I can’t believe it, but Yurachek outdid himself

Says “BYU losing created the head to head comparison between Notre Dame and Miami”

No it didn’t, dumb dumb! 🤦‍♂️😂 That head to head comparison has been right there since the first CFP rankings in November.

What a dumb, moronic committee.

What really happened here is the ACC would be apoplectic to have their champion left out AND have Miami out over ND, who has the head to head loss. And the SEC would be apoplectic to have Bama out over the result of a CCG result.

Translation: Bye Bye, Potato Boys!

I think Notre Dame would have been it if Virginia won.

What a mess. I love it! 😂

So BYU looking like crap moves them down but not Alabama?

BYU had a second chance against a team that they already looked like crap against, and then looked like even worse crap lol.

Bama looked like crap against a team they had beat the first time.

So there is technically a difference there.

And BYU’s chances of the CFP weren’t hurt or helped by their Tech loss. They weren’t in the field before and aren’t in the field after.

Yurachek makes Kamala's word salads seem almost coherent...

These head to heads are like a fine wine.  If the selection show would have been a couple of weeks down the road, who’s knows, maybe our head to heads against Oklahoma and A&M would have been considered more valuable.  There are only 3 teams in the playoffs I’m scared of.

So head to head matters but only sometimes? Why were we ranked behind Vandy in the last poll even though we beat them and it was WORSE not closer than the score indicated. BYU being ahead of us is just a f-u to Texas for thinking we could possibly bring a valid case to upset this stupid approach. We need to expand now. We have teams opting out of meaningless bowl games because there’s literally zero point to playing them for the older guys.
Common opponents ND loses to us too. Miami does deserve to be in but somehow they magically moved up 8 spots with a win over Pitt versus us moving 3 spots and being ranked ahead of them with three losses and a dominant win against the number 3 team in the country. We shouldn’t have lost to Florida?? Fine, then kick bama out and put BYU in because they shouldn’t have lost to FSU. G5 has no business being at the table and effectively created a bye for the 2 teams that play them. Instead we get a Bama OU snooze rematch? Horrible, just pitiful. The irony at this point is that we wanted TAMU and OU to go deep enough in the playoffs and get smoked by osu and UGA so we again have an argument posthumously that they got it wrong and we should’ve been dancing.

I actually like that Bama and OU play. I can live with either outcome:

Bama win- first round exit for OU, undoes their biggest season accomplishment, possibly makes it look like a fluke depending on how bad

OU win- makes it look even more like Texas was the better team than Bama

Same for TAMU Miami:

Miami win- first round exit for TAMU, 0-2 to end season, crying Aggies leaving Kyle Field

Aggie win- makes it look like Texas was the better team than Miami

I’m also happy that Oregon and Tech play- Daddy Warbucks #1 vs Daddy Warbucks #2. They deserve each other. Hopefully Nike U can send Raider Rash out crying.

MOST IMPORTANTLY- I’m happy each of them have 2 opportunities to lose before playing one another (1 for Tech because of the bye). Would hate to see any of them play one another, because it would be like rooting for which testicle to have kicked.
