00:00Miami Hurricanes made the college football playoff.
00:05They're going to take on Texas A&M on December 20th at high noon
00:10from College Station.
00:12At least as I saw yesterday, Texas A&M was a four-point favorite
00:15for that game.
00:17I don't know where the line is right now,
00:18but that's what it opened up at yesterday.
00:20I got sent this text during the break, Brittany,
00:23from I think this guy's name is Trey Zune III.
00:27He's one of their linemen, Texas A&M.
00:30He says that Reuben Bain's not a threat.
00:38No reaction to that?
00:41That seems like a dumb thing to come to your mind.
00:45I just want to laugh.
00:49That's funny.
00:51Hey, Reuben!
00:53This Trey Zune III says you're not a threat!
00:57So, you know, dude, I'm sure the message will get to you.
01:01It'll be in the notebook.
01:03That's crazy talk.
01:04I do love that Notre Dame is sitting here and crying.
01:10It's really crazy to me that we had to sit here for a month
01:14and really just gets down to my whole problem with all of this,
01:18which is silly.
01:19I don't really understand this system,
01:22and it's silly that we have to wait for these conference championships.
01:27Do they matter?
01:28Do they not matter?
01:29To Alabama, they don't.
01:31To BYU, they do.
01:32I guess because they're looking at it and they're saying,
01:35hey, it's a Georgia rubber match.
01:37Like, you know, it does the...
01:39So, basically, them getting their ass kicked doesn't matter,
01:41but them also relating back to FSU beating them does matter.
01:45It does matter for the Canes getting in,
01:47but also the Canes winning against Notre Dame.
01:50It's just, it's weird to me.
01:51I don't understand it.
01:53Manny Diaz is also somehow a conference champion
01:55before the Miami Hurricanes,
01:57which is just very infuriating.
01:59But also, did it kind of help the Canes?
02:00I think it, I was going to say,
02:02as much as I hated to see it,
02:03because I hated to see it,
02:06it definitely helped the Canes
02:08because I think that, obviously,
02:11if Virginia would have won,
02:12they would have been that bid where James Madison is at.
02:16And that would have been a few...
02:17And then there would have been no ACC teams.
02:19Right.
02:20If...
02:21Which would have cost the ACC money.
02:23It would have cost the ACC money,
02:24and I think that the college football playoff
02:26would have to answer, like, a lot of questions on that.
02:29And I don't think you could leave out
02:30a Power Five conference like that.
02:32Like, I just, I think that Duke winning
02:35was the best case scenario.
02:36I think Alabama winning was the best case.
02:38I mean, losing was the best case scenario for Miami.
02:40It all just worked in their favor.
02:41Everything went their way.
02:42It went their way.
02:43It didn't go their way the weekend prior,
02:45but it went their way this past weekend.
02:47I don't feel like anything should have had to go their way
02:49because they should have been ranked above Notre Dame
02:52even before all of this.
02:54But whatever.
02:55I mean, now, I guess it's cemented everything.
02:58I think that's the issue.
02:59Like, as much as I'm going to be, like,
03:02take a step back as a homer and be like,
03:04if I was Notre Dame, I would be kind of upset
03:07because they never put Miami ahead of Notre Dame
03:11in any of the rankings.
03:13And then you come out on Selection Sunday,
03:15and all of a sudden, they're ahead.
03:17You drop two spots.
03:19You don't even need to drop out,
03:20which is kind of crazy.
03:22And if it happened to Miami, you know,
03:24we have to understand that we would be upset, too.
03:25So as much as I like to see Notre Dame, you know, upset,
03:29I can understand where the college football playoff committee
03:32is just so flawed, and it continues, like, to be flawed,
03:37and it's really annoying.
03:39Schmethan says that ESPN has turned college football
03:41into Love Island.
03:42No, I really feel like it is Love Island.
03:44I also, like, look at that committee,
03:46and I'm just like, these guys, I mean,
03:49they all look like funny-duddies.
03:50You know, it reminds me of, like,
03:52when they chime into the ACC review booth,
03:54and I'm just like, I don't trust any of these guys
03:56and their opinions on this stuff.
03:58Like, we need to have a better committee as it is.
04:01You know, like, we don't put enough stock
04:03into who are on committees.
04:05We don't really just know.
04:06They just send some poor schlub out there
04:08to go talk to ESPN every which way afterwards.
04:12I think the thing with Notre Dame,
04:15this is kind of what they should have been told
04:19the entire time is, like, look,
04:21and this was my issue with them,
04:24is that they kept the records the same,
04:26but they basically said that the Canes
04:27have to work their way up,
04:28which really never made sense.
04:30What they really should have said is, like, look,
04:32the Canes always bleep up at the end of the season.
04:35You guys will eventually pass them,
04:36and instead, they like to do this whole arbitrary,
04:39no, this is who feels like they're better now.
04:42We think, we feel, we just...
04:44No, just, like, in no other sport,
04:46because you know once it comes down to it,
04:48you're never going to be able to do that
04:50unless you're just a complete corrupt rat bastard,
04:53and so I really have no empathy for Notre Dame
04:56because, one, who, other than Alabama,
05:00who gets more passes than them?
05:02I mean, you're talking about the two schools
05:04that, like, get every single, everything
05:06rubbed their way the right way
05:07when they can help it,
05:09and I think that's the thing with Notre Dame right now
05:11is they feel like our birthright was taken away,
05:14and in fact, I saw afterwards,
05:16now they have it in writing
05:19that all they have to be is in the top 12,
05:22and they're going to make the playoff from here on out.
05:24Now, they're probably going to expand the playoff, so...
05:26I think so.
05:27That'll probably, you know, that's just,
05:29they're going to be their solve for everything.
05:30It's more games.
05:31They have to at this point.
05:33It's just, it's too...
05:35They thought 12 was going to fix it.
05:37It's not fixing anything because...
05:38Do they have to fix it, though?
05:39Because, like, here's the problem.
05:41A lot of teams didn't take care of their business,
05:42and you ended up with James Madison
05:44and Tulane in the field.
05:46You know what I mean?
05:47Like, do we really need to do this?
05:48But do you...
05:49But, like, you don't think BYU
05:51deserved to be in the college football playoff?
05:54Um...
05:55If Alabama's in there,
05:57if you're going the criteria of what happened,
05:59what the selections were,
06:02BYU should have been in the college football playoff.
06:04But then we're talking about, like,
06:05we're talking about the idea of
06:06should they get in with an extra spot,
06:08or do you want them to take Alabama's place?
06:10We're more mad about the idea that Alabama...
06:12And by the way, this has been the case
06:14since the BCS.
06:15This has been the case since they started the playoff.
06:18Alabama always gets thrown,
06:20and they get more chances than anybody.
06:22They have basically the Pope of college football
06:25and Nick Saban going up there every single time,
06:27and he comes down on high and decides
06:29who gets the run.
06:31But Alabama's always going to get that
06:33forever and for always.
06:34If they lose to FSU embarrassingly,
06:36it doesn't matter to them.
06:37So it's more of an Alabama problem
06:39than it is a need-more-teams problem.
06:42I mean, like, if you guys want to have more football,
06:43we can have more football.
06:45But I think when we have this many teams
06:47that are in the playoff,
06:48and two of them are basically, like,
06:49you know, Sunbelt and American teams,
06:52like, you know, you barely have an ACC team in there.
06:56I don't know if we need more teams.
06:57I think this was just one of those circumstance years
06:59where, hey, we had things that went the way.
07:02Some team was going to get the spot,
07:04but they lost to another team
07:05that was just up there for a spot.
07:07And that's it.
07:09Like, we're always going to have these times
07:11where some, if we go to 16,
07:13we'll get to a point where,
07:14should we go to 24 teams?
07:16No, I think 16, I think 16 will fix it
07:19because you have more chances for at-large teams to get in.
07:23I just think I have a hard time, like, with BYU
07:26because they have a better record than Alabama.
07:29They had one of the harder schedules
07:30in college football this year,
07:33and they lost to the number four team in the country.
07:38I get you.
07:39Not as bad as Alabama lost to Georgia.
07:42They were embarrassing against Georgia.
07:44They were embarrassing, and they had negative.
07:45I had more rushing yards than them on Saturday.
07:47They basically need to, you know,
07:51either change the ranking system.
07:53Dade South says get rid of preseason rankings.
07:55That might help.
07:56I feel like that helps, yeah.
07:57You know, because it's like,
07:58you can't really deduce how good are these games
08:02until you get to a certain point.
08:05Or, you know, just, I don't know,
08:08like, don't have the rankings
08:09until there's, like, two weeks left.
08:11You know, this whole, like,
08:12why did we need a month of rankings?
08:14I think there's also an issue in the conference championship games.
08:20There's not a clear-cut understanding
08:22of whether or not they're important,
08:25because I still can't answer that for you,
08:26because why was it important for BYU
08:29and not important for Alabama?
08:31I don't understand that,
08:32and no one can answer that question for me.
08:34Oh, I can.
08:35Here, me?
08:36Well, I know it's like Alabama's in the SEC.
08:37I know what you're going to say.
08:38That's it.
08:38That's the reason, though.
08:39You know the reason.
08:40I know the reason,
08:41but it's not a good reason.
08:43That is, but that's never good.
08:44Brittany, if they put,
08:46every SEC team gets an automatic bid,
08:49that would be the only, like,
08:51that's the only way that these jackals will be happy.
08:54And it's exactly what Notre Dame did.
08:57It was like, well, we're going to get it in writing.
08:59It's like, all right, cool.
09:01Why?
09:01Why do you guys get it in writing?
09:03This is the thing that I,
09:04and this is the thing that I find
09:06and found really unbecoming the entire time
09:09as a Canes fan is like the Canes fan,
09:12the Canes program has had a tough 20 years
09:15between trying to come back
09:18from the last greatness that this team had,
09:20this chasing of the drug that is the U is back.
09:23And, but for years,
09:26they're still treated like they're some kind of outsider
09:30compared to the rest of these programs
09:31where these dudes weren't winning national championship,
09:34not Alabama,
09:35but Notre Dame, like,
09:36wasn't winning championships
09:37from the time the forward pass was invented.
09:39And we're sitting here treating them
09:42like they're God's gift of football
09:43because they literally think God has blessed them down
09:46and given them the gift of football,
09:48touchdown Jesus.
09:50And the Canes were sitting here being like,
09:53what do you mean you guys think
09:54you should be in above us?
09:56I don't understand that.
09:57And from the Alabama standpoint,
09:59look, you had Paul Feinbaum up here
10:02before the season being like,
10:04this committee better remember
10:05where their bread is buttered.
10:07And it's like, they're threatening.
10:08Yeah.
10:08And I think the thing with Mario is like,
10:10I give respect to him.
10:13We're like, he didn't really talk anybody down.
10:15He's just like, look,
10:16what do I got to do here?
10:19We won.
10:20And when does that not matter?
10:21It was dumb.
10:22It was dumb from the get go.
10:24Like no other, there's no other sport
10:25that head to head matchup is not always a tiebreaker.
10:28Like it doesn't make any sense,
10:29but I, I blame the call.
10:31I blame the committee.
10:32It's the committee's fault.
10:34Well, they don't know what they're doing.
10:35They don't because Miami should have never,
10:36when we lost to Louisville and to SMU,
10:39we should have never dropped as far as we did ever.
10:42That was a number one,
10:43where their number one issue was
10:44when Notre Dame was 0 and 2,
10:47they should have been at the bottom of the rankings
10:49and had to work them.
10:50They shouldn't have even been ranked.
10:51They shouldn't have even been ranked
10:53if we're being honest.
10:54Exactly.
10:54So it's all,
10:56and then my,
10:56there was never a point
10:57where the committee should have ever put
10:59Notre Dame above Miami.
11:02There's just no way, shape or form.
11:04And that's where you're going to get the pushback on this
11:05and where you're going to get the anger,
11:07like the anger from Notre Dame fans
11:09and the nerd in Notre Dame as a program,
11:11which I'm not going to lie.
11:12If it was me,
11:13I'm going to be,
11:13I'm going to be honest and not be a homer here.
11:17If it was Miami that that happened to,
11:19I would be very upset.
11:20Yeah.
11:20But the only reason that they're upset
11:22is because they feel like they were lied to
11:24by something that was incorrect the whole time.
11:26Like they,
11:27they,
11:27and even,
11:28even the,
11:28the fallout of the arguments that I've seen
11:31from Notre Dame fans,
11:32they don't have an argument against Miami.
11:35Like their argument now all of a sudden shifted
11:37and their argument was stupid
11:39from the,
11:40the entire time to begin with.
11:41Like there was never an argument to be had,
11:43but they acted like there was
11:45and their target should have been the entire time.
11:47Oh,
11:47you guys are going to do the sec thing again.
11:49And they,
11:51they,
11:51they lost sight of it.
11:52They,
11:52their,
11:52I was off the ball on that one.
11:54They're like,
11:55Oh,
11:55Miami and Notre Dame should have teamed up
11:57and gone after Alabama.
11:59Well,
11:59they're not going to team up.
12:00They decided,
12:01they decided to go get lawyers
12:02and you guys are going to put it in writing
12:05and we're going to be getting into the playoff.
12:07Now,
12:07if we're in the top 12
12:09and opt out of the best
12:10in the history
12:12of college football,
12:14you guys think you're above the pop tart bowl.
12:17You guys think you're,
12:18you're above playing for the gold,
12:19the golden domers won't play for the golden toaster.
12:22It's ridiculous.
12:23Ridiculous.
12:23It's ridiculous.
12:24We're going to go focus on,
12:26what are you going to focus on?
12:27You had all last season to focus.
12:29You know what you did?
12:30You lost the first two weeks of the season.
12:32Exactly.
12:33Maybe if you focus less,
12:34you would be better.
