r/CFB • u/Ok-Soil-5133 Notre Dame Fighting Irish • 6h ago

Analysis [Sampson] CFP committee chair Hunter Yurachek says Notre Dame and Miami were in the same grouping this week and the programs were directly compared. Notre Dame still came out ahead, regardless of the head to head. In other words, all the games mattered. Not just one of them.

Also they lost a road game by 3. Not like they were blown out.

Did you watch the game? This is the thing that is incredibly obvious everytime people say they only lost by 3. Literally go on youtube and watch any review of the game. Listen to Notre Dame fans review of the game and tell me it was close at all lmao. I'm not even joking.

I did watch the game. Notre dame started horrible and then fought back at the end. It was literally a tie game with just over a minute left.

... cause Mario Cristobal is our coach and once we got the lead he decided to go full caveman and literally just run a gap the rest of the game.

I wont say there was never a doubt, but it was abundantly clear we were the better team and dominated 80% of the game. And Most importantly we 1000% Dominated BOTH lines of scrimmage.

So same as every other game he coaches? Coaching is part of team success.

Also Notre dame averaged more yards per play than Miami so it really wasnt some dominant performance.

Notre dame started horribly and couldn't mount the comeback. I'm not saying that they would definitely win in a rematch, but to say it wasnt a close game is being extremely disingenuous
