The talk of the college football world this weekend surrounded Notre Dame getting left out of the playoff, despite the school putting together an impressive season that saw them finish 10-2 and clinch a few standout wins.
Notre Dame finished with the same record as Miami, who beat the Fighting Irish, 27-24, months ago back in Week 1. Still, it didn't seem like the College Football Playoff committee put a lot of weight in that head-to-head game given that Notre Dame was ranked above Miami in every CFP ranking for the last month.
