Mario Cristobal has made appearances on several college football shows this week to state the case for Miami to make the playoff. Among the appearances Cristobal made were the Andy and Ari Show on On3, Bear Bets hosted by Miami alum Chris "Bear" Fallica and Mac and Murray.
Cristobal has stated that Miami deserves to be in the CFP with a win over Notre Dame and an identical 10-2 record with the Fighting Irish. Miami defeated Notre Dame 27-24 in the season opener. Cristobal has continually pointed out Miami had bigger scoring margins than Notre Dame against three of their four common opponents.
