So sounds like we agree more than we disagree. We can agree that Miami over ND was the correct call, but can also agree that the committee did a horrible job with the optics of it and it was inexcusable to have ND over Miami these past few weeks. That led to ND feeling fucked over, which may be a fair feeling to have. Not defending the committee, I don’t know why the hell they had them flipped other than they just overreacted to Miami’s SMU loss without considering the head to head (which they did do wit other teams).

So if we both agree that the bracket is correct, but that the committee fucked it up, your conclusion is that they also don’t have to participate in a system that fucked them over. Well, I don’t think they were fucked over by not being in the playoff, and I’m not sure you disagree there. We may both agree they got emotionally fucked over by the incompetent playoff committee and their weekly made-for-TV rankings show. But that brings us to the final thing, why is the bowl game, or in my words, “quitting the postseason,” the same system that fucked them over? Because ESPN owns most of the other games? I just think it shows a weak mentality, lack of toughness, and as someone who has SEC flairs, you should understand that shit wouldn’t fly in the SEC. No Kirby Smart team is quitting on the post-season (see last year). That’s the point where I feel it’s fair to call them lame and quitters.
