Beat mediocre B12 BYU and this discussion never takes place.

It's not Heather's fault or ESPN or anyone else. It's 100% on MF, his staff, and his players. Now we have to conjure up all these scenarios to get ND into the CFP because MF and his staff didn't take care of business. IMHO, lose to Miami and that should be the end of CFP discussion. Aren't we tired of making up excuses after losses to OSU, OSU, Miami, A&M, BYU? Imagine OSU, USC, or Georgia curb stomping weak lesser opponents than falling short against against actual competition. This place would explode. And while on the subject, this Navy game needs to be over by halftime. No disrespect.
