Speaking on his eponymous podcast, Fox Sports' lead college football analyst Joel Klatt said the playoff committee needs to honor Miami's season-opening win over Notre Dame or what are we doing? The College Football Playoff committee has defended Notre Dame being ranked ahead of Miami in the last two weeks.
CFP committee chair emeritus, Baylor athletic director Mack Rhoades, stated after the first two releases of the rankings that Miami needs more consistency and that Notre Dame is playing better now. Rhoades resigned earlier this week from the CFP committee after a report that he had a sideline involving Baylor coaches.
