We got left out, because we lost a resume contest against a team that had a H2H metric against us.
They realized they couldn’t get in if we got in, and made it thier plan over the final month of the season to find any avenue they could to have a better resume then us.

They ran up the score against Stanford and Pitt in garbage time, then spent a whole week showing that they fared better (by score) against common opponents against us.

We can agree to disagree, but I watched Miami do it. Haha

You’re not jaded enough if you think this decision was made based of margin of victory against Pitt and some tweets.

This was a multi million dollar decision by high level executives around the country. Nobody gives a fuck Beck scored an extra touchdown against Pitt.

It’s one of the criteria for how they decide the rankings. It’s on their website.
Miami having a better scoring margin against common opponents was not good for us.

We can agree to disagree on how much it mattered, but it was a metric we could have done better on.

dude, that would not have made any difference. The committee decided that Alabama deserved to be in and we did not
in the end there was NOTHING we could have done about that
in hindsight the fix was in the minute that tool talked about Gutsy Alabama on that fourth down against 5-6 auburn
it was already a done deal from that point on. None of the games afterwards changed that

Then you have to agree BYU, Miami and tOSU shouldn't have moved either. It doesn't matter if it's a 3 point loss or a 30 point loss, no penalty, only upside. Do you think Bama should be punished for producing -3 rushing yards? Adding salt to our wounds, we had the best backfield in CFB and were all set to return our best OL who was present for our 300 yard gashing of USC.

Tell me how it makes sense that the committee put Bama in, please. Did you think they deserved to jump ND after their gritty win against Auburn and their valiant rushing effort? Do you think they have a chanced to win a title? Alabama lost to FSU by 14 when ND was losing to Miami by 3.

FSU finished 13th in the ACC, going 2-6 in conference.
ND lost to playoff Miami by 3 on the road.
ND lost to playoff TAMU by 1 with a blown call at home.

Since then, which teams have done more and improved? NDs last loss was in September to TAMU by 1 point. Since then 10 wins.

Bama's last loss was by 21 yesterday.
Before that it was a couple weeks prior to Oklahoma.

Did you notice that I AGREED with the idea that Bama should've been out and ND in? I just said that I understood the reason it didn't happen, not that I agreed with it.

I'll mainly be rooting for Miami to get violated and then the SEC teams to get violated. Apart from that I have not much interest.
I'll go for Tex Tech. But predict OSU.
Edit: I'll also root for JMU and Tulane to get completely humiliated and those games to be over by quarter time so the ratings are almost zero.

The CCg being an important 13th data point was a real thing last year but this year it isn’t anymore.

Somehow SEC got half the top 10 with four more teams knocking at the door.

Funny how Texas dropped all the way to 22 and two weeks later are at 13?

Bama gets credit for 4 ranked wins? Who was ranked? SEC teams.

Funny how arbitrary (coincidental) all this is.

California kid who fell in love with Carl Yastrzemski and never left the Sox even in the down years. I locked everyone out of my dorm in '85 because I was sick of the people in my face after the Buckner play. BTW....I still blame Bob Stanley more!

As a Yankees fan, a real Sox fan would know the Buckner play was '86... 😉

Brother, they used a gutsy 4th down call as a determining factor in Bama jumping ND and then told everyone about it. The committee did what they wanted to

What’s most frustrating to me is the committee decided LAST week that Alabama was getting in. Basically the conference title game didn’t matter. They had -3 rushing yards. Played an FCS opponent. Got crushed by fsu. Didn’t matter. That is absolute bs. I am fine with Miami being ahead of us

I’ll entertain the criteria post @CTIDANDREW

- Why didn’t the consider common opponents in Alabama versus Miami (FSU)?

- Why didn’t they consider the numerous coaching absences in any rankings? Like 1 loss A&M versus Ole Miss?

- Why didn’t address a single injury in any of the rankings?

- Why didn’t they address BYUs overwhelming SOS advantage over Miami?

Do you believe the committee thoroughly reviewed these given their listed criteria?

This whole clusterfuck just reinforces how much they hate us.

Because MF is so damn likeable and cool they haven't been as blatant with the hate the last few years.

But, it's clear that the hate for us is still there and as strong as ever.

That's going to fuel this off-season.

Next year is our year ☘️

A part of me is hopes this ties Freeman and his family to ND even tighter.

I mean this is going nowhere, but I’ll try again.

I’m just asking we don’t take our foot off the gas and lose fourth quarters to Stanford next year.

I don’t doubt that ACC politicking played a huge factor in what happened today as well, but there is (3) known criteria that they put on their website and media briefings for how they decide rankings between teams in the same groupings, which because BYU lost we found ourselves in with Miami.

Miami beat us H2H, had better scoring margin against common opponents, and had basically the same SOS.

One of those (3) we could control over the last (6) weeks of the season, and I felt like we could have done more to make a better case against Miami in a H2H resume comparison.

You can say it didn’t matter, and that is fine.
I’m just going off what they “say” they make their decisions upon.

What if ND just decided to host another non playoff team in December. Fuck it. Let’s just put on our own bowl. NBC can televise and give a payout for it.

Why though?

The same issues would apply...

Opts out, potential injuries, etc.

The only postseason games that matter are the playoffs.
