You can't decline the bowl invite due to how the revenue sharing works now....
But they should 100% ABSOLUTELY cancel the game against ND next year. Yes, there will be a monetary fine but it's worth every penny to pay it. Zero incentive to play a ROAD game at ND next year where it's a clear lose/lose situation. You win and they'll discount it...you lose and they'll HEAVILY punish us for it.
I'm not even kidding. If we don't cancel that game I'll pay for the Fire Rad banner myself.

Their website explicitly states they use common opponents but margin of victory is irrelevant.
But I don’t think they want to play the common opponents game either because we have the edge on Alabama for that

I was more so talking media members but I wouldn't put it past the committee either since their reasoning changes week to week like how oregon still gets credit for beating penn state.

Miami beat Notre dame head to head
The only edge in common opponents they had was Syracuse, who was playing that game with 5th stringers
3-1 in Miami’s favor in common opponents margin of victories
And the obvious head to head matchup in Miami’s favor
4-0 against teams that were in the top 25 on the day of the matchup for Miami
2-2 in regards to Notre dame
You quite literally cannot make up ANYTHING that is even remotely convincing under any circumstances as to why Notre dame should be ranked ahead of Miami.

I really don't get how you square OU being ahead of bama b/c of H2H and being in the same conference, but not for ND and miami, who pretty much play in the same conference.
IMO the comparison really should be OU/Miami ahead and then you compare Bama/ND for that last spot if you're being consistent.

Y’all are pulling the rubber band so hard, it’s gonna hurt that much bad when they leave Miami out. They’ve made up their minds, it’s a beauty contest, not a record based contest. That CFP committee and its controller body is full of Miami haters.

And to add to the “Beauty Queen” remarks in Notre Dame and why ESPN is a crap network, front page has an article with Freeman stating why they should be in. Where is the one from UM/Pitt where Mario is making the claim for UM? What network carries the CFP ranking show broadcast again? The handwriting is on the wall…or front page.
4 common opponents
AND a head to head (we beat ND)
Comparable strength of schedule (ND played 6 ACC games but their game against A&M gives them a slight edge in SOS)
There is NO easier way to compare two teams with comparable resumes.
If they leave us out, it's because they want to and goes against their own stated criteria.
We are healthy and are expecting David Blay and Keionte Scott back.
We played 4 common opponents and won all 4 convincingly, just like ND did (you could argue we beat them more convincingly in 3 of the 4).
We beat ND.
Strength of schedule is probably a little in ND's favor because of A&M but we played FSU, UF, and USF when they were all ranked.
Our "bad losses" were to two 8-4 teams. Yes unranked, but those have become better losses as the season progressed.
Nowhere in their criteria do they mention things like "offensive efficiency" or "consistent performance on offense". That's all "eye test" BS the committee used to fit their agenda.
Oh yeah did I mention, we beat ND.

I posted this in another thread but want to add it to your points here:
Last week during the cfp show Heather Dinich made the statement that the committee felt that ND was better because their analytics were “much better” than Miami’s. Well here are the new updated analytics after today’s results:
SOR:
Mia:14
ND:13
SOS:
Mia: 44
ND:42
GC
Mia: 6
ND: 5
Efficiency:
Mia: 7
ND: 5
These 2 teams are basically identical when it comes to analytics- why is it then that the deciding factor isn’t the H2H result?

Yeah, when you throw in the 63 pt win over a walk on QB they have 143 while we have 128 points. Cuse was the only one of the 4 common opponents they had the higher margin of victory against.
They have wins of 29, 29, 63 and 22.
We have 35, 28, 34, and 31.
If they really want talk consistency and efficiency, we have those two covered here.
I'm sure they'll conveniently ignore those metrics now that they're so similar.
One thing that CFP can’t deny, we will fill the stands and TV ratings SMU not , TAMU not we will be a tremendously attractive team to challenge the IMMORTALS of CFB .
This may be our only SHOT if CFp wants what’s best for the fans .
I’m sure Miami will throw everything thing is playbook and let Malik unleash his sandlot backyard plays never seen in CFB .
If CFP is serious and want unbelievable excitement loaded with fun plays for CFB Miami is the clear choice.
Boringly games , hand off and punt games 17-10 games let boring teams play
MIAMI the CLEAR CHOICE

I appreciate ( but don’t like) Finebaum. At least he is saying it out loud. H2H counts, always has. Every major sport that has standings, playoffs and championships uses H2H as the most important factor. Except these cucks on the committee. Their machinations, hyperbole and back tracking is all a smoke screen to justify keeping us out of the CFP. It’s 30 years of grievance bc Miami upset their sacred game with our play, our speed, our aggression, and our Swag. So any time they can ***** us they do. And, Boys.. they’re gonna diddle this playoff rankings like a Catholic priest does an alter boy in the Rectory after Mass. just sayin’
