That's obvious, but your "act of god on gods green earth, luck of the Irish, axis coordinates, yada yada" makes no sense when just this season, ND controlled their own destiny. They most likely would have been #2 in the CFP rankings after a Miami win and Georgia losing the same week. So you really think they would have dropped at least 3 spots out of the top 4 by beating Navy and Stanford while Alabama lost to Auburn and played freakin Mercer? I'd love to see an example in the history of college sports where a team ranked 1 or 2 in a poll dropped three spots WITHOUT losing. They lost a golden opportunity this year. Given the way things played out, they were in if they took care of business. No "act of god" needed. [/QUOTE]
