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.
Georgia tech being overlooked is kinda annoying. Definitely the accs best shot
Not a Miami fun but if they are penalized for not playing a conference game why isn’t ND as well?
So if I'm hearing this right, the committee is punishing GT and its ranking for most of the rest of the ACC sucking

GT should definitely be a few spots higher than Miami
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.
Awesome show!!! Thanks for putting it on Miami is a huge topic that makes me keep coming back
the hilary clinton line was top notch 😂
