I’m ok with them in especially after beating OU

Tulane and JMU both getting in is problematic though. That said Vandy didn’t really prove itself worthy losing its bowl game with pretty much all their key players available. BYU struggled with Pitt. Barring a complete overhaul of the system to limit the number of teams that can compete for the playoffs (132 FBS teams is unworkable yet legally necessary) we will continue to have the same lack of competitive games. It’s unavoidable.

Notre Lame should not have been in playoffs
Jethro Tull • 01/02/26 06:22 PM ET
disagry, They beat Oklahoma. They played a good team.
Riverguy • 01/02/26 05:48 PM ET
They were struggling down the stretch. ND should have gotten the spot.**
hokiedad25 • 01/02/26 04:40 PM ET
Vandy over ND**
Riverguy • 01/02/26 05:46 PM ET
5 SEC teams should not be in the 12 team playoffs. 4 should be the max any
jdkhokie • 01/02/26 04:37 PM ET
S/b 16 with ND, Texas, Vandy, and Tenn. no byes. 1st round at home. Play

I think we will eventually see this. The bye team performance sucks so far.**
hok1eboy • 01/02/26 07:35 PM ET
Just like lower divisions have played for over 40 years or more**
Boblope • 01/02/26 03:57 PM ET
Tenn? BYU was 12th.**
Truthahn • 01/02/26 03:34 PM ET
Or perhaps Oklahoma shouldn’t have been in the playoff. **
marcbvtgm • 01/02/26 02:38 PM ET
Winnah!
Jethro Tull • 01/02/26 05:04 PM ET
Correct**
Palmetto Hokie • 01/02/26 01:01 PM ET
I agree. Not just because of the blowout to IU either.**
GCHokieof91 • 01/02/26 12:59 PM ET
Should have been ND, who lost to #10 Miami by 3 and #7 A&M by 1.Runnerup 24**
BamBam • 01/02/26 12:59 PM ET
If ACC had been smart and put Miami in title game
HokieAl • 01/02/26 12:16 PM ET
Agreed that Bama wasn't goin to be left out but
BoozVT • 01/02/26 03:42 PM ET
If UVa had just beat Duke, we would have both UVa and Miami in and ND out.
Truthahn • 01/02/26 03:36 PM ET
In. SEC schedule plus multiple wins vs top 20 teams plus beating OU.
Hokeedokee • 01/02/26 12:01 PM ET
I had them OUT and ND IN.
