John Harbaugh protected Lamar Jackson and masked many of his inefficiencies by designing an offense built entirely around Lamar’s strengths. The coaching staff simplified the game plan, limited exposure, and put Lamar in the best possible position to succeed.

Lamar’s inability to stop choking and turning the ball over in the playoffs was always the weakest link on the Ravens—not the head coach. When the lights were brightest, execution consistently broke down at the quarterback position.

Harbaugh won a Super Bowl without Lamar Jackson. He never won one with him.

@art_stapleton There’s a 0% chance he leaves Notre Dame for the Giants. He has a young family grounded in faith and isn’t uprooting them for New York. Not everyone chases money. Look elsewhere.

Notre Dame’s independence is one of the last truly unique things about college football compared to the NFL.

1. The Big 10 and SEC already basically resemble the AFC/NFC. Every year the champion is likely to come from one of these two conferences.
2. Players are getting paid.
3. Transfer portal with no limitations is basically free agency.
4. General managers and other front office type staffers make college team structure much more similar to the structure of NFL teams.

The soul of the sport is dying. While the SEC and Big 10 gut the sport we love, you have one big brand standing up to it all in Notre Dame.

Yet, all people do is complain and whine about Notre Dame’s independence. It is truly bizarre.

If you hate Notre Dame being independent, you hate college football. Go root for your local NFL team instead!

@Jeff_Shull @RGIII @OuttaPocketRG3 @NotreDame @NDFootball Quick search and you would find this statement to be true. 👍

[Drego @DregoAlpha]

@Jeff_Shull @RGIII @OuttaPocketRG3 @NotreDame @NDFootball No, I’m a fan and applaud it.

[Drego @DregoAlpha]

@RGIII @OuttaPocketRG3 @NotreDame @NDFootball Sweet, I’d reach out to Vanderbilt and see if they’d want to play a game. Maybe NBC could host it. We could kick off at the same time as Texas A&M and Miami.

@TMatich So if the logic is that teams shouldn’t be punished for losing a conference championship, then someone needs to explain this:

How does Miami Hurricanes leapfrog both BYU Cougars and Notre Dame Fighting Irish during a week when Miami didn’t even play a game?

@SigmaCane1914 @AverageWIPFan @Brett_McMurphy The head to head Notre Dame and Miami argument is brain dead. If all three teams share common opponents, finish with the same record and sit right next to each other in the rankings, who do you put in when this happens?

Team A beats Team B
Team B beats Team C
Team C beats Team A

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
