And how close Bama and ND have been each week. Miami won't have that benefit next week and it would set a bad precedent to have one team jump another when neither of them played.

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
      - More importantly, you can’t drop BYU if you don’t drop Bama. - NDNEIL - 7:54pm 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

        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

  - 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

- 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

        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
