Campaigning comes in all shapes and sizes, whether it’s a campaign for a player to win the Heisman Trophy or for a team to make the <a href="https://www.on3.com/category/college-football-playoff/news/">College Football Playoff</a>. Just ask the ACC.



The conference is taking things by the scruff of the neck this week in the lead-up to the final CFP rankings reveal on Sunday afternoon. The league’s best bet for a bid is simple: <a href="https://www.on3.com/sites/cavs-corner/">Virginia</a> beats <a href="https://www.on3.com/sites/devils-illustrated/">Duke</a> in the ACC Championship Game and gets in as one of the five highest-rated conference champs.



Of course, there’s another way the ACC can get a team in. <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/miami-hurricanes/">Miami</a>, currently ranked No. 12, sneaks in as an at-large selection.



A lot probably has to go right for that to happen, but one easy way to ensure it? Get Miami close enough in the rankings to <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/notre-dame-fighting-irish/">Notre Dame</a> (currently No. 10) for the head-to-head meeting earlier this year to start to weigh more heavily.



Miami, of course, won that meeting 27-24. And in an effort to remind everyone of that — perhaps College Football Playoff selection committee included — the ACC is taking drastic measures.



The ACC is going to re-air the Miami-Notre Dame game at least 13 times this week leading up to the conference championship games. As Pete Sampson <a href="https://x.com/PeteSampson_/status/1995671565154091016/photo/2">pointed out on Twitter</a>, the listings are essentially a marathon replay of the game. Check it out below.

ESPN’s panel of experts and analysts reconvened on Tuesday after the latest release of the College Football Playoff rankings. And they agreed there was <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/notre-dame-fighting-irish/news/heather-dinich-outlines-doomsday-scenario-for-notre-dame-in-college-football-playoff-rankings/">a potential doomsday scenario lying in wait for Notre Dame</a>. It would involve Miami jumping up ahead.



“Here’s the other really interesting thing and you talked about last year them saying that they’re not going to move teams around, right?” ESPN analyst Heather Dinich said. “But if <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/byu-cougars/">BYU</a> moves out (of No. 11), by default Miami is going to bump up a spot. If they bump up a spot and they’re next to Notre Dame, do they flip them then because of the head-to-head? That’s a very curious scenario.”



Of course, that would involve BYU losing to <a href="https://www.on3.com/sites/red-raider-sports/">Texas Tech</a> in the Big 12 Championship Game. Not a crazy outcome, but hardly a given, either.



Can Miami jump Notre Dame? We might just have to wait until Sunday to find out. In the meantime, you can catch a re-airing of Miami-Notre Dame, well, pretty much any time you want in the next week.

In the fallout from the College Football Playoff rankings being released Tuesday, there was plenty of discussion about Notre Dame and Miami.
