You don't think in a national title context, in a year where teams cant play other P5s, that it's a self fulfilling destiny to pre-rank two teams highly, then reward them for playing each other twice regardless of outcome?
Do you think Notre Dame has looked like a top 4 elite? And if not, then why should they be in the top 4 if they lose? You've said you think Miami would beat them straight up, so I'm guessing no.
IMO if Clemson loses, they're out. But they won't lose. Which is why you're already hearing the pr and propaganda for why ND should get in regardless of the outcome of the ACCCG.
