It is tough to think football is over and with my brothers about to start spring ball, I had to reminisce on my last year as a Quaker, here are the highlights from my last football season on the field. First team all-ivy, academic all-ivy. Check it out: https://t.co/ZwCJQWA8z1

Disgusting no-call on the last play of the game

First Florida State
Now Notre Dame

These referees can’t keep getting away with this

ESPN story from controversial ND/BYU ending in Provo, as the Big 12 admits mistake: “it was determined that time remained on the clock when the ball hit the ground and the play was incorrectly cleared by the replay officiating crew,"

Looks like Notre Dame should have had time for one final play…

[Tom Fornelli @TomFornelli]

According to FPI, Notre Dame's current SOS ranks 60th. That's ahead of the following Power 4 programs:

Miami
SMU
Nebraska
Oklahoma St
Syracuse
Texas Tech
Boston College
Washington
Minnesota
Arizona
Georgia Tech
Cal
West Virginia
Cincinnati
BYU
Baylor
Pitt
Kansas State
Virginia
Virginia Tech
Utah
Duke

Their schedules aren't embarrassments, however.

What the hell are you doing Tua

In the 2023, 2024 and 2025 seasons, only one conference championship game loser did not move down at least one spot in the College Football Playoff rankings.

Alabama this year.

[Stuckey @Stuckey2]

Alabama rising over the past 2 weeks after getting outplayed by Auburn and crushed by Georgia is insane

[Todd Fuhrman @ToddFuhrman]

The committee had no backbone

They left out a top 3 team by almost every metric/power rating and rewarded an Alabama team that has looked absolutely miserable for a month straight right now.

Well done CFB

[Exposing SEC Bias @overrated_sec]

Ohio St lost and fell.

BYU lost and fell.

Virginia lost and fell.

What happened when Alabama got dominated while racking up -3 rushing yards?

[Danny Kanell @dannykanell]

We’re all arguing about Miami, Alabama, Notre Dame and overlooking that TWO groups of 5 schools are occupying spots when they have zero business playing in it this year.

Tulane lost 45-10 to Ole Miss.

JMU only played ONE P4 school and lost by 14.

What a mess

[Bryan Driskell @CoachD178]

This is the most corrupt thing ever. How does EVERY conference championship team fall except Alabama? A team that went 2-2 in the final 4 games.

[Matt Leinart @MattLeinartQB]

Notre Dame and Miami should be in the playoff over Alabama. Debate settled !

[Geoff Schwartz @geoffschwartz]

I'd much rather watch Notre Dame v Oklahoma than Bama v Oklahoma again

[Nicole Auerbach @NicoleAuerbach]

This is the worst selection committee we've ever had.

Cannot believe Alabama didn't even drop one spot after the SEC title game blowout. Cannot believe they waited until the final reveal to flip Miami-ND. Could have done it at ANY point.

[Geoff Schwartz @geoffschwartz]

Wow. They had to put Miami in over ND because games count. But Bama over ND. Man...

[Pete Sampson @PeteSampson_]

Wow.

Notre Dame misses the College Football Playoff.

[Gump Cathcart @bubbagumpino]

Tua should’ve put this game away in the first half now we’re in a dogfight with the Saints

[Brad Crawford @BCrawford247]

Notre Dame 21, Syracuse 0.

Irish haven't yet run an offensive play.

Playoff lock.
