Based on nothing but the rankings. ND should drop out of the top four after today's laughable performance, meaning the team at #5 should move up.
Clemson lost as a double digit underdog in a game they didn’t need to win

TAMU resume is :trash: and the team isn’t championship contender level

Lets be real. No team that gets the #4 spot is a championship contender, in this set up. And it's not just about how you lost but when you lost. There is no argument for ND not falling out the top 4. I am not a Texas A&M fan at all. My team (Michigan) is triddash, I got no dog in the fight. But ND has no business being in this conversation after today, and the FAIR and logical thing is for the #5 seed to move up. There's also plenty of precedent for 1 loss SEC teams getting in.

The only argument for ND is based on ratings and the program. fukk that.

ND has a better resume than any team currently outside the top 4.

Damn shame Miami didnt meet up with trash ass ND.
And we would’ve beat the fukk out of Miami :usure: I been saying this for the past three years Notre Dame has the talent at every position but one and that’s the most Important position QB Ian book isn’t a NFL QB like he’s not going to even be on a practice squad you can’t beat bama,Clemson and Ohio state when you have a noddle arm short qb who doesn’t go through his progressions he holds this team back ND has nfl talent on both sides of the ball Look at how Chase claypool looked as a rookie for the Steelers and cole kmet look good When Nagy isn’t being a idiot ND is a nfl caliber qb away from being a legit Contender until then we will get our azzez kicked:yeshrug:

I'm talking about this year not in general. I think Bama or Clemson are clearly the best teams in the country, but OSU could compete if they can get healthy. The #4 seed, whether it's TA&M or ND, is gonna get smoked. I just think it should be TA&M.

Can’t you say that about damn near everybody in college football?

Nope. I can't think of a team ranked as highly as ND does every year that completely crumbles (not loses but gets destroyed) when they play a top 5 squad.

They beat a top 5 squad this year

What does that have to do with who deserves to be in the playoffs based on resume

The same squad they lost to with missing their QB and others due to COVID. They just barely won that game too. Who have they beaten aside from a top 5 squad missing players?

This is a rebuild year for us. I'm just happy the youth is getting this experience. Our starting 22 has only played 1 game together all year....the first 1.

They also beat a good UNC team. You can’t discount their Clemson win. Offense is not the reason Clemson lost that game

this was a playoff game for Clemson today. ND did not need to win this game
