The 12-team bracket for the College Football Playoff was released on Sunday, and the biggest surprise was that Notre Dame got left out of the tournament.
Through the weekly CFP rankings, one of the controversies was that Notre Dame was ranked ahead of Miami despite the Hurricanes beating them in a head-to-head matchup earlier this season. Notre Dame and Miami were two teams on the CFP bubble, and despite neither team playing during conference championship weekend, the CFP committee decided to flip the two teams following BYU’s Big 12 championship game loss, resulting in Miami making the Playoff over Notre Dame.
