If Bama doesn’t drop behind ND the whole thing is absolutely rigged.

Comical watching Herbstreit all day long say BYU should be penalized for getting blown out but Alabama shouldn’t. Guy was saying it before the SEC championship even happened. Sad to see. The ESPN SEC bias is outrageous they don’t even try to hide it.

You can’t have a team that lost 2 of their last 4 and barely beat a 5-7 team in.

Alabama should absolutely not be in the playoffs. Spare me the “A conference Championship loss shouldn’t hurt you” If you’re getting beat by 21 points by a playoff team then you’re not a playoff team.

ESPN Memo to all employees… “Any analysts or broadcasters mentioning the FSU-Alabama game or suggesting that Alabama could be left out of the playoff in the next 14 hours will terminated during the next annual layoffs. Be warned.”

This is the worst selection committee we've ever had. Cannot believe Alabama didn't even drop one spot after the SEC title game blowout. Cannot believe they waited until the final reveal to flip Miami-ND. Could have done it at ANY point.

If you hate ND and want to celebrate today that’s fine. Just know that you have no integrity and don’t care about the sport because anyone who cares about competition & having the best 12 teams in should want Notre Dame in the playoff. If you don’t it’s because you lack character

Today’s precedent: Bama is only team to lose its conference championship and not drop a single spot in the playoffs. Anyone who thinks Yesterday’s bama team is better than Notre Dame doesn’t watch film.

Notre Dame got fucked over by the College Football Playoff and ESPN ESPN has hundreds of millions of dollars in deals with the SEC and ACC and a 7.8 billion dollar deal with the CFP the FIX was in = every ESPN talking head pushed their narrative to the finish line. COMPLETE BULLSHIT

Week 1 mattered to Notre Dame and Miami. It didn’t matter to Alabama. CCG mattered to drop BYU. It didn’t matter to Alabama. You don’t hate ESPN and the CFP committee enough.

Hot take: The Committee protected the SEC (and their own anuses) in the opening rounds. Oklahoma-Alabama is a rematch of a snooze fest instead of Oklahoma-Miami and Texas A&M-Alabama to ensure at least one of their two teams with the worst cases to be in the playoff, is making it

Former Alabama QB Greg McElroy on ESPN just now: "Frankly, if Notre Dame is in this field, I think they’re a top-two, maybe top-three favorite to win the whole dang thing." #NotreDame College Football Playoff

I don’t ever want to hear about how Notre Dame gets favoritism ever again.

In the last three years... There's been 16 conference championship game losers that were ranked in the CFP Top 25 entering the game. 15 of the 16 losers dropped in the next poll. The lone exception...the 2025 Alabama Crimson Tide.

Alabama is the only team in CFP history (2014-2025) to not drop any spots after losing in their conference championship

Not giving ESPN the ability to have an ND bowl game on TV >>>>

So folks at ESPN are upset ND isn’t playing in a bowl game after weeks of folks politicking against the lack of conference affiliation, using them as a pawn for their CFB playoff selection show, having the ACC network play the UM/ND game on repeat for 48 hours during Conf Champ

Arkansas started their season 2-2 with losses to Ole Miss by 6 and Memphis by 1 when Notre Dame Football visited for 1st time. Atmosphere was like their SB. ND crushed them 56-13 and their AD, Hunter Yurachek, fired their coach that day. Same Hunter who led the committee. Just sayin.

Last, but certainly not least, stands the CCW strikeout king 👑 to close out our milestone series accounting for benchmarks met during the 2025 season! Will Smithey stands alone at the top of the CCW K list with 8️⃣5️⃣8️⃣ and is well on his way to 1K in the next couple seasons.

Happy Birthday John Hendry!!
