There is no benefit to playing that game. The committee moved Alabama ahead a spot after struggling to beat a 5 win team without a head coach. We throttle a top 25 team by 4 TDs on the road and do not move a spot. This has nothing to do with resume and everything to do with revenue. ESPN and Fox pay the bills. We are in a G5 conference at this point. Until we get out of it our only chance is to win it and get an automatic qualifier.

It cuts both ways. f you replace ND on our resume with win over Tulsa or the like, I don't think we are even in the conversation.

No it doesn’t, Miami’s only option is win the conference or get left out…..the committee has made that clear regardless of Miami’s OOC scheduling.

If we didn't play nd this year it doesn't mean we would have beat lville or smu or if we don't play nd next year it doesn't mean we will go undefeated.

ND has nothing to do with why we lost those two games. Miami only has Miami to blame for the current situation.

Beating nd is the only reason we have a chance for the playoffs after the two losses.
 
Got news for you, even with the ND win if we went 11-1 we would be on the bubble. Look at BYU. Many of you are looking at this through an emotional lens. This is about conference revenue. The ACC is seen as a G5 conference as is the Big 12. The committee has 5 spots they have to fill with AQs. That means 7 at large. 4-5 of those at large spots will be filled by the SEC and another 2-3 for the Big10. The only chance we have to get in is by winning the ACC. That is it. There is no benefit to playing anyone with a pulse OOC. We could have 4 top 10 wins and they would argue against it.

Bama has a loss to a 5 win FSU and a bad home loss to a propped up OU. They have 2 top 25 wins. One against UGA and one against Vandy who has 1 win against a +.500 team (8-4 Tennessee). Bama was moved up after the last month of losing to OU, winning by 7 against 4 win SC, beating an FCS school, and winning by 7 after getting carried across the finish line by team SEC against 5 win coachless Auburn. As I said we could be 11-1 and they would put Bama ahead of us. They moved Bama ahead of us last year after they lost to 6-6 OU and we lost to 10 win Syracuse.

Our only hope to make the CFP is to go undefeated every year and/or win our conference. As I said there is no discernible benefit to playing anyone with a pulse as team espn/Fox will discard the win as insignificant compared to whatever patsy the SEC/Big lined up.

Not just us.. but BIG10 and ACC as a whole should stop playing them and force em Into a conference.

Replace them with Texas tech or another big12 team

And move these games to the end of the season

The big 10 is good they could stuff 3 teams into the cfp....and they typically have multiple ppl on the committee either from the midwest , ads at big ten schools or connected in some way to the big 10 schools.

Pull the game… ND gets more credit for a “quality loss” than we get for that H2H win

A joke what’s the point of scheduling these games.. just concentrate on beating the conference with 2 or 3 cupcakes and finish undefeated or 11-1 and cruise to the playoffs

THIS HAS BEEN ND MOTTO GOING ON 20 YEARS WITHOUT EVEN HAVING TO CONCENTRATE ON WINNING THE CONFERENCE...JUST FOCUS ON USC OR ONE OTHER GAME A YEAR AND THEN YOUR GONNA...SERVICE ACADEMY...STANFORD IT UP THE REST OF THE YEAR.
