Hoodwinked: CFP Committee's "Logic" Spoils Notre Dame's Championship Hopes
The results are in. Alabama and Miami in, Notre Dame out. Despite having the Irish as a member of the field a mere five days ago, they're now on the outside looking in. What in the hell happened? Where's the logic? Well, the "logic" employed by the committee is flawed. And a subtle switch they made in the penultimate installment of the CFP rankings set Notre Dame up for failure.

Coming into this game, Notre Dame needed to do everything it could to impress the Playoff Committee by demolishing Stanford.

But in the midst of the dominance, Jeremiyah Love took a knee shot t

Ending the Notre Dame-Miami Debate
For the fourth week in a row, the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame are ranked ahead of the Miami Hurricanes despite having the same number of losses, and Miami holding the head-to-head advantage after beating Notre Dame at home by three in week 1. With Miami fans and media pundits, including the official ACC X account, clamoring for justice, now would be a good time to really dive into this argument. Who deserves to be on top?

Bruce's Take - Irish Shutout Syracuse in Dominant Senior Day Performance
Coming into Saturday's contest, Notre Dame was on an eight-game winning streak and fresh off a dominant performance against Pitt. The Irish didn't even play to their full potential and still managed to win 37-15. Syracuse, on the other hand, had not won a game since their 34-21 win over Clemson way back in September. Since then, it has been an absolute trainwreck of losses, resulting in a six-game losing streak for the Orange. Photo via Notre Dame Athletics So, it was expecte

Do the Irish Have a Miami Problem? Analyzing Notre Dame's Current CFP Standing
Coming off a dominant showing against Pitt, Notre Dame stayed put in the newest CFP rankings. Currently ranked ninth in the country, Notre Dame currently resides in a playoff spot, but is Miami's rise in the rankings cause for concern?

Bruce's Take - Notre Dame Pummels Pitt 37-15 in Dominant Road Performance
Coming into this game, there was a lot of weirdness to start the week with Pitt Head Coach Pat Narduzzi stating that "It is not an ACC game. I'd gladly get beaten 103 or 110 -10 in that game. They could put up 100 on us as long as we win the next two after that." Photo via Notre Dame Athletics If that wasn't bad enough, he appeared on the Pat McAfee show and explained that the statement was made because he was "trying to take the pressure off the team," and then followed it u
