The writing was on the wall and most of you refused to see it. Alabama was moved ahead of ND just
for this outcome. It was wildly assumed UGA would beat Alabama in SEC matchup as was assumed in the TT conference championship with BYU - Vegas had given good odds on Bama and UM to make the playoffs and distant odds for ND even before the Tide were moved up. How did the Vegas odds makers know this? Think about it.
The CFP had told Vegas their plan. This wasn’t a CFP committee that was interested in adjudicating a thoughtful playoffs rather to get Alabama back into the playoffs and an extra SEC team in creating greater revenue for the conference. The SEC execs have been fuming since Bama was neglected from last year’s run. And a side sinister note, this forces that stupid spin to have more weight that ND should join a conference, like everyone else making it ND’s fault they didn’t get in.
I posted similar and I get kwirish smart ass comment.
Y’all need to wake up.

ND was -1200 last night..
ND was -3500 right before the pairings were announced.
And Alabama and Miami?

Re: And Alabama and Miami?
Alabama was - 310 and Miami was +186. At -3500, ND is perceived as a virtual lock. Last night it was +710 to not make it. Vegas doesn't intend on giving out free money and having ND a YES at -3500, up from -1200 means that no one was betting on the no, or it would have dropped. The plus money was probably above +1000, so your theory sucks.
Check last week’s odds

Who gives a damn about last week's odds?
You are just spinning now because it is clear you were talking out your ass, got exposed, and now is trying to deflect.
It is clear you don't know shit about gambling, so stick to bad political takes.
Thanks, I’ll remember that as your surrender.

It wasn't that we refused it was just that we hoped Alabama would go back behind us. After the way
they stunk their last four games and I mean doubly stunk yesterday I was hopeful they would go behind us. We haven't been blown out yet under Marcus. We lost a couple we shouldn't have but we did not get blown out and in fact have won against some quality opponents. Marcus has done a good job but he should never have had the kid gloves on CJ Carr in the first game. By doing that he took away both our passing and running game.
Um! That’s called refusing to see.

The first iteration had us not being able to get a first round bye
We got that changed but I think the conference schools didn’t like that. I agree something is not adding up and there a weaving narrative to justify it.
Don’t over think it. Even SEC homers pointed this out almost 2weeks ago.
