Head to head matters: Miami takes final at-large playoff spot over Notre Dame

After heated debate and weeks of anticipation, the wait is finally over and the debate has been decided. The Miami Hurricanes are going to the college football playoff as the 10 seed in the College Football Playoff bracket.

Miami got the nod over Notre Dame and BYU as the first two at-large teams out of the bracket.
