Episode Description

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss Notre Dame’s CFP snub, the school’s decision to decline all bowl games and whether the Fighting Irish were unfairly left out despite a dominant 10-game winning streak.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish finished their season with a 10-2 and riding a dominant 10-game winning streak, but the College Football Playoff committee still left them out of the 12-team field, ranking them No. 11. Miami claimed the final at-large spot instead, largely because of its early-season head-to-head win over the Irish. The decision sparked major backlash and the school even declined all bowl invitations in protest. Did Notre Dame get screwed by the College Football Playoff committee? Is Notre Dame making the right decision?
