I’m still riding high after Michigan’s 2023 National Championship (though I support firing our current head coach right away). This year, we underachieved based on the talent and amount of money we spent on said talent. Now, all I can do is watch and hope that Ohio State loses along the way. As is tradition, TPOL always chimes in on who he thinks should make the playoffs and who will win the coveted title. This post is only to recognize the committee’s courage of keeping Notre Dame out.
The only argument for keeping ND in is because ND was ranked ahead of Miami going into last weekend. How can they suddenly be ‘worse’ by not playing, pundits argued? If I were an ND fan, I would ask the same thing. The reality is that ND lost to Miami, playing head-to-head. That’s all that matters. To that end, the committee needs to stop releasing these rankings weekly. They mean nothing until the last snap is snapped.
In short, duck Ohio State. I’ll be cheering for Tulane, James Madison, and Ole Miss.
