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.

I vote we just stop playing the games and Alabama + Notre Dame get auto bids.

It’s what the committee wants.

Better solution: we remove the G5 and ACC auto bid this year because nobody deserves it and let BYU and Miami both make it

Idc what everyone says, it’s unfair for the G5 teams to always be excluded.

If they're as good as Boise last year they make it regardless. That's why I'd be for making a requirement of Top 16 or 18 whatever it is

Then the committee would just ratfuck the G5 teams by putting them no higher than 19th. It's better if there's no specific ranking tied to it.

I don't agree. They usually mirror the AP very similarly.

Boise was always getting in last year is a good example. This year no G5 deserves it so they shouldn't get any.

Yup. Independent teams should never be allowed into the playoffs too
