I've never been more firmly convicted that ND needs to stay Indep. and push every one else's shit in from here until the end of time. Conferences want a piece of ND's pie. The bottom feeders want to suckle off the teet. Screw them all!

I'm done with college football until the playoff system is fixed. This level of corruption to protect Alabama is one of the most insane things I've witnessed. What is the fucking point of playing a whole season, if at the very end, a bunch of suits just say "thanks, but sorry, you're out...

The funny thing is Bama fans now replace ND fans for a week of bed wetting. This is fun.

They should be left out for Miami. But my guess is punishment for losing a CCG will prevail as a slap on the wrist instead of a death penalty. Meaning, they drop a spot, they don’t drop out. Marty does okay during Masters week.

Big 12 refs got the memo….TT gotta out play BYU and the stripes. Sheesh. That was awful.

Said the same thing to a friend. He was on a ton of short lists.

Hate auto bids, tbh. Play-in games, yes.

Sorry Nard-dawg. My guess w/o diving into the data is that ND minus garbage time proves otherwise when comparing to Miami in games versus Pitt. Can someone do that dirty work for me? I'm out on the road.

Personally, I don't think anyone should give a rat's ass how the G5 and New Mountain West feels. There are really only 2 main conferences with the ACC still struggling to figure out if it wants to get serious or not. Everyone else is 'whatever' to me. Auto-bids are stupid.

Last year's format was evaluated and changed. That gives me hope that the this year's configuration will also be evaluated at it's conclusion and hopefully changed as deemed appropriate. Correct. To me, a lot of what they had in mind when creating a 12-team football bracket mirrored some...

How many teams are hitting their stride in week 1? The only way I see a coach truly getting a handle on his team is to play a game. The idea is for that game not to have season-long implications for your playoff hopes. The team you are in week 1 is almost never the team you are in week 10...

I can't get over the fact that Tulane is going to get an auto bid after they already proved against Ole Miss THIS SEASON that they don't belong. All of Miami's anger and frustration needs to be focused on 1) dumb ACC CCG rules and 2) CFP auto bids going to garbage teams ranked way behind them.

Meh, Prister has always had that attitude of being the grumpy old man who knows more than the listeners. If people no longer want to pay to hear that condescension, I get it. It's not his opinion people are upset about. It's publicly advocating for ND not to make the playoffs as a ND journo...

I don't see how it'd force ND's hand to join a conference. If ND doesn't play UM and AM in weeks 1 and 2, and instead played them in Oct/Nov, it's highly likely that ND is 12-0 and ranked #1 in the CFP. Being left out this year won't have anything to do with conference affiliation. You still...

I agree. I mentioned a Wild Card play-in to my buddy the other day. I'd discontinue the CCGs and replace that weekend with two play-in games. If the committee isn't going to punish or reward winners and losers of the CCG, why play them? A play-in game is far more appealing and would create...

Optimal Notre Dame Scheduling Model: Don't schedule your two hardest games in weeks 1 and 2. End of thread.

My gut doesn't trust the committee. If the tables were reversed regarding H2H, I'd be livid if ND beat Miami but was ranked behind them. So I get it. I get what SVP is trying to say. Alabama is ranked ahead of Oklahoma in FPI, FEI, and Sagarin....yet the committee has OU above Bama because of...

Thanks!! You should get this to Greg and Jamie somehow. They just wrapped a podcast about all this stuff. But I don't recall them adding a weighting to Jamie's "Pillars."

Is there anyone here who can put together a new rankings system that basically does the BCS model w/ weighted data but also add a weighting number for Jamie U's metrics for championship caliber teams? ND checks 6 of his 8 boxes. BYU checks zero. Miami checks 4 i think. Bama checks 2, if...
