All of college football needs to stop scheduling ND until they fucking join a conference. 

Go even further than that. They shouldn't be allowed in postseason play, and they should be excluded from CFP rankings entirely until they join a conference.

It's far beyond time to end their special treatment. On top of that, they get to play a bunch of games that mean nothing toward the conference standings of any team they play, so their games mean that much less.

They're never going to do it on their own, you have to give them no choice. It's time.

ND making it is the biggest travesty of them all but I think them slotting ND at 10 and Miami at 12 sets the CFP up to right that wrong - BYU loses, that puts Miami and ND next to year other which justifies a flip due to the head to head.

Doesn't really do us any favors but at least ND gets fucked.

If they want to quiet the Texas hype train down, they just need to come out and say it - losses are more important than wins. That is the ONLY justification for ND and Miami being ranked ahead of Texas. If flies in the face of what they've said previously but if that's their stance now, so be it, but fucking own it so we can adjust accordingly.

Notre Dame would beat BYU by 2 touchdowns because Mormonism isn't a real religion.

Stop persecuting Christians.

 One of the at-large is automatically ND's*, so more like SEC champ + 6 potential at-large spots for Texas.

 

*as the committee has clearly made it plain as day this year, they are in at 10-2 and their schedule sets them up for 10-2 or better for the rest of forever. 

Their ACC alignment really weakens their schedule. The 2027 slate has potential to be extremely decent if USC lands, or the chance to be crap:

Potential good games:

- Auburn pending Golesh returns.

- Georgia Tech if Lea keeps momentum.

- Clemson pending Dabo getting shit together.

- VaTech pending Franklin returns (top 22 class is a great start, their roster will be a contender in the ACC).

- USC if they renew.

I’d say there are even or better odds (for each team individually) to be top 40 in 2025, and potential for 3 or more to slide into the top 20. No one would be surprised any year at Auburn, Clemson, and USC ending in the T25, they have the rosters for that now. 

Michigan State with Fitz is more of a long term project and is more of a wild card.

Yay?

No one knows how strong or weak a schedule is going to be two years down the road. If I tell someone in December 2023 that a 2025 schedule with:

Tech

Indiana

Ole Miss

A&M

Is 4/7 of the 7 top CFP seeds, no one is taking me seriously.

Aggy would have had multiple losses if they played BYU’s Big XII schedule, or any regular Big XII schedule that actually includes programs in the top half of the league. 

I don't see it. Maybe they would have been tripped up in one game. But two teams that managed one win a piece in the SEC took down mid-tier big 12 teams in ASU and Baylor.

Based on what? 

The only SEC-B12 matchups were:

Arizona St @ Mississippi St … MSU won … ASU later went on to beat Texas Tech

Auburn @ Baylor … Auburn won. 

Kansas @ Mizzou … Mizzou won. 

So teams that combined to go 6-18 in SEC play went 3-0 against the B12

Was anyone clamoring to cancel the Ohio State game before the season?

No...why would we? We were fed the bullshit that we wouldn't be penalized for that game, and we are.

I mean this is kind of semantics though because the committee is pretty opaque about what metrics are most important. In the rankings as released Texas is located in the middle of a bunch of 10-2 and 11-1 teams so the refrain “only the loss column matters” is false: Texas is ranked higher than teams with fewer losses and so by definition there is more going on. 

God this is such bullshit.  Texas is, quite literally, out of the playoffs because of 3 losses.  That's it. Bottom line.

It should be Notre Dame OR the ACC champ have an automatic.  They have a scheduling agreement with the ACC and basically play an ACC schedule.  This would fix a lot short of forcing them to join or have a decent schedule.

And those big 12 teams were a combined 12-15 in Big 12 play. Auburn and MSU had 1 win a piece in the SEC.
