The solution: ND-Miami independently agree to play-in game.

[Handsome Squidbum]

The win-win for Miami, Notre Dame, playoff committee, tv networks, and ACC. Play-in game for playoffs.

Notre Dame always benefits by not being in a conference, so it doesn’t have to play a conference championship game. Miami got screwed by ACC rules so it misses the ACC championship. Both teams have a free weekend.

Committee knows it will be a viewed as a corrupt farce if it ignores head to head. So it tells Notre Dame “sorry, we don’t have a choice, if it comes down to it we have to pick Miami.” Miami reaches out to ND and offers a play-in game. Airs on ABC and NBC simultaneously. I will bet any amount of money that this game will break all viewership records. Everyone, even the most causal cfb fan, will tune into Catholics v Convicts part Deux. Winner makes the playoffs. Everyone makes boatloads of money. There is nothing preventing independent Notre Dame from setting this up and ACC gets to have the highest rated game ever, instead of missing the playoffs completely if Duke wins ACC championship.

I didnt read the post, only the title. This is dumb.

ND wouldnt do it if they are in.

Also we already played them. This would be dumb.

they aren’t in if the committee actually applies its own written rules. The problem isn’t who is playing better football. The problem is the committee said head to head should take precedence and is in their published rules. They have leverage on ND to get themselves out of this mess. Never had a situation that could ruin their credibility like this one and force another change to playoff selection process. Some people care about reputation.

Sure, just do it street ball style, skins vs shirts....5 on 5 ....

Nah. each head coach stands out in the rain without a hat for 1 hour max. The team's head coach that has the same amount of hair as in the beginning gets the at-large bid

I see what you did there, aiming for a Message Boards Genius post...

 

[saturdaysarebetter]

Notre Dame is going to get in because they're Notre Dame and they bring eyeballs to ratings. They lost to Miami. That should be the end of the discussion, but they'll get in. Total bullcrap.

 

[Steve44]

we already played. They should be asking for a play-in game. we got all the credentials we need. 4 common opponents and head to head

Nope. We already beat them.

That game already happened in the first game of the season and we won in case you forgot. This has to be one of the stupidest posts I’ve ever read on here.

There is no solution, but there is a reaction:

Remove ND from next years schedule. There is no benefit for Miami to play them. All we’re doing is helping their analytics.

I POSTED THIS THE SECOND WEEK OF THE SEASON THIS YEAR…..

“DONT STRESS THE “AT LARGE BID” BS….IF 0-1 ND CAN MOVE UP A SPOT FROM 9 TO 8 ON A FU@KIN’ BI-WEEK…BEING 0-2 NOW, THEY’RE SURE TO STILL BE IN THE TOP 10 WHEN THE POLLS COME OUT NEXT WEEK ”

CARRY ON….
