The REAL Reason Notre Dame Is Ahead Of Miami in the CFP Rankings | HARD PASS Ep. #68The Miami vs Notre Dame battle for a College Football Playoff spot is coming down to the WIRE … and Doug Kezirian breaks down Miami’s best path to get in and WHY Notre Dame is ahead of them right now.The ACC Network kicked off rivalry week with an all-time troll job, re-airing Miami’s win over Notre Dame EIGHT times to remind everyone of the head-to-head result fueling the outrage. But Doug explains why CFP rankings are never that simple, why head-to-head is not the only criteria, and why College Football’s legendary inefficiency plays a massive role in the Irish sitting ahead of the Hurricanes.Doug lays out the Committee logic, why Miami’s two bad losses hold them back, why not all 10–2 records are created equal, and why style points, metrics, and résumés matter just as much as the on-field result. Plus, he breaks down the ONE scenario where Miami could still make a late push.Do you think Miami deserves to jump Notre Dame?
