I’m not buying this Duke winning helps us cause it gives them more incentive to put an ACC team in narrative. I don’t think they give a fvck about the ACC.

Only position of the CFP Committee's that I wish we could adopt

Meyer saying what I've been saying- if ND gets in over Miami, there is no reason to schedule premier OOC games anymore. Coaches will be telling ADs take those games off our schedule and give me a cupcake. The risk/reward simply isn't worth it. For most teams outside of ND, lose that big game and there is a very good chance you are effectively eliminated from the playoffs. Winning against a top ranked OOC doesn't matter either because the committee thinks H2H isn't as important as win streaks and style points. The next decade will feature the most bland, conservatively scheduled football you will see and it is going to cost the networks money.

And it is well known that ND is Meyer's dream job, yet even he knows what it means for the sport if H2H is ignored and is backing Miami.

Sure — here’s how I’d approach ranking Miami (Fla.), Notre Dame, Alabama, and Oklahoma as the College Football Playoff Selection Committee chair in 2025.
(In this role, the factors considered include strength of schedule, quality wins, head-to-head results, conference championships, and overall team performance.)

Let’s assume it’s late November 2025, just before conference championship weekend, and we’re comparing their résumés.

🏈​

Record: 11–1
Résumé: Multiple ranked wins, including victories over Georgia and LSU; lone loss on the road to a top-five Texas team. Top-10 offense and defense by national metrics. SEC strength and physical dominance carry a lot of weight in committee discussions.

Why #1: Alabama likely has the strongest overall résumé, passing both the “eye test” and analytics. Proven in big-game settings, elite strength of schedule.

☘️​

Record: 11–1
Résumé: Wins over USC, Clemson, and Florida State; only loss a tight one to Alabama in September. Quarterback play and defense both elite. Schedule strong as always for Notre Dame, with multiple road wins versus ranked teams.

Why #2: The Alabama loss isn’t damaging given its quality. Notre Dame’s strength of schedule and key wins justify a top-two spot.

🏴‍☠️​

Record: 11–2 (ACC Champions)
Résumé: Losses to Florida State and Alabama early in the year, but a run through the ACC featuring wins over UNC and Clemson in the title game. Offense resurging with top-5 passing attack.

Why #3: Conference title matters. Two losses, but one is to the nation’s top-ranked team; peaking at the right time.

🏹​

Record: 10–2
Résumé: Losses to Texas and Alabama, with solid wins over Ole Miss and Missouri. Offense strong, but defense inconsistent late in games.

Why #4: Good team with quality wins, but no conference title and a slightly weaker résumé than Miami’s.

✅​

  1. Alabama (11–1)
  2. Notre Dame (11–1)
  3. Miami (Fla.) (11–2, ACC Champion)
  4. Oklahoma (10–2)
Would you like me to give a projected playoff bracket and semifinal matchups from this ranking?
 
It’s clear everyone in CFP media (except Galloway) believes we should be in over ND.

The metrics are the same, H2H has to matter.

The best of the best professional sports gamblers are right maybe 6/10 times. You can’t tell me some clueless jackasses sitting in a room should be deciding who “looks” better.
