@ArminRosen Watching a bunch of out of shape and out of practice performers try to nostalgia blast us was comical in 2022, but I wouldn’t say it was good by any means. Like…they barely got through it. I thought 50 was gonna keel over.

Actually here's the ranking

2) Usher (2024)
3) Rihanna (2023)
4) J-Lo and Shakira (2020)
5) Bad Bunny (2026)
6) The Weeknd (2021)
7) Kendrick (2025)

It was generously the third-best halftime show of the current decade (last night was great but Usher and the 2023 LA rap spectacular were both *obviously* better. Rihanna might've been better too) x.com/kevinmyoung/st…

Without a doubt, the best Halftime Show I’ve ever seen. A true celebration of an American culture that few of us ever witness. I didn’t understand much of what they were saying, but I didn’t need to. They said it all without having to sing a word. It was intimate, rather than a spectacle; handheld cameras in the middle of people who were happy and joyful. Color and excitement everywhere. No sweeping stadium shots or reliance on shock and awe. Just us, you and me, in the middle of a party that we didn’t deserve to be invited to, but were anyway. Hospitality. True welcome. A reminder to the world that our nation *IS* more than white dudes wrapped in business suits, confederate flags, and Bible drag… we are much more. At least, we SHOULD be more than that… and the better part of us is.
English
If this is true then we have a systematic issue with “rankings” in college football that needs to be addressed.
Nicole Auerbach@NicoleAuerbach
People will probably overreact to this stat (if it holds). But in most of the QF games, it’s been simple — the better team won the game. They could move the whole CFP up a week to shorten the long layoff for teams, though.
English
lol. QBs throwing directly to DBs. 9 TOs. This is not good football.
Chris Vannini@ChrisVannini
This game is only "boring" if you don't appreciate good defense. Both defenses have been tremendous and you gotta appreciate that.
English
Kind of sort of tired of reporters telling us this. Did the Same with OU/Bama. Fans know when they see this type of game…this ain’t it. TTU offense isn’t competent. Is some of that ORE D? Sure, but that isn’t the majority of the it. Just plain bad football on one side.

@colecubelic Since January 1, 2025 that team has played 15 games, all under the gun of win-or-else. In that time they’ve had injuries that affected draft stocks and even next season. They don’t anyone anything; certainly not to play an exhibition game. It’s their call to say “nah, no thanks.”
English
When folks reference bowls as "meaningless" & "for nothing" due to no conference or national title at stake...
How much of the regular season are they also immediately discounting?
English
@ChaseDaniel No because NDs boss sat at the table and demanded it. Texas and Vandys boss agreed to it didn’t demand the same for them. That’s the difference
English
Waiiiiiit a minute….so how about Texas or Vandy?
Or anyone else for that matter? But because Notre Dame isn’t in a conference, they get this??
Ross Dellenger@RossDellenger
A newsy wrinkle from Bevacqua: As part of an MOU signed last spring, Notre Dame is assured of a CFP berth if it is ranked in the top 12 starting next year. If this year’s situation unfolds next year, the final at-large team (Miami) would have gotten bumped for No. 11 Notre Dame.
English
“What kind of message does Notre Dame send?" bowl official told @on3. "We didn’t make the playoffs, so let’s just pack it up & go home. You think BYU’s not upset. Hell ya they are. So are other teams, but they sucked it up. That’s poor leadership.”

The final AP Poll of the regular season:
9. Notre Dame
10. Miami
11. Alabama
The gap between Notre Dame and Miami in voting is bigger than the gap between Miami and Alabama. Notre Dame is also closer to No. 8 Oklahoma in voting than No. 10 Miami.
English
@BudElliott3 @MRIRISH1287 Beat Miami’s PPG by 10 and aTm by 18.
Not sure your point here. Relatively speaking, they beat those defenses up.
English
@MRIRISH1287 You played two real DL all year and lost both times
English
They started Notre Dame way too high.
chris@dadgumboxscores
Bump chart of the CFP rankings over last several weeks, highlighting the paths of Alabama, Notre Dame, and Miami good luck sorting this out
English
@NicoleAuerbach It’s odd concept, but maybe they just thought that is what they were and ranked them appropriately.
English
This is what boxed the committee in. Should have considered what Notre Dame’s remaining schedule looked like and realized they’d likely win out but not play a ton of tough games. Start them lower.
Bud Elliott@BudElliott3
They started Notre Dame way too high.
English
@PeteSampson_ They literally just showed them as a Top 4 seed 😂
English
@notthefakeSVP @chucktodd Should also tell your premier team to not…checks notes…lose to two 4-loss teams?
English
@chucktodd And do what? Maybe take note acc - do what the mountain west did and have your highest rated teams in the championship game and not a 5 loss team.
English
Take note ACC. Actually publicly fight the ESPN/CFP/SEC monopoly

A group of University of Miami supporters are flying a banner near the CFP hotel in Grapevine, TX today. The banner reads "H2H Matters. Miami in."
English
@UT4x_champs @slmandel Can you do comparison of records against 3-9 teams?
English
@slmandel It’s very clear that Texas should be ranked ahead of Notre Dame, unless “prettiest resume” or “analytics” matter more than actual results.
If ND is ahead of Texas simply because they have 2 losses and Texas has 3, then 11-1 James Madison should be ahead of both.
English
The interesting thing about ND is while we're debating whether they should be in the CFP at all, almost every power rating has them as a top-5 team, not borderline Top 10.
Sagarin: No. 2
FPI: No. 3
FEI: No. 4
SP+: No. 5
Massey: No. 6
But, those are predictive, not resume.
English
@ChaseDaniel @chucktodd People saying 10-2 with losses to two 4 loss teams is the same as 10-2 with losses to two teams with a combined 3 lossss is nonsensical even when a H2H exists.
English
I’m just so confused why Notre Dame is in over Miami when they have exactly the same record & similar resumes.
AND Miami beat ND 🤷🏻♂️🤯
Chase Daniel@ChaseDaniel
Thoughts?!? Texas is definitely out & same with Vandy
English
Miami fans deal with Manny Diaz making the championship game before them, blaming Jim Phillips, and refusing to look in the mirror follow losses to 2, four-loss teams 😂
Chuck Todd@chucktodd
When are more ACC university presidents going to wake up to this problem
English
Imagine having to actually make this argument and then turning around and acting like they’re being denied if they miss the CFP. Making the ACC championship game is the must-be-this-tall-to-ride sign for an ACC CFP team.
Ari Wasserman@AriWasserman
Just pretend it’s COVID and do what the Big Ten did
English
@AriWasserman Losing 2 games to four-loss teams that will end up unranked not mattering is a helluva North Star.
English
This is how I'd do it if I were on the CFP Committee using the results of the games as my North Star.

Ok, how did the Egg Bowl get Facebook as a presenting sponsorship?
English
@AriWasserman @AndyStaples Know why Miami isn’t playing a Top 12 Pitt team this weekend? Bc ND blew # 23 Pitt off the face of the planet. Know why ORE didn’t beat a Top 12 USC team last week? Because ND beat # 20 USC by 10 while rushing for 300 yards. Saying and doesn’t have quality Ws is just fictional.
English
.@AndyStaples plays devil’s advocate on the Notre Dame-Miami discourse

English
@BrooksAustinBA think this out…if MIA doesn’t play ND to start the season they probably end up playing either a midcard G4 or P5. Probably aren’t getting a a T10 team that weekend by chance. So Miami would be 10-2 with no good wins, 2 bad losses, and be ranked like 18th. Maybe don’t sched FCS?
English
If TV viewership is a deciding factor, stats say Miami has drawn a bigger crowd this season.
English
“Notre Dame is only in because they bring ratings”
Uh…
Notre Dame has one game this season ranked inside the the top-20 in viewership…
If the CFP selects them, it’s because they think they are one of the 12 best. Argue that, don’t argue the brand allegiance thing.
