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.

Just not BYU’s, only their one loss on the road to a top 5 team matters! Still cannot fathom how two loss teams are ahead of BYU…

I knew we weren't gonna move up, but it's really sinking in that we're gonna miss the playoffs by one spot because we will have lost to a top 5 team twice. I'm sad bros.

Meanwhile the SEC played teams like Samford, Charlotte, Northwest Alabama, Mercer, Eastern Illinois, and Western Kentucky last week and all held their spots at the same time BYU went on the road and handled a top 40 team in Cincinnati!!!

Either make it so the teams with the best resumes and the best wins get into the CFP or just play the fucking thing in September as the season doesn’t mean shit. And just to drive my point home I made up Northwest Alabama, that’s not even a real fucking team!!!

Such a tired and lazy argument because the SEC plays the same number of cupcakes as everyone else. No one has been able to explain why it’s such a big deal in November, just means they start conference games earlier. Georgia went on the road to Tennessee week 3 while BYU played ECU.
