The College Football Playoff bracket is officially set — and the biggest story of the day is the three-team debate everyone is talking about: Notre Dame, Miami, and Alabama.
In this reaction episode, Barrett Sallee and John Michaels break down every angle of the controversy:
🔥 Did Notre Dame get screwed?
The Irish beat big brands, stayed consistent, and still got pushed out of the final CFP field. Was the committee’s decision justified — or a total miss?
🔥 Miami Hurricanes crash the playoff field
For the first time in decades, the Canes are in the national title hunt. Did Miami truly earn their spot, or did the chaos around them open the door?
🔥 Alabama makes the CFP after getting smoked by Georgia
The Tide were blown out 28–7 in the SEC Championship. So how did they still make the bracket? And should they have?
We also dive into:
• Strength of schedule arguments
• Head-to-head that finally mattered
• Why Notre Dame was the “odd team out”
• Whether Alabama’s résumé was overrated
• How Miami flipped the narrative late in the season
• What the new 12-team format gets right — and wrong
This is the MOST controversial CFP bracket yet, and we’re breaking it all down.
