It’s pretty obvious the committee messed up picking the teams. Should have picked ND [NT] - sweetbobbyg - 4:08am 1/1/26 (18) [View All]
- ND/Miami should have been 7/8 followed by Bama/OK and the 2 shit schools - LanceManion - 2:45pm 1/1/26
  - Yep. And eliminate the good Ole Boys network. [NT] - DiscoRick - 4:21pm 1/1/26

- I watched this morning some ESPN talk show say committee made the right pick w/ Miami over ND. - ELP - 1:17pm 1/1/26
  - Losing to two unranked teams is valued highly by the committee. [NT] - DiscoRick - 4:27pm 1/1/26
  - Exactly I have been saying since this bs started that the narrative should have been ND/Alabama. - THEISMANCARR - 2:03pm 1/1/26
    - Oklahoma and Alabama are more questionable than Miami. Sec looks iffy in bowl season. - ndphysics - 2:25pm 1/1/26
      - That's why the entire conference makes the playoffs. Playing the odds. [NT] - DiscoRick - 4:26pm 1/1/26
- Ohio State was top 1-2 in country all year and you think they shouldnt have been selected? - WoodstockIrish - 12:28pm 1/1/26
  - Of course Ohio State should have been in. The argument is among Alabama, ND and Oklahoma. I think - THEISMANCARR - 2:04pm 1/1/26
    - ok, splain how the u jumped us when neither team played. - und67 - 4:14pm 1/1/26
  - Come on, man! ND lost at UM by a FG in their first game. - sweetbobbyg - 12:54pm 1/1/26
- Haven't the two teams picked ahead of them gone 3-0 so far? - irishboyd - 4:30am 1/1/26
  - Yep. No justification for the sham selection…. [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 6:51am 1/1/26
  - Alabama beat Oklahoma, a horrible team. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 6:27am 1/1/26
    - By this logic - irishboyd - 12:44pm 1/1/26
      - True, but they also lost badly to unranked Florida State & crappy Okla team - DiscoRick - 4:36pm 1/1/26

  - I don't think so Carr would have been given more leeway and that would have helped the running game. - THEISMANCARR - 2:08pm 1/1/26

- We already had our chance and lost to one of them. [NT] - humbaba - 6:20am 1/1/26
  - But that game really doesn’t count since it was the first game, [NT] - whatsamataU - 1:41pm 1/1/26
    - We played our conference Championship game 1st. [NT] - DiscoRick - 4:30pm 1/1/26
      - And the D sucked! In that game and T A&M and our playoff chances went up in Ash-es.. [NT] - whatsamataU - 6:02pm 1/1/26
- ND would have beaten either by multiple scores. [NT] - DiscoRick - 3:58am 1/1/26
  - I’m not so sure about that….Miami’s D team speed was off the chart tonight [NT] - NEPA Irish - 4:20am 1/1/26
    - OSU was not good this year. Miami barely beat ND with a zero experience QB and a bad defense. [NT] - DiscoRick - 4:35am 1/1/26
      - And then you have Louisville and SMU. And ND being vastly better at QB and defense now. [NT] - DiscoRick - 4:37am 1/1/26
        Is the Miami defense vastly better now? A simple Y/N [NT] - WoodstockIrish - 8:47pm 1/1/26
