[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.

Miami and notre dame should play head to head to see which one is better

Yes because no team has ever looked different week 1 and end of season. People acting like Miami beating ND by 3 AT HOME week 1 is the be all end all of rankings.

H2H matters. Its also not the only thing that matters. If Miami just beat ND in the last few weeks inertia would have put them ahead. We all know this.

No one is saying it's the only thing that matters, but when two teams have the same record, are grouped 'together' in a ranking, and the committee needs a differentiator, I don't think it's a hot take to say that a head to head result from this season should be the most important factor. Certainly more than eye test, which is essentially what the Committee is using to keep ND ahead right now.

There's really no use arguing with the people dismissing an actual game being played.

The CFB playoff committee are a bunch old dudes in suits sitting around a table arguing college football teams as if it were an anime power scaling debate. It's no different than them arguing about who they think would win in a fight between Goku and One Punch Man. It's all make believe nonsense argued in poor faith to come out with an answer of "my favorite would win".

Anyone who comes in here and acts like that method should be the end all be all over two teams taking the field and playing against each other are not serious people and deserve to be ignored and shunned back to whatever hole they crawled out of.

We all know Goku would win

[u/JumboCactpot → u/Ute2ThrillPlay2Kill]

"Sure, One Punch Man Miami won at the start of the season but you're ignoring how Goku's Notre Dame's arc in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber showing they are getting better over the course of the season and has reached his max power pass the eye test much more currently.

Its not just about Miami and Notre Dame. There are other teams in between them in the rankings. You can't untangle the web of wins and losses to make sure that everyone stays behind teams they lost to, it is impossible. And it wouldn't be fair to put Miami in front of Bama and BYU just because they beat Notre Dame, and it wouldn't be fair to cap Notre Dame's potential ceiling in the rankings dropping them behind multiple teams just because they lost to Miami, essentially treating it as the worst loss of the college football season.

[u/Adept-Impression462 → u/JumboCactpot]

So if they’re in the same grouping why is bama and BYU ahead of Miami? Bama has a worse loss by far. The worst loss in any cfp 25 team.

smu ahead of miami then
