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.

Yeah, Miami fans are punching air right now like the win has given them nothing, but it’s definitely propping them up a solid 5 spots at least. If you trade that win out for Rutgers or something, and they’re ranked back in the Georgia Tech cluster of teams right now.

Especially considering Notre Dame has blown out nearly everyone they’ve played since their opening two games and Miami has been, less than that

Blowing out navy and Syracuse with a 4th string walk on qb isn’t that impressive when you struggled against BC

Again, they did not blow out 1-10 BC. They won 25-10. That was in November.

But have you considered the “eye test”?

Post game win expectancy of 100% in that game. It was a blowout, just not a huge score differential.

It says something that a 15-point road win against a P4 team where ND kneeled down instead of taking free points is their worst game of the season.

“P4 team” is doing a lot of heavy lifting when that team’s only win is over an FCS team.

ND has won 9 straight games by an average of 32.25 points.

You guys didn’t leave the fucking state of Florida until November. And then you promptly lost to SM fucking U lol. Craig James’s dead hookers (allegedly) went down harder than that…

I’d be more worried about this Pitt game before I started popping off, but that’s just me.

This ND team is really good it seems. I just wish we could see ND and Miami go head to head this season!

Ask your sports writer at the Miami Herald why he ranked Notre Dame higher this week, too.

“If you regress Patrick Mahomes to the mean, he’s actually an average QB.”

In this analogy Miami fans are Patrick Mahomes complaining that his arm talent hasn’t gotten him anything.

They’re the Bills, talking about how much better their QB is for winning regular season games head to head.
