Totally disagree. The committee is highly influenced by weak schedules (why Indiana dropped), and reacts wildly to non-SEC teams getting good wins and bad losses that change the SOS.
Miami is by finishing 3-1 (in any order).
If either Wake Forest or SMU win out, they should be in the field (considering that SMU would get a ND win) even without an ACCCG auto bid.
The CFP committee is announcing, very loudly, that the ACC is not getting two teams in under any circumstances.

If Skydance wants to save DC, focus on a supreme antagonist that requires several movies (culminating in Justice League) to defeat the bad guy. Like Magneto was for Xmen. And don't make it Lex Luthor or Joker. Probably should be a Batman movie with a recognizable villain that at the end it's revealed is working on behalf of Darkseid.
Similarly, if Disney wants to save Star Wars, focus on Thrawn and Darth Plageuis, depending on the timeline.
Epic comic and sci-fi series require epic antagonists. Why do you think Star Trek heroes keep fighting the Borg and talking with Q? Do you think Jon Snow is the reason GOT was popular? LOTR references are more so Eye of Sauron or Gollum rather than Frodo or Gandolf.
Marvel was a bit of an exception in Phase 1, and honestly RDJ was a big reason for that. It's rare to find such a perfect hero casting (how many Batmans have we had...). But even Marvel couldnt reach it's heights without Loki and Thanos. Xmen wouldn't be so popular without Magneto.
So ends this Nerd Ted Talk.

It's a good deal, but still no Monster Energy patch
Nike's apparel deal with Miami includes a clause that doesn't allow anyone to pay Florida or Florida State more than the Hurricanes.
$130M in cash + $68.5M in product... I have the contract: bit.ly/4ksc3pV

Notre Dame and their awful loss to BYU is going to drag Miami down in the CFP rankings. Just watch...

Way too early prediction on 2026-27 CFP field:
SEC (8): Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina, Mississippi St., Florida
Big Ten (6): Indiana, UCLA, Ohio State, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Iowa
ACC (4): Miami, Duke, SMU, North Carolina
Big XII (4): Texas Tech, Utah, Houston, Oklahoma St.
Other (2): Notre Dame, Oregon St.
This field was formulated through same, highly scientific methodology as our economic leaders youtube.com/watch?v=iXYv0mdQ…
494
Based on SEC flex schedule, Miami v. VT is probably 12pm on ABC or maybe 7pm on ESPN.
Most of the Big XII is also under 6-day hold, but none feature ranked matchups. Utah at TCU is probably their best game, and Miami v. VT should outdraw that.
Also, decent chance GameDay comes to Miami. The other options aren't strong.
Teams that haven't hosted GameDay yet this year:
- South Carolina (v. Georgia)
- Missouri (v. Kentucky)
- Washington (v. Indiana)
- Michigan (v. UCLA)
- TCU (v. Utah)
Teams that have already hosted GameDay:
- Tennessee (v. LSU)
- Texas (v. Arkansas)
- Notre Dame (v. SMU)
Another option:
- FCS No. 2 Montana State (vs. No. 12 Montana)
This would be GameDay's second trip to Bozeman, MT for the Brawl of the Wild. The first trip was November, 2022 when there were no FBS top 10 games that weekend.
Getting a 3 loss team from the SEC into the playoffs seems very unlikely. They'd have to take down a top team or two AND jump in front of 2 loss Kentucky and 2 loss BYU, who are probably on the outside looking in atm.
LSU has a chance b/c they still face Texas and Tennessee.
Missouri also has a chance b/c they still face Georgia and Kentucky.
IDK if South Carolina beating Georgia is enough for them. Maybe. They're ahead of Tennessee on H2H, but behind Kentucky and Alabama.
Ole Miss is probably already eliminated absent massive chaos.
But what are the odds of LSU or Missouri getting two top 12 upsets? Very, very low.
...and thank goodness. 4 SEC teams is more than enough this year. Maybe even one too many.

FONG BOMB: Rivals' @SWiltfong_ has logged an expert prediction for Miami to land Five-Star Plus+ OT Mark Matthews🙌
Matthews recently decommitted from Texas A&M.
Read: on3.com/rivals/news/nations-…
I don't think anyone could complain about this playoffs:
SEC: Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Tennessee
Big Ten: Indiana, UCLA
ACC: Miami, Wake Forest
Big XII: Utah, Texas Tech
Other: Notre Dame, Boise St
Fun exercise. Mostly happy with my rankings. Wake Forest needs way more love and Bama way overrated.
5 SEC teams would be wild. Probably would put ND and/or a third Big XII team in the field over LSU and Tennessee atm.
Fans ranked college football teams based on blind resumes, and the results look a little different from the CFP committee's 👀
📈 Boise State (+7)
📉 Alabama (-10)

The last time No. 1 Miami played the No. 11 team was the 1992 Orange Bowl - a 22-0 shutout of Nebraska

The year is 2028.
A'mir Sears, Brysen Wright, and Nick Lennear are carrying forward the Miami standard they learned throughout their freshman season from Malachi Toney.
Preseason All American tackles Jackson Cantwell and Ben Congdon anchor the offensive line. It's their 'money year' before they turn pro, hopefully as first round draft picks.
Javion Mallory looks closer to Frank Gore Jr. than the actual Frank Gore Jr.
The offense would be a top 5 offense if a janitor was QB, but Mario's brought in an SEC QB with 20 games under his belt to compete with former 5* QB recruit Israel Abrams. Whoever wins the job will lead the greatest Hurricanes offense of all time.
Michael Irvin needs a new belt b/c he's worn out the old one. He buys one just before the Notre Dame game (the next time the Irish are scheduled to play the Hurricanes)

Miami moves up from No. 3 to No. 2 in Rivals 2027 Team Rankings with 5* WR Brysen Wright commitment.
Wright was the No. 1 WR in the 2028 class, and in re-classifying Rivals gave him the No. 3 WR rank and No. 11 overall nationally for 2027)
Easily Mario's highest ranked class, surpassing his No. 5 ranked class in 2024 (Justin Scott, Armondo Blount, Marquise Lightfoot, Jordan Lyle, Markell Bell, Elija Lofton, OJ Frederique, Ryan Mack, Booker Pickett, Jo Jo Trader, Ny Carr)
