Bit off-topic, but can we PLEASE for the love of god stop putting Notre Dame in these games. I know it wasn't a blowout loss, but literally everyone and their mother expected Alabama to win that convincingly. Notre Dame benefitted from playing Clemson without Lawrence the first time in which they still only barely beat them in OT, then got blown out by Clemson again with Lawrence yet still were #4.
Also I know Ohio State had a great win over Clemson, but the fact that they got in at #3 despite only playing 6 games just doesn't fit well with me. Teams like Texas A&M and Oklahoma IMO were more deserving as they played all their games (10-11 games) and had quality wins too along the way.
If anything, expanded playoffs HAS to be a thing. Should have been this season with COVID, but going forward an 8-team playoff is needed. Can't believe it's still not a thing. It's unfair to a handful of teams.
