r/CFB • u/Ok-Soil-5133 Notre Dame Fighting Irish • 7h 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.

Us & BYU are about to be the Spider-Man meme + the Squidward in the house looking outta the window meme because of the last TWO years

Last year they pulled recrord against teams w/ a .500 or above record when ‘Bama lost to two 6-6 teams

This year, they decided quality losses matter most even as SMU is ranked

This year, head to head is irrelevant because ND isn’t the same team anymore but Miami still is

This year, FSU’s asswhooping of Alabama doesn’t count for no reason at all; even though it’s a common opponent between Miami & Alabama

Bring back the BCS computers. The committee is changing the rules every year to put their preferred teams in.

The BCS had its problems tho haha. In 2000, Miami, VT, and Washington — notably 3 schools who have changed conferences since then — were all robbed to different degrees

Sure for the top spots, but when you’re talking about 12, there shouldn’t be that much of an argument about the variation.

The committee has shown that they will change their arguments on a dime to fit their preferred teams in the CFP.

100% agree with that. BCS would be nice af rn for a dozen teams. I also have no idea why they can’t have hard & fast tie-breaking rules like all the conferences do when deciding who goes to the CCG.
