BYU loses, ND's in. Simple as that.

Nick Reddish. On roster, Shuler is only 6'0.

The committee has stated they won't punish teams for playing in CCGs. Even if BYU loses, they'd still have a better record than Miami, and frankly, a better resume. 2 top 20 wins v. 1, and their 2 losses to a top 5 team v. 2 losses to unranked teams. I don't see them dropping BYU even with a...

I feel like, at least, conference champs should also require being ranked in the top 15. That seriously shouldn't be hard.

Problem is that BYU wouldn't drop with a loss. You can't drop at-large teams that lost CCGs in favor of other at-large teams who were IDLE. See last year. ND was behind Penn State and Texas going into CCG week, both lost and both stayed ahead of ND.

Oh I agree 100%. This flip was done to assure Alabama gets in. Has nothing to do with ND-Miami.

I don't buy that explanation. ND would never have been ranked as high as they were if that were the case. They could've kept ND low, behind the likes of Alabama and BYU, and that would've made the eventual flip easier.

Georgia would likely drop to 4 and become the 2nd highest at-large behind the loser of IU/Ohio State. BYU would stay put. Like last season, teams that are slated as at-large teams and lose their CCG won't fall behind other at-large teams who didn't play. Just like last season, when ND was #4...

But now they can't move Miami up at all, because BYU can't move down for losing in the CCG.

That's what doesn't make sense. You flip ND and Alabama now, you've locked in rematches at the 8-9 and 7-10 spot. Maybe that's what they want? Or they wait and decide to move them back if Bama loses. The way they've gone about this is so insanely convoluted and stupid.

In that case, why keep Miami at 12 behind BYU. Even if that was the play, this is a downright idiotic way to go about it. Because again, by the same logic that Bama can't drop for losing, neither can BYU.

It really doesn't make any sense to jump them now. You've essentially set up a situation where, as it is, you have TWO rematches set up. Why would you want to do that? Just wait a week, if Bama wins, they jump ND. If they lose, they stay where they're at.

They wouldn't. Virginia would jump Miami, by virtue of having both the better record and the conference title over them.

They can't. By their own logic, they can't move BYU. Remember last year, Penn State and Texas both lost and stayed ahead of ND. Committee stated they won't punish teams for losing in the CCG. The committee has a buffer to protect them from the head-to-head yokels.

Stupid ones, but they're not straying from their logic. Alabama's situation hasn't changed. Whether they were 9 or 10, based on the CFP committee logic, they aren't moving from that spot. If BYU loses, the same logic applies. You can't flip flop the logic for two teams in the same situation. If...

Yep. The committee can't have it both ways. It would make no sense to drop an 11-2 team out for losing to a top 5 team, and then keep a 10-3 team the same after they also lost to a top 5 team.

Here's the problem and why ND is likely getting in should Georgia beat Bama and Tech beat BYU. The committee can't have it both ways. Either they stick by their "don't punish conference title losers" logic, which in that case, BYU stays ahead of Miami, or they throw that out the window and...

He'll call up the KGB and see what Moscow has to work with in their portal. They probably have some sort of Ivan Drago for QB's hiding in the Siberian tundra.

49-20 on the road > 42-7 at home. Especially considering the score was 35-3 at halftime, compared to 7-7. One team took care of business early and called off the dogs and took their starters out early. One had to keep them out. Doesn't matter, SMU SMU SMU.

Nah. ND is on the road. Miami was at home. That's a TD cushion. ND wins by 28 it's similar.
