Duke, Tulane, JMU. So it was basically two spots for Alabama, ND, Miami. It was hard to justify leaving Miami out because of the head to head win against ND. So it gets down to ND and Alabama. Alabama lost a championship game while ND doesn’t even have one. Do you penalize Alabama for losing it? ND for not having the option? Do you reward Alabama for having the best win or penalize them for having the worst loss? Does ND get credit for their losses being close and against two highly ranked teams? Or penalized because their wins were against lower ranked teams? There’s not a great answer there. I’m actually surprised that Miami got in. I figured it would be ND and Alabama.

Tulane and JMU weren't really decisions today -- Pylons Dec 07, 2025 at 02:12 PM ET

Agreed - the system is not about seeing the best teams in a playoff. -- Hokie Rebel Dec 07, 2025 at 02:12 PM ET
