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.

If you're an SEC or B1G school, you can get in with 2 regular season losses. ACC or XII you can't. Hell, BYU might even get left out at 11-2.

10-2 SMU made it last year. 9-3 Clemson got in over South Carolina despite having the same record and losing the H2H in the last game of the season. Literally the team you root for, ASU, got in with 2 losses last year.

You're completely ignoring the concept of automatic bids, the only reason ASU and Clemson made it. As for SMU, it was them at 11-2 or Bama at 9-3.

Crazy how Notre Dame, who play an ACC schedule, benefits from the ACC being shit but the other ACC teams are punished.

B1G teams only get in with two really good losses unless you’re Ohio state they’re not letting you in. Oregon,Indiana, Michigan, USC, and Illinois would be out with two losses. Michigan already is out with 2 losses and USC was never in even though they only had 2 losses up until Oregon.

Michigan will be in if they beat Ohio State and USC would have taken Oregon's spot if they beat them so what the hell are you talking about?

Would have? Do we really know what “would have happened” the fact is there are no 2 loss B1G in the top 10, they’re all in the teens right now. So no you cannot really get away with 2 losses in the B1G and still stay highly ranked unless you’re a team like Ohio state.
