We’d be lying if we said this doesn’t leave a bitter taste in the mouth. But recency bias is A Thing and we’re willing to chalk it up to that. Dude still belongs in the Circle of Honor yesterday. #crew96

this is it right here. i just want some consistency in HOW they are ranking teams. The same things should matter for everyone!
This is actually what’s annoying about the committee, if their rankings consistently favored the same teams or their explanations consistently applied the same logic, I could get behind the teams they were pushing. Instead we get a shuffling and a new justification every week
I think good faith arguments can be made to put a number of very good teams in almost any order this year. And good faith arguments can also be made about what should be the most and least important criteria to sort them out too!

If Virginia, JMU, and UNLV lose, perhaps the world would rather see a 10-3 Kennesaw State than an 8-5 Duke. We had to play Indiana you know. Did Duke have to play Indiana
Just had a conclave w/ @jasonkirk.fyi and I'm ready to release the following probability: The Playoff chances of the 9-3 Kennesaw State Owls are lower than 1% but considerably higher than 0.0%

Why would the committee all of a sudden think Miami is better than Notre Dame based on BYU losing?
Makes no sense.

Why does head-to-head matter more when the teams are next to each other as opposed to when they're separated by one team? Beats me.

Miami's best-case scenario is BYU loses by a couple touchdowns or more to Texas Tech, and the Hurricanes move up and are next to Notre Dame.
Then, for whatever reason, it's "easier" to take the head-to-head result into consideration, and they flip-flop with ND at the last second.

Auburn did not win a single SEC game at home this season. Not one. Zero.
CFP chair Hunter Yurachek: "Alabama, in a rivalry game on the road, Auburn has been an extremely tough place to play for many teams this year, such as Georgia and Vanderbilt. The committee gave Alabama respect for winning that game."

CFP chair Hunter Yurachek: "We're not comparing Notre Dame and Miami side-by-side." Says the grouping has mostly been Alabama, Notre Dame, BYU and Miami, so that one H2H result is one of multiple factors at play.

Thanks Nicole I already felt so great about Miami's shot at sneaking in this year now I feel better!
There is also a world in which BYU loses to Texas Tech and isn't really penalized for it bc they only lost to one team all year (twice). And BYU stays as the buffer between Notre Dame and Miami.

They also said they aren't comparing Miami and Notre Dame directly so it's not like our win over them is ever going to matter.
UPDATE: The Hurricanes are in a tough spot in the CFP rankings, but some things committee chair Hunter Yurachek said tonight leave the door open for Miami to make it into the field.

So the answer to @brettmcmurphy.bsky.social's question last week about whether the committee would consider Lane Kiffin leaving Ole Miss was valid.
Hunter Yurachek says that there was no game without Lane Kiffin, so no data point, so no real consideration.

even if BYU and Bama lose I think this committee still sends Alabama and ND over Miami, because that is what they have chosen to do with the rankings at every opportunity. TAMU has one of the best wins in the country over ND but ours is irrelevant.
I think Hurricanes' fans two hopes entering conference title weekend:
1. BYU loses, Miami moves to 11, committee flips Miami and Notre Dame.
2. If Alabama also loses, it's enough for the committee to move Bama down behind Miami, and ND and Miami both get in.

This selection committee cared *deeply* about Alabama's bad loss to Florida State ... for like two weeks. A win over 5-7 Auburn was apparently enough to offset that & move 'em ahead of Notre Dame?
