Is completely thrown out the door when you move Bama above ND.

How on gods earth does moving Bama over ND make any sense based on the committees comments on previous shows?

ND has better quality losses AND passes the “eye test” better Than Bama. Yet Bama moves above them after squeaking by a 5-7 Auburn? Not to mention losing just a few weeks ago to OU when I thought losing early was better.

On top of that, we throttle Pitt and BYU struggles against UCF and no movement there.

I recall the chair saying that if ND and Miami were in the same comparative pools, that the H2H would play a ‘significant’ role. Yet here we are two spots from them, and what now? How **** close do we have to be to be in the same pool.

It’s a new narrative each week. This is the type of **** that will eventually make us as fans just not want to watch the sport anymore.

Don’t even get me started on Duke being in the ACC game above us. I don’t care about whatever formula they used to beat us in the tiebreaker. Duke is freaking 7-5.

Everyone says don’t lose to SMU and we don’t have this conversation. They aren’t wrong, but if our season came down to bad officiating at the end of the game (Lightfoot roughing the passer, Francis hold, and no PI) call. Then it makes it ever more frustrating. We didn’t lose that game, it was stolen from us.

Just venting here, but Jesus Christ.
