Dowd and Bevaqua are both on the CFP oversight committees - let's see what influence they have. [LINK] - LanceManion - 6:06am 12/3/25 (16) [View All]
- The solution is join the Big 12, beat everyone by 70 every game. Basically play an Ohio St. schedule - DiscoRick - 7:29am 12/3/25
  - The ACC is a far better fit demographically and we're already there in most sports. - Curly1918 - 8:57am 12/3/25
  - Don't necessarily disagree with this, BUT look at Big 12 academic schools rank - dreadful. - LanceManion - 7:50am 12/3/25
    - I say it more to prove the point that they shouldn't even be a consideration in the process. - DiscoRick - 7:53am 12/3/25
      - Agree. If the schools weren't populated by morons, I actually think the Big 12 is a better fit - LanceManion - 7:58am 12/3/25
        Yeah, that's true. The Big 10 anymore would accomplish the goal too. - DiscoRick - 8:01am 12/3/25
        ... - DiscoRick - 8:04am 12/3/25
- as long as it’s subjective and there is weight given to human evaluation in any form, there are - WestCoastIrishFan - 7:01am 12/3/25
  - Of course, but that's where the guys in charge of governance need to hit on "integrity" - - LanceManion - 7:06am 12/3/25
    - You fix this just like government, make the deliberations public. [NT] - DiscoRick - 7:36am 12/3/25
      - Second choice to an objective standard, but still better than what we have now. - LanceManion - 7:46am 12/3/25
        Sure smells like Tammany Hall. [NT] - DiscoRick - 7:52am 12/3/25
    - Do you really think that's what they did? Or did they produce the result they want and justify it? [NT] - DiscoRick - 7:32am 12/3/25
      - Of course that's what they did. But the story needs to hold up. [NT] - LanceManion - 7:42am 12/3/25
        Yep, it's like saying Ohio St. Is #1 because they beat good Texas, UM, and Illinois teams. [NT] - DiscoRick - 7:49am 12/3/25
        Yep. Which is the argument for joining a shit conference until this all gets consolidated in 10 yrs. [NT] - LanceManion - 7:53am 12/3/25

Which part of this is compelling? - McIrish - 11:48pm 12/2/25 (9) [View All]
- SEC AD as Committee Chair... [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 10:37am 12/3/25
- Interpreted as what B.S. can we come up with to justify guaranteeing Bama a spot. [NT] - DiscoRick - 7:41am 12/3/25
- That rationalization makes zero sense - MarkHarman - 7:28am 12/3/25
- It's neither compelling nor persuasive. The Committee makes FIFA look competent and ethical. - LanceManion - 5:49am 12/3/25
- None of it... - irishboyd - 12:19am 12/3/25
- Indeed. They are now clearly sculpting a desired result rather than using metrics. Let’s hope that - BaronVonZemo - 12:11am 12/3/25
- This is an actual quote? [NT] - lacan - 11:55pm 12/2/25

- TT can and will get a bye if UGA loses - NDNEIL - 10:14pm 12/2/25

If Texas tech wins were in, if they were gonna move Miami ahead of us it would of been done tonight [NT] - DonMiller - 7:56pm 12/2/25 (8) [View All]
- When BYU loses , then they drop. Then Miami is right behind ND. So you think we don't get jumped ? [NT] - OklahomaIrishman - 9:27pm 12/2/25
  - I think ND is out. Miami will get in if ND & Miami are side by side - billybaroo - 10:43pm 12/2/25
    - If the game was played at ND, I think Miami would be ahead of ND - MarkHarman - 11:35pm 12/2/25
    - I don't understand this logic - McIrish - 11:01pm 12/2/25
- That would mean ND is just in and Miami just out. That would really not sit well in the eyes of many [NT] - NDQuebec - 9:06pm 12/2/25
- I think we need Georgia to win the SEC championship also - NDWisconsin - 8:16pm 12/2/25
  - I think Bama is in ahead of us regardless unless Bama completely implodes [NT] - LanceManion - 8:21pm 12/2/25

Bama over us this week makes zero sense: they barely beat a 5-7, we smashed a 4-8, both on the road - Chrisb - 7:30pm 12/2/25 (15) [View All]
- My read is they are jockeying 1) to cover for the MIA fiasco but more importantly 2) For the road to - oldirish - 10:13am 12/3/25
- A bigger issue for me is Oklahoma. What is it doing at #8. It has no offense. It's 2012 ND - lacan - 9:23pm 12/2/25
- the WHOLE thing is about TV ratings...ND will be in...Hopefully, we get to SMASH A&M or Miami week#1 [NT] - KWIRISH - 9:18pm 12/2/25
- I think they are saying Bama is in and we’re on the bubble. - LanceManion - 8:15pm 12/2/25
  - Which is BS...if Bama loses they're no more worthy than last year - Chrisb - 8:21pm 12/2/25
    - Yeah, this is a screw job no doubt, BUT I’d rather have the 10 seeding than the 9. - LanceManion - 8:23pm 12/2/25
      - I'd rather be 9 with a chance at 8 and a home game, than 10 with chance of getting bumped out - Chrisb - 9:13pm 12/2/25
- Because the SEC is awesome!!! - AlbanyIRISH - 8:06pm 12/2/25
- The lower end of the bracket seems much tougher than the upper bracket as it currently stands. If it - jray - 7:46pm 12/2/25
- I'd rather be anywhere rather than 8 or 9 - D2 - 7:43pm 12/2/25
- My theory: CFP is shifting from week-by-week results to a "whole season" view, which favors Bama and - jrdjr84 - 7:36pm 12/2/25
  - How would "whole season" view change from last week when the only think that changed was last game? [NT] - Chrisb - 7:40pm 12/2/25
    - It's the difference between adjusting teams up or down based on last appearance, which is what - jrdjr84 - 8:00pm 12/2/25
- And the FSU loss looks even worse. [NT] - irishboyd - 7:36pm 12/2/25

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
      - 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

    - 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
