StFuzzySlippers 7 Yes, I do believe head to heads matter. I just don't believe they should be used as trump cards—especially when those games take place early in the season and are very close. Notre Dame has just looked better than TAMU and Miami over the last 10 games. Simple as.

LightningDusty 9 ↑2 Notre Dame got fucking hosed. Make the arguments about whether they deserved to be in all you want. I can understand the argument for Miami to be in, even if I disagree with it. The sudden rug pull was disgusting, though. Why have ND ranked ahead for all those weeks if you didn't truly consider them better than Miami? What a total lack of consistency and integrity on the committee's part. They're a total joke. I wouldn't want to play in a bowl either if that happened.

_THE__BOULDER_ 10 Going into CCG week, I had Alabama and BYU ranked above Miami and ND. The only reason I have ND here is because both of those teams got their butts kicked in their CCGs. I generally believe teams shouldn't get punished for playing an extra game and losing, but when you get beaten that badly, it can be tough to justify (more on my thoughts on losing in CCGs at the top). With that in mind, I put ND above Alabama and BYU. To be honest, Alabama has the #10 SOR and #6 SOS, while BYU has the #9 SOR and #22 SOS. Both of these are better than ND or Miami and there are absolutely arguments they should be kept in the dance. The only reason I moved them down is because they got bounced by 3+ scores in the SEC and Big 12 Championships.
