ND played 3 G5 teams.
Cinci has 9 on their schedule and an FCS team.

Who wants to pretend all weak schedules are the same?  Anyone?  Anyone?

Your schedule isn't particularly relevant to how good you are? Are you claiming Alabama would magically suck if they played Cincinnati's schedule?

In the CFP so far we've had point differentials of:


  • 39 (semi)
  • 22 (championship)
  • 38 (semi)
  • 31 (semi)
  • 27 (semi)
  • 28 (championship)
  • 35 (semi)
  • 28 (championship)

So let's not argue that we're keeping Cinci out to protect them from a blowout or uncompetitive game.

how good you are is mostly related to how many losses you have
just ask the committee

Yup, and Clemson has been playing in by far the weakest of the P5 conferences, but it hasn't stopped them from having success in the CFP.

well, I don't know about "by far".  Don't forget the Big 12 and the PAC ;)

The B12 isn't anywhere close to as bad as the ACC. The PAC is somewhere in between.

And it's not like the B1G and SEC have been world-beaters lately either.  This year especially, the SEC is a mess, outside of Georgia.

yup, checking the Dawg's schedule, I was surprised to see only 4 SEC teams in the top 20

the Big 12 has 3 in the top 10

the ACC and PAC having rough seasons

SEC  teams beat up on each other and the sportswriters are all from the North and biased.

That could well be, though it hinges I think on Cincy winning out.  Add in OSU/UM and OSU/OU and you have it.

Josh probably feels that if Notre Dame was in the ACC with their only loss to Cincy, they'd have a conference champ game to add SOS and they'd also have a conference championship, which the committee says is worth something

of course, lip service by the committee doesn't always hold true
