Notre Dame's CFP Snub Reaction + Bowl Game Opt-Out - Josh Pate's College Football Show

ND fan here. Miami 100% deserved to be in and they deserve that spot. My issue with the ACC is their bone headed tie breakers that kept Miami out of the conference championship game. If Miami wins that conference title and gets an autobid, then ND gets an at large bid. I’d like to think that’s why our AD was pissed, but I don’t know.

Gruden is right, the runner ups should be playing elimination games on Championship weekend instead of having a bye week.

This biggest issue, as always, is the supposed criteria are applied inconsistently depending on the team

I think if they remove the weekly ranking shows then all of this gets a lot less extreme Do what March Madness does and let the AP and Coaches polls do all the talking and then let Selection Sunday be the first and only time the playoff committee let's people know who's in and who's out

Bottom line the way the playoff is set up its not the best 12 teams.

Good to know you can lose TWO unranked games, not even play in a conference championship and still make the playoffs 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Josh shouldn’t the committee weigh the fact that Miami and Alabama had wins against an FCS team and really only nine wins in the FBS. I thought the committee was going to.” discount.” Those. Obviously, tough decisions and the big culprits are a system that had the possibility of two group of five teams getting in and the ACC for their nerd algorithm tiebreaker system

I agree they were not robbed but they were definitely misled and I blame the committee wholeheartedly because they knew exactly what they were doing the Tuesday before when they dropped Notre Dame. They fully expected BYU to lose and that Miami was going to jump Notre Dame. There are so many issues with the current playoff system and guaranteeing certain spots where they shouldn't be guaranteed

I don’t think Pete minded the ACC pushing Miami as much as they made it also against Notre Dame. Perhaps he mostly pissed how the ACC could so incredibly botch tiebreaker process. If game is 1st place UVA vs highest ranked ( Miami) then ND is in. Has to be thinking about Jim Phillips “ how could you be so stupid?”

ND did state that it was a team decision to opt out of the bowl invite.
