[FrankieV UHND ☘️ @FrankieV_UHND]

Notre Dame was 6-2 and ranked #10 in the first CFP rankings. From that point on, they won four games by an average of 30 points, going 4-0 in the process, and the end result was going down in the rankings.

[The 4 Horsemen Podcast @HorsemenPod]

It took:

- Lies by the Committee and inexplicable inconsistencies in order to manufacture Alabama a playoff spot
- Obvious conflict of interest with the CFP and ESPN (SEC)
- 2 United States Governors
- The ACC Network
- Just about every ESPN affiliated reporter and one On3 guy’s hyperfixated obsession.
- Asinine ACC tiebreaker rules
- A blown holding call by SEC refs on a game winning TD

In order to keep Notre Dame out of a playoff spot.

It’s us against the world and there will be violence next season.

[Ara Parseghian @CoachParseghian]

“Join a conference!”

- 7 of the 12 CFP teams did not win their conference.

- Of those 7 teams, 5 did not even play in their conference’s championship game.

Joining a conference would not have done any good. Today’s decision was done simply to screw Notre Dame.

[Chief @BarstoolChief]

They have more modern era playoff wins than anyone besides Ohio state

[Mike Monaco @MikeMonaco_]

I went to Notre Dame.

I thought Miami should’ve been ahead of Notre Dame the whole time. Head to head has to matter, IMO.

BUT: To say Notre Dame is a better team every single week, then to flip them with Miami when neither team played is not only illogical, but nonsensical.

[Muffet McGraw @MuffetMcGraw]

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.

[College Football Report @CFBReport]

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.

[Jack Sacco @JackSacco]

SEVEN DAYS AGO
9. Notre Dame
10. Alabama
11. Miami

[Neither ND nor Miami play. Alabama plays and gets blown out]

TODAY
9. Alabama
10. Miami
11. Notre Dame

It was never about ND vs Miami. It was ND and Miami vs espn and the SEC.

[marcus @DrPepper21MD]

in the old BCS, that would’ve been a season ending miss

in the old BCS, TAMU wouldve just suffered the most heartbreaking loss in program history.

12 team playoff makes generational games meaningless.

CFB’s biggest problem isn’t NIL, the portal, or jimmy sexton. it’s expansion

[Robert Griffin III @RGIII]

The way the College Football season shaped up, the CFP Committee had an opportunity to do the most right thing with the smallest backlash.

Alabama and BYU getting blown out in their conference championship games opened the door to put both Notre Dame and Miami in.

Instead they dropped the ball and punished BYU for losing, didn’t punish Alabama for losing and then flipped Notre Dame and Miami despite neither of them playing a game.

None of it makes sense.

They did the thing that would give them the most backlash just to have 5 SEC teams in the playoff.

That makes everyone question the integrity of the process and rightfully so.

[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?

[Will Compton @_willcompton]

It’s absolutely INSANE hearing the committee break down BYU’s performance in their Championship game —and then go in FULL PROTECTION mode for Alabama and the performance in their Championship game

Just say out loud “we care more about the SEC than the Big 12”

That wouldn’t sound fair but it’s 100% the reality

[Chris Vannini @ChrisVannini]

The committee moved BYU down for a championship game blowout loss, setting up the ND-Miami comparison.

The committee also did NOT move Alabama down for a championship game blowout loss.

[Skip Foster @skipfoster]

When you hear paid shills talk about how a team shouldn’t be penalized for LOSING a conference title game remember they argued for penalizing a 2023 FSU team that WON its conference championship game.

[Shehan Jeyarajah @ShehanJeyarajah]

Here's the other ridiculous part: The committee moved BYU down for getting crushed in a title game to set this up... after not punishing Alabama at all for getting crushed in a title game.

This is the worst committee we've had in history. They should be embarrassed.

[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

[Warren Sharp @SharpFootball]

most hilarious game winning TD in NFL history

[Jacksonville Jaguars @Jaguars]

Just like we drew it up! 🤌

[NFL Fashion Advice @fashion_nfl]

Absolutely preposterous.

70-YARD FIELD GOAL.

One of the reasons I'm not a crypto bro is this sort of nihilism

The message here seems to be sure our society is crumbling but you, personally, could get out of the crab bucket by gambling on speculative digital assets

Does anyone think this is a positive sum game being played
