You KNEW Miami beat ND thru the 1st 5 reveals then you suddenly drop us out of the field when all we did was win????   You were the ones who put us 9th to begin with!!! That’s just cruel. What a sham. SEC bias is real.

The College Football Playoff selection committee really screwed up this time.

The process has to work for the CFP to earn and keep our trust. This one didn’t. This one made a mockery of the whole sport.

Re: Notre Dame being called soft for not playing in a bowl game…

Reality is, it’s playoff or bust in college football for a program like ND. The Irish were told in every CFP rankings release prior to Sunday’s they were in. What needed to happen Saturday went their way. But now they’re out?

I wouldn’t want to play in an exhibition game sponsored by Pop-Tarts after that either.

Here’s how Notre Dame can exit their affiliate membership and completely destroy the ACC as we know it:

1. Notre Dame’s cleanest exit from the ACC deal: Sue for breach of anti disparagement clause over the 2025 CFP sabotage. Win = walk away penalty-free

2. Partial-member buyout: ND’s buyout is ~$50-100M today (way less than a full member’s $165+), but a successful breach lawsuit makes it $0 + possible $20-50M in damages from the ACC.

3. Hypothetical future: ND flips to a Big Ten partial deal in 2027
- 5 rotating B1G games/yr + fixed rivalry
- Keep full NBC money + $15M affiliate check
- Auto bowl ties & stronger CFP path. Big Ten gets massive ratings.

In the end, ACC loses its golden goose and FSU & Clemson leave shortly after. The ACC collapses.

Fox Sports betting analyst Todd Fuhrman didn’t hold back after the latest playoff reveal, blasting the committee for sidelining a team he believes ranks inside the nation’s top three by nearly every major metric. He highlighted Alabama’s month-long slide and questioned how the Tide were elevated while Notre Dame was pushed out of the field.

Fuhrman’s reaction adds to the rising pushback from analysts nationwide as frustration with the committee’s final decision continues to build.

Notre Dame To the Playoff Comittee

@LandonTengwall Thank you SEC refs

[LandonTengwall @LandonTengwall]

This missed holding call kept ND out of the playoffs

[Robert Griffin III @RGIII]

I don’t blame Notre Dame one bit for deciding not to play in a Bowl Game when they should have been playing for a chance to win the National Championship in the College Football Playoff.

[Dick Vitale @DickieV]

Yes ⁦@NDFootball⁩ left out of the playoffs is hard to comprehend. Can the committee logically explain how they could have ND in the Top 12 ahead of Miami for 5 weeks and then leave them out in the end, after Miami lost to 2 currently unranked teams. Where is the logic??

[Jack Soble @jacksoble56]

Marcus Freeman said on @BussinWTB that he has indeed seen this video, and that he would play it at yesterday’s team meeting.

“I’m gonna make sure that gets into our ‘wise men’ plays today,” Freeman said.
