Notre Dame vs The World

[Chip]

For the sake of board history, let it be known that “Notre Dame vs The World” was not the title I started this thread with, and I’m deeply offended that someone changed it to such a boring subject line.

I would have called it: Touchdown Grievance.

Yeah, when I saw that I started the Malachi James to the portal thread I thought I don’t remember that. But I do drink a lot.

Can't get behind the pay wall but do they say who the genius was that came up with that tiebreaker system? Maybe they need a new commish.

Something like that wouldn’t be a one person decision.

“The league adopted its tiebreaker policies after scrapping divisions ahead of the 2024 season. Phillips said the policy was “unanimously supported.”

“Who knew that we would get to the seventh tiebreaker with five teams that were 6-2? The stars aligned in a way that nobody predicted,” Phillips said from the SBJ Intercollegiate Athletics Forum.”

All the other conferences had straightforward logical solutions to deal with the unexpected if it were to occur. It's their job to expect the unexpected. The ACC didn't get the memo. Consequently we have a 21+ point dog in the CFP.

They had 7 tie breakers. Not everything is foreseeable.
