So their choice is, drop both or leave them both the same. Either choice is good for us.

Are they setting ND up to be on the outside looking in dropping them to 10? [NT] - notredame678 - 7:11pm 12/2/25 (37) [View All]
- Makes me wonder if this isn’t being done to piss off the conferences so they want expansion - LanceManion - 8:33pm 12/2/25
- We need BYU to lose (preferably close) and AL to lose by double digits. [NT] - mtthawk1 - 7:45pm 12/2/25
  - Why do we care what Alabama does? [NT] - Nigel Tufnel - 7:49pm 12/2/25
    - Because if AL gets their asses kicked, it's harder to justify a 3 loss Bama in the playoffs. [NT] - mtthawk1 - 7:50pm 12/2/25
      - I don’t mind being #10. We just need TT to take care of business. - Nigel Tufnel - 8:03pm 12/2/25
        Me too. - AlbanyIRISH - 8:09pm 12/2/25

- It sure looks like it. If BYU wins, they will jump ND. - NDQuebec - 7:30pm 12/2/25
  - If that is the case - McIrish - 7:35pm 12/2/25
    - No clue, but if you go by that line of reasoning, why did Bama just jump us? - NDQuebec - 7:50pm 12/2/25
      - Apparently, based on their impressive win in a rivalry game - McIrish - 7:58pm 12/2/25
        Ok, but the committee did say tonight that two idle teams can move, did it not? I didn't listen yet. [NT] - NDQuebec - 8:23pm 12/2/25
- Setting us up at least for a rematch with A&M in College Station [NT] - jrdjr84 - 7:21pm 12/2/25

  - Why wouldn't TxT be out? They've literally beat no one outside the Big 12 [NT] - Chrisb - 7:46pm 12/2/25
    - ^^^Teams they've beaten with winning records: BYU, Utah, Houston__________^^^ [NT] - Chrisb - 7:52pm 12/2/25
  - ^^^This^^^ [NT] - McIrish - 7:27pm 12/2/25
- Doesn't really matter - McIrish - 7:18pm 12/2/25
  - I don't agree...I think they gamed it intentionally... - Chrisb - 7:38pm 12/2/25
    - I guess we will see - McIrish - 7:44pm 12/2/25
  - I disagree... - irishboyd - 7:23pm 12/2/25
    - This is my line of thinking as well [NT] - NDQuebec - 8:25pm 12/2/25
    - If Miami was ever going to pass ND, it would have had to happen this week [NT] - McIrish - 7:26pm 12/2/25
      - Re: If Miami was ever going to pass ND, it would have had to happen this week - irishboyd - 7:31pm 12/2/25
        Do you mean that a Virginia win could push the committe to keep ND above Miami? [NT] - NDQuebec - 8:27pm 12/2/25
        Yes.. - irishboyd - 8:54pm 12/2/25
        
        Great point about UVA. [NT] - mtthawk1 - 7:46pm 12/2/25
        
        The explanation was horseshit - McIrish - 7:40pm 12/2/25
        I didn't listen to the explanation... - irishboyd - 7:46pm 12/2/25
  - If Alabama loses close to Georgia...then I don't think they drop below ND. - SanJoseCAFan - 7:21pm 12/2/25
    - If they are as close at they purport it to be, then ND will jump them with a loss [NT] - McIrish - 7:24pm 12/2/25
- Well...at #10 in the CFP rankings and BYU winning...that would seem to push ND out. [NT] - SanJoseCAFan - 7:15pm 12/2/25
- Major surprise. now ND is banking solely on TTU to win. [NT] - NDQuebec - 7:14pm 12/2/25
- Possibly. Honestly, I don't understand why Miami is not ahead of ND. [NT] - irish93 - 7:13pm 12/2/25
  - Because Miami has shitty losses [NT] - McIrish - 7:20pm 12/2/25
  - I think it was first game of season loss...and Miami went on to lose to 2 unranked teams since. [NT] - SanJoseCAFan - 7:18pm 12/2/25
    - Based on various metrics ND and Miami are very close. Head to head has to matter [NT] - irish93 - 7:26pm 12/2/25
