Bwahahahahahaha

SI is full of shit as usual.

You can't seriously believe that A&M turns on anywhere near as many TV sets as ND does?  I mean, you know you're making a really weird argument here, right???
I don't like ND. I'm sure many would like to see them get their asses kicked though. I would.

ratings also take into account how many fans would like to watch a certain team lose

many more fans hate Notre Dame than the Aggies
Exactly.

It's like when CBS or Disney gets the chance to broadcast a Dallas Cowboys game.  They absolutely love it, because so many people love to watch the Cowboys lose.

That is the thing.  If you are selling advertising you care about eyeballs.  Whether those eyeballs are lovers or haters is irrelevant.

But beyond that, Notre Dame also has more fans than A&M by orders of magnitude.  They don't have to be rabid fans, they just have to be fans that turn on their TVs to watch Notre Dame.   Notre Dame absolutely dominates the "casual fan" market because every Catholic out there roots for them, even if they have another rooting interest like Texas or LSU or Oklahoma or whoever.

I have a friend that went to UT with me, he's from Houston and was born and raised a Longhorn fan by Longhorn graduate parents, just like me.  But he's also Catholic, and he wears Notre Dame gear almost as much as he wears UT gear and when Texas plays ND, he says things like, "Well, I'm torn on who to root for.  I just hope it's a good game with no injuries."

I mean, WTF?  How can you be a fan of one school, and say stuff like that?

It makes me hate Notre Dame even more!

I don't have much passionate dislike of Notre Dame like I do for say Eastern Michigan.

Well, not really. I'm a small sample size.

Next.
The computers are a bit short on data this year.  Their rankings get more valid the more games are played.

Most (all?) of them start with ranking biased toward last year's final results, and they get more "accurate" as they get more data.

Remember the bruhaha in 2014 about needing "one more data point" being the rationale for Baylor and TCU both getting passed by, was it Ohio State?, because the Big 12 didn't have a CCG?

As I said, I think Ohio State is better than USC.  But I don't understand the large disparity in their CFP rankings.

I think the 3 as usual will be Bama, Clemson, Ohio St.

it's the 4th that is the question

A&M probably gets in over ND - because SEC

I suppose most of us would love to see some carnage / some true 2020 stuff, like NW upset OSU.  Gators upset Bama.  Notre Dame upset Clemson.

some new blood in there
I would definitely like to see Notre Dame beat Clemson.  Again.
And then listen to all the explanation about how the first meeting shouldn't be held against Clemson because Lawrence didn't play in that game.
