Another College Football Playoff ranking, another week of debate over how Notre Dame is higher in the rankings than Miami. On Tuesday night, CFP Committee Chair Hunter Yurachek offered up a new explanation for why the Fighting Irish are in better standing than the Hurricanes.
Many, many Miami fans and supporters have argued for weeks that the 'Canes should be higher than the Irish because they won the head-to-head matchup. Yurachek said on Tuesday that for now, the committee isn't really using that win. Though it could eventually.
Yurachek said they put the teams into "pods," and because Notre Dame and Miami are far apart in the rankings, they're not in the same pod.
