In thier defense, the committee is made up of human beings that can be swayed by public outcry.
One of the main reasons that I just wish we allowed computers to choose the 12 teams, because it would be most fair in my opinion.
It is becoming obvious to me that the Miami athletic department or booster clubs have gotten the word out that anyone with a
media presence needs to start stumping for Miami over ND.
They all have similar talking points, and just keep reinforcing the same thoughts.
They see the writing on the wall, and it becomes very hard for them to get into the dance if we're in it as well.
We shall see how the rankings look tonight with another common opponent NC State added into the fold.
Miami certainly did dominant them for four quarters more then our boys did.
Albeit, the end result was basically the same.
The main thing I find funny about the entire discussion is the Miami fanbase stating they want future matchups vs ND removed from the schedule. If beating ND doesn't mean anything to the committee, then what is the point is thier logic.
However, the only reason they're still in the at large discussion for a playoff spot is because of thier win vs ND.
It is an incredibly short sided, and dumb argument.
(Edit: I see another poster already made this point, sorry didn't read entire thread before posting)
The ACC isn't the Big Ten and SEC. For example, I think it did Michigan no favors scheduling @ Oklahoma this year in the current 12 team format.
ACC members need big out of conference opponents every year to help them build a resume to get an at large spot if they stumble during the regular season which almost every team does nowadays.
How they don't see that is moronic.
