The inclusion of those two schools should have people more up in arms than Alabama. They robbed two legitimately worthy teams (whether they be Notre Dame, BYU, or Vanderbilt) from getting into the CFP.


Can you explain to me how did those 2 teams ROBBED 2 legitimately worthy teams from getting into the playoffs when they played by the RULES. You can't change the damn rules in the middle of the game. Now you can expect change to happen because of Tulane and James Madison.

Honestly, it doesn't matter.

We're talking about teams on the bubble. There were two spots and we had to select from Miami, Bama and ND.

I really don't think it matters who gets selected, all of those teams could have just won one more game to make sure they got in. They didn't. So whoever gets chosen for the bubble slots is fine... same as with the basketball tournament.

I'm fine with Bama and Miami.

Would have been fine with ND and Bama.
Would have been fine with ND and Miami too.



All of this. Although I would lump in Oklahoma and Vanderbilt with Notre Dame, Alabama, and Miami.

We're talking about who deserves a shot for a national championship, not a Citrus Bowl bid.

Say what you want, but there's no data that would make anyone think Notre Dame will get their **** kicked in in the playoff.
Let’s start with the fact they couldn’t beat the 2 teams they played who are in the playoff. That seems like a much better data point than beating up some 2 win teams.

You’re half right. Georgia definitely looks like they’re better.

We did give you a lot of help though.

"Notre Dame is more qualified"

Lets look at their P4 wins: combined these opponents are 37-59. Besides USC, their best wins are Boise and Navy.

Bama's wins without G5 teams are 57-39. And frick Whitlock for making me defend Bama.

Still get the clicks though. It wouldn’t be posted here for more clicks if he didn’t do the “contrarian shtick”.

Losing is not getting your shart pushed in.

We didn't push Ga Tech's shart on Black Friday.

We pushed Bama's shart in last Saturday.

There's a difference. What Notre Dame has shown is that they would likely play a good game even if they lose.

Just as Georgia did…rivalry game on the road, still a big win.

Beat Vandy, Tennessee, and Mizzou, where are those at on your list?

Bama shouldn’t be in the playoffs. They got spanked by Georgia and they haven’t looked good in weeks.

They have a good resume and finished 1st in SEC heading into the championship game. No reason to keep giving braindead takes.

fricking cuck. Ole Miss is a bottom dweller, A&M has always been solidly mid pack.

The rules should have never been there to begin with. G5 teams do not belong anywhere near the playoff.
