Does Notre Dame make the CFP?

Jesse Palmer giving a reason why Miami s/b in ahead of ND. “They won 4 in a row by an average of 27 pts.” Meanwhile ND has averaged 36 point margin of victory in last 4. These guys are insufferable.

ESPN doing a 180 with BYU getting waxed and now it’s Miami in over ND. 🤣

Why are we only looking at margin of victory?!?!?! Such blunt, idiotic, and disingenuous punditry.

Who did? The Irish?

Aren't those better odds than this morning? I got -380 on Hard Rock earlier today.

 

[SeekNDestroy]

Are we definitely in if Alabama loses?

 

[MacIrish75]

-420 now, SUCK IT @EvilleIrish

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Are we definitely in if Alabama loses?

No. We certainly should be but I don’t think there are any certainties.

 

[ColoradoIrish]

Are we definitely in if Alabama loses?

We should be, but honestly who the hell knows at this point. If Alabama loses the final two at large should be us and Miami

 

[Armyirish47]

Gotta believe that if they agonized over Bama ND, then a 3 loss Bama should drop a spot thus loss = profit.

 

[NumbersGuy0520]

Are we definitely in if Alabama loses?

No, but then the door is open for any of:

- Alabama dropping behind us
- Alabama stays put but so does BYU, providing a buffer between us and Miami
- Alabama stays put, BYU drops, but we still stay above Miami because we were just ahead of them and no new information has been gained to jump them ahead of us.

All would have to go wrong for us to miss. Which is possible, but unlikely. Feels like we’d have like a 90% chance of making playoffs.

I really think Bama would drop behind us. Committee bumped Bama up last week to this reason. If there was no concern about them dropping with a loss, they wouldn’t have.

Are we positive Georgia doesn’t move up to 2 if they beat the brakes off Bama? Assuming Ohio State beats IU that is and if it’s not a nail biter.

 

[rtrn2glory]

What's an ass kicking? 3 score win?

 

[IrishBryan77]

So someone help explain this to me....how would it be fair to have a 3 loss Alabama team over a 2 loss ND/Miami.

If Alabama loses they should be bounced and then the drama is over. They just want the SEC to win.

Why wouldn’t they be 2? I consider it a certainty.

The argument would be (NOT THAT IM ENDORSING IT) that Alabama shouldn’t be punished for losing a CCG against the number 2 team in the country (which Georgia will be at the end of the day if it wins) when neither Miami nor ND played in a CCG at all, and that Alabama’s overall body work remains (because it’s currently ranked ahead of us) better.

I disagreed with the committee’s decision to rank them above us and Miami, but if this games close I will at least understand the above.

I think UGA is two with a win and the loser of Big 10 is the three.

You can move down for not playing but you're good if you lose in the CCG and your name is Alabama??? Got it.

 

[drayer54]

Seems like Georgia throttling Bama is nothing but good

 

[Me2SouthBend]

TT could be 3 if OSU wins by +10 tonight and Ga wins.

 

[IrishinSyria]

Basically we really want Georgia to step on

Yes, the committee is pretty clear that CCGs are treated differently than the regular season.

Big downside to us being independent.

Fuck them!! 👍 And the horse they rode in on.

 

[IrishBryan77]

I hope Georgia beats the brakes off Alabamer.

People talk about a 'buffer' between Miami and Michael Corleone. Bama could corrected down to one slot below us, there's a buffer.

 

[Kingbish01]

Halftime updated odds...

To make:

ND -700
BAMA -650
Mia +198

This 2nd half can turn this into a Bama vs Miami issue.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

TT could be 3 if OSU wins by +10 tonight and Ga wins.

I don't think they'd drop a undefeated IU that far for losing to the number 1 team.

 

[stlnd01]

At some point, the committee's interest is in building a good tournament, and I don't know how you watch this Alabama offense and think "now THAT is a team that will make some noise in the playoffs."

 

[stlnd01]

Even the Miami guys are starting to get it now.

Georgia vs. Alabama live updates: Bulldogs stretch lead on Frazier's 9-yard rushing TD

Maybe it's just me, but the selection committee might have made a mistake moving Alabama past Notre Dame after its huge win over 5-7 Auburn last week.
