Hoping for a Bama blowout loss seems far-fetched. I’d rather stay at 10 - I like that path better.

Are they setting ND up to be on the outside looking in dropping them to 10? [NT] - notredame678 - 12:11am 12/3/25 (37) [View All]
- Makes me wonder if this isn’t being done to piss off the conferences so they want expansion - LanceManion - 1:33am 12/3/25
- We need BYU to lose (preferably close) and AL to lose by double digits. [NT] - mtthawk1 - 12:45am 12/3/25
  - Why do we care what Alabama does? [NT] - Nigel Tufnel - 12:49am 12/3/25
    - Because if AL gets their asses kicked, it's harder to justify a 3 loss Bama in the playoffs. [NT] - mtthawk1 - 12:50am 12/3/25

      - More importantly, you can’t drop BYU if you don’t drop Bama. - NDNEIL - 12:54am 12/3/25
- It sure looks like it. If BYU wins, they will jump ND. - NDQuebec - 12:30am 12/3/25
  - If that is the case - McIrish - 12:35am 12/3/25
    - No clue, but if you go by that line of reasoning, why did Bama just jump us? - NDQuebec - 12:50am 12/3/25
      - Apparently, based on their impressive win in a rivalry game - McIrish - 12:58am 12/3/25
        Ok, but the committee did say tonight that two idle teams can move, did it not? I didn't listen yet. [NT] - NDQuebec - 1:23am 12/3/25

  - Why wouldn't TxT be out? They've literally beat no one outside the Big 12 [NT] - Chrisb - 12:46am 12/3/25
    - ^^^Teams they've beaten with winning records: BYU, Utah, Houston__________^^^ [NT] - Chrisb - 12:52am 12/3/25
  - ^^^This^^^ [NT] - McIrish - 12:27am 12/3/25
- Doesn't really matter - McIrish - 12:18am 12/3/25
  - I don't agree...I think they gamed it intentionally... - Chrisb - 12:38am 12/3/25
    - I guess we will see - McIrish - 12:44am 12/3/25
  - I disagree... - irishboyd - 12:23am 12/3/25
    - This is my line of thinking as well [NT] - NDQuebec - 1:25am 12/3/25
    - If Miami was ever going to pass ND, it would have had to happen this week [NT] - McIrish - 12:26am 12/3/25
      - Re: If Miami was ever going to pass ND, it would have had to happen this week - irishboyd - 12:31am 12/3/25
        Do you mean that a Virginia win could push the committe to keep ND above Miami? [NT] - NDQuebec - 1:27am 12/3/25
        Yes.. - irishboyd - 1:54am 12/3/25
        
        Great point about UVA. [NT] - mtthawk1 - 12:46am 12/3/25
        
        The explanation was horseshit - McIrish - 12:40am 12/3/25
        I didn't listen to the explanation... - irishboyd - 12:46am 12/3/25
  - If Alabama loses close to Georgia...then I don't think they drop below ND. - SanJoseCAFan - 12:21am 12/3/25
    - If they are as close at they purport it to be, then ND will jump them with a loss [NT] - McIrish - 12:24am 12/3/25
- Well...at #10 in the CFP rankings and BYU winning...that would seem to push ND out. [NT] - SanJoseCAFan - 12:15am 12/3/25
- Major surprise. now ND is banking solely on TTU to win. [NT] - NDQuebec - 12:14am 12/3/25
- Possibly. Honestly, I don't understand why Miami is not ahead of ND. [NT] - irish93 - 12:13am 12/3/25
  - Because Miami has shitty losses [NT] - McIrish - 12:20am 12/3/25
  - I think it was first game of season loss...and Miami went on to lose to 2 unranked teams since. [NT] - SanJoseCAFan - 12:18am 12/3/25
    - Based on various metrics ND and Miami are very close. Head to head has to matter [NT] - irish93 - 12:26am 12/3/25
