In a Fox Sports reporters rankings for this week, he dropped ND two places from 11th to 13th and raised Miami's ranking 8 places from 18th to 11th. Here is what he said in the comments for each team. (I am not posting a link to this idiot's click bait.)
Notre Dame:
The Fighting Irish led 35-0 after one quarter of football. Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love rushed for 171 yards and three touchdowns on just eight carries. The Notre Dame offense ran for 324 yards on just 24 rushes — 13.7 yards per rush — with six touchdowns.
Normally, I’d say something offensive about Syracuse here, but I’m afraid the Orangemen won’t be able to defend themselves.
Miami:
Miami QB Carson Beck was elite against a piss-poor Hokies team that spent the week celebrating the hiring of James Franklin. Beck completed 27 of 32 passes for 320 yards and four touchdowns, including 12 completions to Miami’s best player, Malachi Toney, who finished with 146 yards and a score.
Miami is ranked where it is because it beat Notre Dame, and Notre Dame is ranked below Miami because it lost to the Canes. Same number of losses, similar schedules — one just won the head-to-head.
Someone tell the CFP selection committee. I’m not convinced they watched any games this weekend.

Sagarin has ND at #2, Massey at #6, Vegas #4.
If anyone thinks that Miami is better than ND right now, they're nuts.
That said, we have major flaws in short yardage vs a competent defense and kicking. If someone wanted to make that argument, I'd listen.

Take it for what it's worth....which probably isn't much.

Which is exactly what the committee is going to do as well as look at how the teams are
playing at the end of the season.
Whomever that is is just an asshat in the "just create buzz" sports media. Colin Cowherd would be proud.
