the ACC did its tiebreaker, then people should be complaining about the way the SEC did its too because the SEC ended up with a similar matchup. If the SECCG was UGA vs. Ole Miss or TAMU, then would the Committee have felt a "need" to include Alabama in the field regardless what happened in the ACCCG? My guess is probably not which should mean Notre Dame would have gotten that spot. Then it would have been a debate on whether Notre Dame or the 5th ranked SEC team should have received the final at-large bid, which is really what the debate should be about in the first place. ** Edited by VTHokie2000 at 12/20/2025, 4:49:21 PM
