CFP thread

That said, ND should have been in the playoff ahead of Tulane, JMU, and Alabama. But of those 3, Alabama was the best team. As you stated above, the playoff is not a participation ribbon. If it's got 12 teams, it should be the 12 best teams, and that shouldn't change as the CFP expands.

BYU should’ve been in the playoffs before both Notre Dame and Alabama.

Notre Dame was only able to beat deaf, lame, and blind teams. They literally did not have a single win against anyone of consequence whatsoever.

And BYU’s only loss in the regular season was against the #4 team in the country.

I agree BYU and ND should have been in a fairly constructed playoff. In such a playoff, the 2 teams out would have been Tulane and JMU.

TLDR version is Notre Dame's entire SOS is based on losses.
NDs best win was a home game against 4 loss USC. best win by a million miles.
The 2nd best win was against a Pitt team that lost to WVA and East Carolina.

BYU beat that same East Carolina bowl team 34-13.
They also beat Arizona (dropped out of final AP 25 with a Bowl loss), Utah (14th in final AP), TCU (25th in final AP) by 30, Cincy (ranked much of the year before falling apart down the stretch to top 25 teams listed here).

BYU got mercilessly punished for losing badly to a good Texas Tech team with 8 guys at the Senior Bowl and 3 DL that will be drafted top 50 who was a match up nightmare because they were the best run stop team in D1.
Then losing the same bad match up in the big 12 championship game.

Imagine an SEC team winning everything but two games against Georgia being left out??
Or Oregon going 12-2 with only 2 losses to Ohio State.

In the regular season, Notre Dame had as many wins over teams that finished ranked as anybody in the playoffs did (and more than a couple).

Sounds to me like you're admitting quality of losses matter....

VERY smart move by Indiana
clearly if he wanted he could get a HC job in the pros
so either he is quite content in college or he is waiting for the right job in the pros
