mile.
Alabama moved ahead of Notre Dame last week after they slipped by Auburn and Notre Dame blew out Stanford. That made no sense. Now they stay ahead of them after getting their doors blown off? Makes no sense.
Bama also beat Georgia in Athens...does ND have a comparable win?
FSU is a top 30 power team so I agree it's an awful loss but the data doesn't support that
Ultimately CCGs need to be eliminated and the playoff needs to start sooner.
Head-To-Head results didn't seem to matter when Ohio State got in the playoff ahead of Penn State years back. Which was even more amazing since Penn State was the conference champion. But I guess head-to-head matters now?
They just explained that--H2H is only relevant when considered comparable
Ohio State was significantly ahead of us. We had 2 bad losses. They lost to a top 5 team on what the experts saw as a fluke
We should have been in over Washington but Ohio State vs Penn State was never discussed or debated
See Ohio State being #2--they don't care about conference titles as much as resume--never have
Bama is schizo - they have a lot more impressive wins than Notre Dame and Miami (FL) but also some worse looking losses. That being said, I think there’s an argument for all of them to some degree so any decision had done would have right and wrong points
I was wondering if they might include both Bama and BYU to really drive home the “you won’t be penalized by losing a CCG” point

When ND got the championship in 73 we were 5th, and didn't get a mention, that's the way it goes.
That's why polls determining the champ was always a mistake--we've need a large playoffs for decades
But UGA got a nice draw - Tulane or a Kiffen-less Ole Miss
I think they let Miami in because they didn't want to ACC to get shut out. If UVA would have won, then I'd expect Notre Dame and Miami to get in. But we're headed for a 16 team playoff, no CCG. Notre Dame getting shut out gets that done. Alabama getting in after that CCG performance lets everyone know that the CCGs are mostly irrelevant.
ND will soon say,"OK,we will join a conference if that is what it takes, as long as it is not the BIG10 or the SEC. We will join the little sister conference, the ACC. We already know how to get to these places since we play most of them anyway along with army and navy. " That should it!!!
In the last two weeks, Alabama squeaked by a bad Auburn team, and got blown out by Georgia. In that same time, Notre Dame played one game and blew out Stanford. Those results ended with Alabama moving ahead of Notre Dame
