You’re entitled to your opinion. We all display our fandom in different ways.

Don’t see any reason for you to come in all aggressive, but to each their own…

For those that don’t know, she is the sole representative from the ACC on the CFB Playoff committee. She is currently the athletic director at Virginia, and yes, she has ties to the SEC as well.

With that said, she’s probably our only hope. It’s her job to make our case to everyone else in that room. I know some of you are skeptical that she can get this done, but I’d prefer to hope for the best. And I plan to go down fighting.

I sent her an email yesterday. Will she even open it? Probably not. But if there is even a 0.1% chance it helps, it’s worth a shot. I love this team, man. The passion I have for the Canes is unmatched. I don’t watch the NFL, NBA, NHL, or MLB — so I’m going to do my part, even if my efforts fall on deaf ears. **Edit - she also has a Twitter**

Here’s what I said in my email:

Dear Ms. Williams,

First off, congratulations on your school making it to the ACC championship game. They deserve it after having such an awesome year.

I’m writing to you asking for your assistance: can you please be the voice of reason in that committee room on Tuesday? You might be our only hope.

The Miami Hurricanes deserve to be AHEAD of Notre Dame in the upcoming rankings. Even from an objective standpoint, the choice is clear.

Besides beating them head to head, Miami has had a wider margin of victory against 3 of the 4 common opponents they share with Notre Dame — NC State, Pitt, and Stanford.

Additionally, when you examine computer metrics, there is next to zero daylight separating these two teams.

Strength of Record:

Miami - 14
ND - 13

Strength of Schedule:

Miami — 44
ND — 42

Game Control:

Miami — 6
ND — 5

Efficiency:

Miami — 7
ND — 5

When the resumes are this similar, head-to-head matchups have to be the deciding factor; otherwise, why play the games? Notre Dame should NOT get more credit for losing to Miami than Miami gets for beating ND.

The argument since the first week of the rankings has been that ND looks like the better team. They don’t anymore. The last month proves that. When all else is equal, Miami deserves the nod, especially considering the fact that these two teams played already and Miami WON!

Please make this case to the committee, as it would be a grave injustice to keep things the way they are.

As Nick Saban, the greatest college football coach in history, said on College Gameday:

“If Miami finds their way into the playoffs, they will be the MOST DANGEROUS team in the playoff.”

I appreciate you for taking the time to read this email. It means the world to our entire fan base. The ACC does not have to tolerate continued disrespect, and I know you will do the best that you can to enlighten the rest of the committee.

nice work

but why would someone who WORKS FOR OUR RIVAL who is also in the ACCCG and likely will get the automatic bid fight for her rival?!

You may be right, but I’m going to hope for the best.

I’m 30 years old and barely remember this program being relevant. I was 6 when we won the national title in 2001. My parents let me stay up to watch. Since then, I’ve known nothing but misery. I want a shot at this playoff. I know we have the team to compete for a title. We’re peaking at the right time.

Same brother I’m 31. My first memory of football is being mad at OSU in 2002 when my dad is screaming at the tv

Probably right, though Bama is a longshot if they get blown out,

Honestly yeah and Bama deserves to be out more than ND. Oklahoma probably deserves to be out next. Neither are playoff caliber teams. We deserve to be in before ND and these two teams. And I don’t even consider BYU because we know they don’t belong
