Give Sonny thirteen 4-star transfers this off-season, and JM one, and I think Sonny would beat JM next year and do just fine.

Does Cody Campbell come with him? If not, I'll probably take Dykes to be honest. They've been mediocre until this year when they bought their team.

Look at what he did before he got the unlimited resources. Nothing. Dykes is 3-1 head to head.

Sorry. 2-1 head to head

TCU appears to be taking the pretty low ceiling route unfortunately.

They were in the Armed Forces Bowl at AGS last year and had a bigger following than I would've thought.

Think it's just playoffs and goes back to atleast the days of future North Texas HC Todd Dodge.

you raise an interesting point.
I watch one pro team, and usually not all of it. I sometimes watch two others.
I watch a lot of teams in college football.

Agreed. But I knew of him when he was coaching high school and had two retired NFL players standing next to me watching and heard them say the man knew how to coach. So some bias.
McGuire is also a solid guy. From the limited experience I had around him, it was obvious.

The CFP committee thinks James Madison, North Texas, Tulane and Houston are better football teams than the Frogs. AP voters and Coaches do to, and include SMU.

Notre Dame is a better team than Miami according to the committee last Tuesday. Ranked #10 and Miami #12. So what changed? Neither team played this weekend. Greg McElroy concluded ND is a top five team - Most of the pundits would say ND is the better team. Vegas would too. As I suggested the other day, the committee might finagle an explanation to flip ND and Miami to save the ACC if Duke wins.
The last moment flip to make it about head-to-head is horse pucky - a three point loss on Miami’s home field on August 31; the first game of the season. Yards were about even and ND had a fumble and interception to no turnovers by Miami. The committee was aware of this week one head-to-head and this thus punctuates that the committee thinks ND is the better team, having dismissed that week one game - had all season! Until now.
Neither ND nor Miami had difficult schedules, both beating Pittsburgh easily enough but ND defeating #16 USC by ten points in the middle of the season.
The losses…
Besides the week one head-to-head, ND lost in week 2 to Texas A&M 41-40, a playoff team. They then won 10 straight to finish.
Miami lost to Louisville and SMU in the middle third of the season!
I thought the committee was suppose to pick the best at-large teams to fill in the bracket; not defer to the ACC campaign and maybe its ESPN TV partner.
Many feel ND would have been a contender for the Championship. I don't root for Notre Dame, but I just don't like the appearance of shenanigans here - credibility for the future. If Virginia had defeated Duke as was assumed, then the committee would not have finagled this change in the standings and I bet most agree - Virginia would have been in as the ACC rep, along with ND. Miami and James Madison would have been out.
Both the AP and Coaches poll still have ND ahead of Miami.
The CFP committee has blown its credibility, so we better go to sixteen teams and eliminate the damn byes. Vandy and Texas would have been good to see in this playoff too - I liked Vandy!

Get rid of the byes by going to 8. Won’t happen. I know.
Seems to me like it was a situation where there was quite a bit of SEC influence for Alabama not to drop out, and they probably didn't want to put both Alabama and Notre Dame in, for optics.
ND definitely got the shaft. According to projected lines, either the 3rd or 4th best team in the country, and they don't get one of 10 spots? I think they should have been above Miami for the reasons you state, but I know they should have been ahead of Alabama. They were without a doubt a better team than both OU and Ole Miss, those are the two teams that got in that just didn't get questioned at all, and that stinks quite a bit. They don't pay near enough attention to point margins.

they have a pretty rabid fan base. mainly due to the success of recent years. kinda like NDSU and some of the other FCS heavyweights.
