Sending a message to 18-22 year olds. Thats fn pathetic
What advantage does ND get by not playing in a conference championship??? ND can never be higher than a 5 seed and can’t get a bye .. and NO OTHER TEAM THAT PLAYS IN A CONF CHAMPIONSHIP CAN BE ELIMINATED IF THEY LOSE ?? So what are they talking about?? . It seems like ND is getting penalized for not playing in a game that has no risk ?? So stupid
Well he's wrong because playing in a conf championship clearly doesn't matter. You know why? Because they didn't punish Bama for getting destroyed. So if ND played in the ACCCG it wouldn't affect them. Oh right the committee screwed BYU
Miami definitely cannot win the whole thing. They weren’t even good enough to play in their conference championship game.
So you let a three loss team in from the SEC that got beat up by a lousy Florida State team. BS and everybody listening knows it’s BS. Alabama has no business being in there but let’s keep ESPN in the SEC happy.
He’s not wrong
Why did he lie about the. Winning the whole thing 😂😂😂
A 3 loss Alabama team should've never gotten in.😤
If ND were 11-1, they’d be in. So, Kannell is once again spouting nonsense.
You're not even drinking the kool-aid. You're drinking the antifreeze if you think miami can win it all. Stop talking with the real men about football. Put on a cute little dress with squirrel covers and a trainer bra.
Said this about ND over 10 years ago way before this stupid playoff format. Either join a conference, or be left out of a top bowl game if you dont go undefeated. Funny how everyone is whining and crying now 😂😂
Notre Dame has been catered to all their life because they "Notre Dame"! Bet they wish they joined a conference now. Greed kills!! Bout time they stood up to the golden boys!!!
What's funny is these announcers are so clueless they can't connect the dots thst are right in from of them. Espn will rake in the $$$$ because of the deal they have with the sec and acc. Notre dame has a seperate contract with a competitor. You guy stop your BS. It's not about football. The committee is in ESPNs poclet!!
Miami has zero percent chance of winning the Chip. Moron hack
Well said!!!! ND stop crying and join a conference. 😂
There is not a single legitimate argument that can made for putting Notre Dame in the playoff. The playoff committee needs to tell Notre Dame point blank that if you don't play a legitimate schedule, you will never be in the playoffs.
That Sass after: Miami is a team that could win the whole thing.
This is Saban’s response to Gillis. He asking who’s laughing now funny boy? LMAO. All this whining from a fan base who hasn’t seen a title since 1988. Love it
Who ever this girl is, she should be a news reporter cause she doesn’t know dick about football.
Chuck yoy, fool
Wait, what advantage does ND have if conference championships dont count in the final decision Get this creepy mouthpiece off the air He stinks
Punish this mouthy bigot Get him off the air
Miami won't win any of it games
Miami cannot win .. Not even in the first round. They like Alabama, Tulane, and James Madison simply do not belong.
HOW ON EARTH can you call a "Conference Championship" an advantage when Alabama lost by 21 and didn't even fall one position, but if they won they clinched and would have moved way up. Miami didn't even MAKE their Conference game and lost to TWO conference teams who ALSO didn't make it. Spare us your Conference crap.
Dumb
The controversy isn't (or shouldn't be) between Miami and Notre Dame; it's between Notre Dame and Alabama. If Notre Dame shouldn't "benefit" from not having to play in a conference championship (the flip side of that coin is they also can never build their case for being selected by winning a conference championship), Alabama shouldn't benefit from getting demolished in its conference championship. If conference championships are to have any meaning in relation to being selected, teams who play in those games have to take the good with the bad. There should be consequences to losing those games as badly as Alabama did. That seemed to be the case with BYU''s exclusion after it lost the Big 12 Championship by a margin similar to the margin by which Alabama lost the SEC Championship — and that was only BYU's 2nd loss of the season (both losses to Texas Tech). Alabama should have suffered the same fate.
ESPN cost themselves 50 mill.
Do not just send a message to ND for not playing in a conference Championship: send messages to all of those SEC and Big 10 teams that did not play in a conference championship. Every team in the SEC team is entitled to the best of both worlds. What are the odds that no SEC or Big 10 team makes to the finals. When nine teams from two conferences, how is this fair to other conferences. The is clear: if you want to make the playoff, join the SEC or Big 10.
Join a conference. Didn't want Notra Dame in the playoffs anyway
I recently stumbled upon a sports analyst, and I'm surprised at the salary he's receiving, especially considering his qualifications. It’s hard to believe he would even meet the criteria for a basic retail job. I encourage you to check out his discussions about Oklahoma and the playoffs. His commentary often leaves me scratching my head. As sports fans, we should be aware of the misinformation out there, and he's definitely one of the less credible voices in the industry. This situation makes CBS Sports feel more like a platform for validation rather than a source of dependable sports news. Listening to him speak, it's evident that the insights shared tend to lack depth and objectivity.
No one is forcing any team to play in a conference. If its such an advantage for ND, why does no one else do it?
NOTRE DAME MAKES 100 OF MILLION DOLLARS OF NBC EVERY YEAR AND ITS ALL THERS THAT WHAT PISSEM OFF .THEY BEAT THE HELL OUT OF EVERYONE BUT OHIO STATE.
James Madison and Tulane, why are they in the playoffs? Explain that what bunch of douche bags.
Well said.
typing this as oregon is beating jmu 27-3 halfway thru the 2nd qtr and just earlier tulane got absolutly smoked by ole miss 41-10. miami won by 3 but theres no way these 2 games should have been played. vandy and nd should have been in and u really think the CFP committe owes every college football fan an apology and a promise to fix this trash
well they got it wrong again because Tulane and JMU had no business being in the playoffs. total joke
Just jealous that your team can't get a TV CONTRACT like NOTREDAME!
You did a terrible job and forced other people to respect it? CFP committee, you messed it up!
Only message the Committee sent is they're crooked, corrupt and putting Tulane & JMU in the CFP was a HUGE boneheaded decision in college football history! Whole Committee is nothing more than stupid sucktards!!!
The whole thing is stupid. I’m going to say what nobody wants to say. Top 12 teams in. Everyone arguing conferences matter but Duke isn’t in the playoffs. So how important is a conference championship if the conference champion isn’t in the playoffs? So it mattered to get James Madison & Tulane in, but not Duke? And for everyone who supports the ACC know that they are full of shit as well. A Virginia/North Carolina game didn’t count as conference game because of a rivalry. Moving forward FSU/Miami games should never count as well. If I was either one of them schools as well. So again this conference conversation has to end. No James Madison/Tulane and maybe Alabama at 12 with the 3 losses. BYU at 11, Notre Dame and Miami however at 9 & 10 and that James Madison/Tulane have there asses at home with Duke. Everyone arguing conferences matter, conference championships matter and the ACC champion is at home!!! Make that shit make sense!!! And if people wanna really argue really stand on business and keep Tulane/James Madison in, add the ACC champion Duke & then add BYU. No Alabama, Miami, Notre Dame, all together. Because that is actually what they should’ve done since Tulane & James Madison got in. So everyone just gotta stop with the conferences being so important when this is now twice that an ACC champion has not been in the playoffs. Undefeated FSU 2023 was left out that year because a player got hurt 😂😂😂😂😂, so their whole season became irrelevant, nothing that they did that whole season mattered because they wanted the best teams playing, so with that being said if it’s about conference championships then Duke has to be in, and if it’s about the best teams, then Tulane/James Madison need to be at home!!!
I agree … message sent: even though you are deserving of a playoff berth, we will put another team less deserving in your place … GOT IT !!!
BOYCOTT CFP PLAYOFFS!!
BOYCOTT CFP PLAYOFFS!!

3 weeks later and he doesn't look like such a fool 😂 The committee is the ones that look foolish now. 😂 There is an excellent chance that the championship will be between Indiana and Miami. 😂
That Notre Dame Rat Rolled Her Eyes
No way Tulane should have been in over the Irish. They need to have 6 teams be able to prove they should be there by playing their way in!
