OK, I have to pick on you a bit here…

Miami had the 3rd weakest regular season schedule in the ACC (15th out of 17 reams) with their opponent’s winning percentage at .479 compared to Duke's opponent’s ,611 and Tech’s opponent’s .639 (Tech had the strongest ACC schedule FWIW but we still would have stunk with Miami’s weak schedule). Only Cal and Clemson had weaker schedules than Miami in the ACC. Had UVa beaten Duke in the ACCCG, many could be saying the same about UVa’s weak regular season schedule as the #10 seed in the CFP. UVa’s regular season opponent’s winning percentage was .493 which was 13th in the ACC. Only GT, Miami, Cal and Clemson had weaker schedules. Miami still deserves to be there and UVa would have too if they beat Duke. BTW OSU had a .528 opponent’s record and played #13 Texas and #18 Michigan as their only 2 top 25 opponents not counting #1 Indiana in the B10CG. Miami played only #11 Notre Dame as their only top 25 opponent. UVa played zero top 25 opponents as reflected in the final ranking but will note that FSU and Louisville were ranked at the time UVa played them. ND who pleaded that they should be in the CFP had a ,521 opponent’s winning percentage and played #7 aTm, #10 Miami and #16 USC. So I wouldn’t cast too many stones at OSU given the facts presented ** Edited by Calamitous at 1/1/2026, 8:47:05 PM ** Edited by Calamitous at 1/1/2026, 9:01:38 PM

Marooned • 01/01/26 10:30 AM ET
I would have liked to see a TT v Miami championship game…
Calamitous • 01/01/26 07:17 PM ET
We should want ALL the upper division ACC schools to step up
Marooned • 01/01/26 08:19 PM ET
Miami. Texas Tech. Indiana. Ole Miss.**

Except for IU which is a fluke, I'm with you 100% - Every year. **
Big12 guy • 01/01/26 10:31 AM ET
OSU played that vaunted B1G schedule.

Miami beat ND "head to head," so they deserved to be in the playoff.
EDGEMAN • 01/01/26 05:40 AM ET
BYU is the team that got screwed IMO. **
Big12 guy • 01/01/26 07:53 AM ET
No media attention to BYU playoff chances except from pro B12 outlets. Sad!**
RandomAsianGuy • 01/01/26 02:16 PM ET
Yes, yes it is sad. 100%**
Big12 guy • 01/01/26 10:59 PM ET

2hhoop3 • 01/02/26 10:57 AM ET
First impressions are always important, and many would say accurate.**

Is what it is I suppose. **

Calamitous • 01/01/26 07:18 PM ET
Am I the only person that thinks nobody was screwed?
hokieZ71 • 01/01/26 10:22 AM ET
That is fair, as BYU did have a chance to play in, and lost. Having a ND,
Big12 guy • 01/01/26 10:26 AM ET
BYU lost 34-7 to Texas Tech, like Bama they didn’t deserve to get in.**
Stech • 01/01/26 08:26 AM ET
Miami didn't play in a championship game - so they
Big12 guy • 01/01/26 09:05 AM ET
Well, let’s kick out Oregon, Ole Miss, Oklahoma and aTm also.
hokieZ71 • 01/01/26 10:25 AM ET
If the season had ended without championship games, BYU would
Big12 guy • 01/01/26 10:30 AM ET
Look, the way the rankings are released is also a set up.
hokieZ71 • 01/01/26 10:34 AM ET
So you are saying only teams that played in Conf Champ can get in? No ND?**
Stech • 01/01/26 09:28 AM ET
I'm saying that Been punished by playing
Big12 guy • 01/01/26 10:19 AM ET
I want to expand the playoff & get rid of Champ Games, but you can’t ignore
Stech • 01/01/26 10:29 AM ET
You’re arguing with Stech. Not rational college sports fans.**
hokieZ71 • 01/01/26 10:26 AM ET
What do you disagree with me on? Please stick to the content argument and
Stech • 01/01/26 11:13 AM ET
Tell that to ND.**
EDGEMAN • 01/01/26 08:20 AM ET
It was a convincing win. Da U is back.**
RandomAsianGuy • 01/01/26 12:09 AM ET

1947Sunbowl • 01/01/26 10:31 AM ET
The Ohio State is probably the 4th best team in the ACC. :-)**
Stech • 12/31/25 11:48 PM ET
No doubt!!!**
