What happened to Notre Dame was the culmination of corruption that has been going on for years, including with what happened to Florida State in 2023. It's time for the playoff committee to come to an end #GoIrish

ND had the 3rd best odds to win the national championship and isn’t in the field

[Jasmine Shells @BoldYou]

@JonasLGray @NDFootball Exactly! ND doesn’t play an FCS team, ranks top 20 in SOS almost every year, and played three ranked teams this season. The SEC/B1G top teams have harder schedules, sure, but ACC/Big 12 contenders play softer slates than ND every year 🫠

[Jonas Gray @JonasLGray]

I’m so sick of the @NDFootball vs Miami argument — let’s stay grounded in what’s actually true — not feelings, not conference politics, not just “but head-to-head.” Just straight facts.

Yes, Miami beat Notre Dame 27–24 in Week 1. Nobody is denying that. But the playoff isn’t about who looked good in August — it���s about who was better over 12 full games and who actually earned a playoff spot.

Now look at the entire résumé:

Notre Dame has 10 FBS wins.
Miami has 9 FBS wins and an FCS win.
Those are not the same.

Notre Dame’s two losses came to ranked, playoff-level teams (Miami and Texas A&M).
Miami’s two losses came to unranked conference opponents (Louisville and SMU).
Again — very different résumés.

Notre Dame has zero bad losses, two ranked wins, and played the stronger schedule based on total opponent FBS wins (ND: 75 | Miami: 69).
ND also won all 10 games by double digits — dominance from start to finish.

Here’s the part nobody can debate:

Every major poll and ranking system has Notre Dame ahead of Miami.

• CFP: ND 10 | Miami 12
• AP: ND 9 | Miami 12
• Coaches: ND 9 | Miami 12
• FPI: ND top 3
• SP+: ND top 5
• FEI: ND top 5
• Sagarin: ND top 5

There isn’t a single analytic system — human or computer — that ranks Miami above Notre Dame.

Miami finished third in the ACC and didn’t reach the title game.
Notre Dame finished with a top-10 national profile and top-5 efficiency numbers.

And here’s the key part — straight from the CFP committee chair:

Notre Dame and Miami were compared directly… and Notre Dame STILL came out ahead — even after head-to-head.

Why? Because the committee evaluates the entire season, not one Saturday in August.

Notre Dame checks every single playoff box. Miami doesn’t check half of them — and they do NOT deserve to be in over Notre Dame.

Notre Dame has:
• More FBS wins
• No bad losses
• Two ranked wins
• A stronger overall résumé
• Real statistical balance
• All double-digit victories
• Better opponents
• Top-10 placement in every human poll
• Top-5 numbers in every major efficiency system
• A résumé the committee already confirmed is stronger

Miami:
• Played an FCS team
• Has two unranked losses
• Has one ranked win
• Finished 3rd in the ACC
• Trails Notre Dame in every category that matters

And here is the truth no one can twist:

There is not a single factual category where Miami has a better playoff résumé than Notre Dame — not one.

Head-to-head matters, but only as one piece of the full puzzle. And when you zoom out, it’s obvious:

Notre Dame belongs in the CFP.
Miami does NOT deserve to be in over Notre Dame. Period. #GoIrish

Notre Dame was ranked No. 9 and Alabama was ranked No. 10 in Week 14.

Notre Dame won at (4-8) Stanford 49-20, Alabama won at (5-7) Auburn 27-20.

Alabama JUMPS Notre Dame, swapping spots at 9 and 10.

Fast forward to this week, Alabama gets SMASHED by UGA, and ND doesn’t play.

Alabama stays at No. 9 and Notre Dame falls another spot to No. 11, despite the four teams behind them losing/not playing.

I don’t care if you think Notre Dame should’ve missed the playoff all along, but the committee just contradicted everything they stood for the past month.

Disgraceful decision making.

[Rodger Sherman @rodger]

keep coming back to this:

Notre Dame's two losses were by a combined four points. Their most recent loss was on September 14th.

Alabama lost by 21, yesterday

@hypetribeng Made this man’s whole year 😂

[Iheanyi Ekechukwu @kwuchu]

Unfortunately, my little sister's cancer has returned and she's back in the hospital. The doctors have a treatment plan and she has a student insurance plan active until the end of the month, since she just graduated.

Even though her insurance is still active, Blue Cross Blue Shield refuses to start treatment until she has new insurance coverage, even though cancer is a very time sensitive disease for treatment and there are significant risks to her health and life if treatment is delayed. Does anybody have experience in dealing with insurance companies refusing to cover life-saving treatment?

@gerryfranco_ @Suhail True smh

[Jasmine Shells @BoldYou]

@timwangyc Most likely not legitimate 😂

[Jasmine Shells @BoldYou]

@gerryfranco_ @Suhail Yeah it was terrible. You think you’re meeting a great lead engineer from a trusted source. Turns out he was submitting his resume multiple investors’ talent match pool. Crazy thing was this investor’s head of recruiting matched us 😂

[Jasmine Shells @BoldYou]

@var_epsilon What’s wild is after we fired the guy, he still sent us pitch emails like this one… I couldn’t believe the audacity!

[Jasmine Shells @BoldYou]

@pritika_mehta Wild story: same thing happened to us. Was introduced to an engineer by an investor. He nailed the interview & we hired him. After, he couldn’t answer basic questions. One day I get an email from a whistleblower that he’s working at 9 other companies. We fired him immediately.
