There were blowouts in the 4 team playoffs. There were blowouts in the two team BCS era. Teams in a 12 team playoff, are going to get blown out. It doesn't mean those teams didn't belong.

Not a Miami fun but if they are penalized for not playing a conference game why isn’t ND as well?

Josh, I don’t always agree with you, esp with your playoff team numbers, but it’s easy to see you love college football, and I appreciate that. Thank you

@JoshPateCFB is the only media personality getting the Miami picture right, this is why it’s my favorite show because he isn’t biased and calls it how it is. And that goes for every team, props my dude.
