Just my opinion from watching the last 6-8 weeks of the season:
It was obvious Miami had national title level of potential.
It was obvious Notre Dame had national title level of potential.
It was obvious Alabama did not have national title level of potential.
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
