The big question is...
if MIami wins out decisively and the ACC title game, will they be slotted ahead of ND and possibly bump the Irish out of the playoffs? That could happen if the Irish play a sloppy game in the next three. MIami has talent but do not seem to pull together when the chips are down with the determination to win like we are seeing from the Hoosiers. That can all change in a heartbeat....or not. For sure, an interesting month of football is in store.
Coach has tried to make Beck the "Hero" in 3 games, if Shuler plays the ball it backfires in ALL 3

OR, if Schuler LIGHTS up the WR gets a flagrant, kicked out they get a 1st down, score, and all of
you non-athletes state, "Schuler fucked up, that ball was uncatchable, he should have let it fly over everyone"...
you can not have your cake and still eat it...
CFP Representative on last night partially answered this.
Of Course ESPN asked this about Miami and his response (paraphrased) was head to head is important but others factors are taken into account. The margin of loss, when it occurred, overall SOS and he stated ND’s defense is playing much stronger now then in the beginning of the year. Whether this criteria remains consistent we will see.
Give UM a few more weeks to lose a few more

Tough debate. U know head to head should count but their 2nd loss is to a not very good team
And it is almost 2.5 months since we played. But in the nfl head to head is tie breaker.
Head to head didn’t matter in 1993. I’m not going to apologize

Re: Tough debate. U know head to head should count but their 2nd loss is to a not very good team
head to head is a viable tie-breaker for straight record in the NFL (and within a conference) where there is low variability in strength of schedule. Where the variability is much higher, head to head shouldn't overcome strength of schedule (FPI-SOS 9 places), strength of record (FPI-SOR 3 places) , FPI (8 places) and resume (colley 7 places).
While I agree it’s hard to argue we beat you so that breaks a tie
We would be very upset if we beat someone with same record and they got in before us regardless of what the analytics said

Yep. Anytime someone picks teams there will be issues.
At least in the nfl the rules are clear and no voting

Re: The question to me is should they have been? The Big 12 nearly always proves they don't belong
...once they match-up with an ACC, SEC or Big 10 team.
They deserve it more than most of the others.
