Real-talk, how does the @CFBplayoffs skirt the rules and regulations they have front and center on their own website? These are literally the stipulations they’ve put in place: ✅ Strength of schedule? Comparable. Notre Dame is 42nd and Miami is 44th. Notre Dame lost to the two best team they played (No. 10 Miami, No. 19 Texas A&M) and Miami lost to two conference opponents (Louisville, SMU) who finished the year 8-4 …. while Miami’s best wins were No. 6 Notre Dame, No. 18 South Florida, No. 18 Florida State and No. 22 Pittsburgh—while the Irish beat No. 20 Southern Cal and No. 22 Pitt. ✅ The head-to-head battle? No. 10 Miami 27, No. 6 Notre Dame 24. ✅ Comparative outcomes of common opponents; Miami beat North Carolina State, Pitt and Stanford more soundly than Notre Dame did—the Irish had the more impressive win over Syracuse. Call it what it is; the CFP committee—and most in the college football media—didn’t expect 6-2 Miami to win its final four games and to get to 10-2. Every strawman argument made this past month; none were well-thought out by the opposition (especially the CFP with their moving-target explanation every week). ALL OF THESE HACKS expected to be able to say, “We’ll it’s a moot point now, as Miami finished 9-3, Notre Dame is 10-2 and there’s no head-to-head debate anymore as the Irish are in over the Canes!” Instead, Miami rolled in their past four games—a combined score of 151-41 over Syracuse, North Carolina State, Virginia Tech and Pittsburgh. All that “offensive consistency” the CFP was asking for? Miami was rolling up points and Carson Beck re-found his groove, throwing for 1,125 yards, 11 touchdowns and one garbage-time pick. Miami opened up the playbook with Gerald Pringle in at running back, while all-everything Malachi Toney has been throwing touchdowns, running reverses and has become the second-best receiver in America. Meanwhile, the defense that was a disaster last year—one of the best in the country this season. For context, Miami gave up 42 points in the season finale at Syracuse last year—while this team has give up 41 total points the past four games combined. The #CFP and the pundits went all-in with their illogical takes this past month, expecting it never to come to roost as Miami was going to lose somewhere—remember all that “Mario Cristobal is 3-10 in November the past three years!!” chatter—nobody saw 4-0 coming after losing at SMU to start the month. They wrote checks with their mouths that their asses couldn’t cash—and now it’s all coming to a head where accountability and credibility is all on the line. Checkmate, you amateurs and paid actors.
