Earlier in the week, the College Football Playoff field was decided upon. Despite both Miami and Notre Dame not playing a game last week, Miami jumped Notre Dame in the standings, claiming the last at-large CFP spot. While some may point to Miami's head-to-head win over Notre Dame as a solid reason to choose the Hurricanes, the committee had already ranked Miami ahead in the previous week. It's very odd to see their methodology flip out of nowhere. Had Virginia beaten Duke and gotten the ACC an automatic bid, would Miami still have made it over Notre Dame? Now, the Irish are fighting for an unfair advantage in future seasons to make up for it. The CFP might need a whole new rankings system. Leaving it up to a biased committee of mostly school ADs is not working for anyone.
