CFP Info from Miami OH AD

Now this made me laugh...

Absolutely delusional stuff, I counted 5 'expected' L's ....plus ya know the 2 ******* real life L's when they played the actual game.

I didn't think it possible, but I think I hate ND more than the gator.

A buddy of mine who used to work at Miami University (OH) spoke with his former colleague, David Sayler, the athletic director at Miami U and a current member of the CFP selection committee. He asked him about ND vs. Miami for the final rankings, and this is what he said:

"If ND and Miami are side-by-side in the rankings, he thinks Miami will surpass ND. But he said there is about half of the committee that firmly believes ND is the better team at this stage. The other half of the committee firmly believes that head-to-head needs to mean something."

Not really surprising. And this doesn't make me think they will actually flip Miami and ND if we do actually end up side-by-side. I'm still assuming they will do whatever it takes to keep ND ahead of us. But this came from someone in the room. Make of it what you like.

What might be most frustrating, and there’s plenty to be frustrated with, is the fact that not only did we beat ND, it really wasn’t close. We never trailed. We were up 21-7 headed into the 4th before Mario decided to play prevent too early. If he doesn’t do that, the score likely widens. Oh and remember that terribly botched FG attempt that took 3 points off the board from us in the first quarter? We didn’t even play our best game and still won relatively comfortably. This wasn’t a fluke. It was control and arguably domination.

After watching the first 3-4 drives from each team, I felt confident we’d win and my heart rate was steady. I wasn’t glued to the TV. I was relaxed. We didn’t win on. Hail Mary or need some miracle play. In fact, plenty of calls and things didn’t go our way.
