The committee flipping Notre Dame and Miami without anything changing between those two teams last week is one of the greatest shams in the history of the playoff. What a total joke.
I think that Miami should have been over Notre Dame, but then they should have been last week
So folks at @espn are upset ND isn’t playing in a bowl game after weeks of folks politicking against the lack of conference affiliation, using them as a pawn for their CFB playoff selection show, having the ACC network play the UM/ND game on repeat for 48 hours during Conf Champ week BUT now it’s a bad look they don’t want to serve ESPN’s best interest by playing in an exhibition bowl game? Got it.

Huge fan of the Xavier Watts pick by the Falcons.
A true ballhawk with 13 interceptions over the past two seasons (most in the FBS).
Consistently in the right place at the right team and elite football instincts.
The warm chocolate chip skillet cookie is so elite i can’t even stand it. I’ve long maintained that the fact this dessert isn’t on more menus is one of the great crimes against humanity.
Notre Dame is finalizing a deal to hire Detroit Lions Director of Scouting Advancement Mike Martin as the school’s new general manager, per source. Martin was part of Detroit’s initial front office staff that helped rebuild the Lions’ roster. Now Notre Dame HC Marcus Freeman is pulling Martin away from Detroit to bring an NFL model to South Bend.
“I want to be in an environment where I have the resources to win a national championship,” Brian Kelly said in April 2022 after leaving Notre Dame for LSU.
Notre Dame will play for a national championship in 11 days. LSU has not made the CFP since Kelly took over.
