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.

Our thoughts are with the families, friends & teammates of Meghan Beeler & Colleen Hipp and all those impacted by the @NDSwimDive bus crash that happened 30 years ago today. 🙏☘️
Getting some texts about Marcus Freeman’s age (35) as a potential concern for #NotreDame.
Dabo Swinney was 39 when promoted Clemson.
Lincoln Riley was 33 when promoted at Oklahoma.
Ryan Day was 39 when promoted at Ohio State.
If Freeman is the right guy, age won’t matter.
Notre Dame is going to be No. 5 in the CFP Poll at the start of conference championship weekend.
And one of the teams ahead of Notre Dame is guaranteed to lose that day.
That’s going to be quite a Saturday.
This week’s side-by-side comparison of the just-released #CFBPlayoff rankings and our simulated #BCS -- where very little changed from the committee near the top, leaving the two ranking systems unaligned on top-4s, but agreed on top-2s:
Team A: 9-1, lost to top-10 team, 6-1 vs FPI top 50, No. 3 strength of record
Team B: 9-1, lost to top-20 team, 6-1 vs FPI top 50, No. 2 strength of record

Team A is Notre Dame

Every national media member who wants Cincinnati in the top 4 has to talk about how good Notre Dame is.
A lot of people are going to be in a pickle because of this, and it pleases me.
