Note: this assumes the article summarized the announcers' comments correctly and that you are summarizing the article correctly.
Previous commentators' statement: Teams A, B and C are more deserving than Notre Dame.
Most recent commentators' statement: It's a shame that teams D and E are in the playoff instead of Notre Dame because Notre Dame had a legit shot at the title.
You accuse them of going rogue, covering their tracks, etc. However, the statements are mutually exclusive and can both be true at the same time. The only reason to get upset about them, and what 2 random announcers without any power whatsoever say at all, is because you're still angry and being an emotional bitch.
That's fine, but all ND fans still acting like emotional bitches just make ND look bad at this point.
