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

  - 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

    - 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
- Agreed. ND would have won that game too. That first round bye can be a killer. [NT] - ELP - 4:25am 1/1/26
