Best team in the country, pedro.Notre Dame looked pretty good. I hope Holliday mopped up afterward.
. Not that the CFP committee will acknowledge that.

That is BS. The Bulldogs took on a Ole Miss team that has been sliding of late. Irish beating the former number one team should have put them ahead of Georgia. Bias!

I'm not the rules guru, but I gotta be honest, I thought that Miami's end zone catch that was ruled incomplete as the guy fell out of bounds looked like a catch to me he had the ball in hand, two feet touched the turf, at least one of the announcers thoughts it was a catch too, but the review guys also called it incomplete, a mystery for the ages I guess. (I am not a fan of Miami, believe you me!)

Actually there was a slight bobble before the punchout and the rules do suggest that the catch was not completed, and the ball wasn't controlled as stated.

BS! Here is my top 5 prediction for The CFP Poll.
#1. Georgia (8-1)
#2. Utah (9-0)
#3. UCLA (9-0)
#4 Indiana (8-1)
#5 Miami (8-1)
Notre Dame (8-1) was #11 last week. Ain't no way their in the top 5. Indiana and Miami played for the championship last year. They should get credit for that accomplishment this year
Yeah. By some means necessary the committee are banking on Texas (Arch Manning) and Notre Dame (That big contract with NBC) making the playoff.

Closely watching there is also a slight movement of the ball as he gets his feet down, so he never had full possession from what I can see.

As he explains it l, I understand the rule, I agree the rule is messy, guys can break the plane and immediately drop the ball and dance or flex and it’s a catch.

....
What do you mean by slight movement of the football?
The only rule that counts is. Once the ball crosses the goal line with control and both feet down its a TD. With all this instant replay technology (cameras and millions of peoples watching) you'd think they could get it right. I'm not sweating MIAMI'S loss. They lost 2-games in the regular season last year and still played for the national championship.

The ball is not in firm grasp as his feet touch the ground, it is rotating between his hands, then the defender makes contact and the ball comes free before the punch. Too bad there isn't a timer or I could call out "the frame".

The receiver never had a chance to do that, because he never had control.
The rule for a pass caught and a runner breaking the plain are different, because in the case of a pass there has to be a criteria for having made a catch and establishing control of the ball. In the case of a ball carrier they have already established control, but if they lose control it's a fumble.

No, a receiver in college football does not need to have both feet down to make a catch. [, ]
Under NCAA rules, a receiver only needs to get one foot down in bounds while maintaining control of the ball, whether they are in the middle of the field, along the sideline, or in the end zone. [, , ]
Key Catch Requirements in College Football
. Miami is a good team, played a very creditable 2nd half on the opposition's field, but they lost fair and square. Make no excuses or complaints.
Under NCAA rules, a receiver only needs to get one foot down in bounds while maintaining control of the ball, whether they are in the middle of the field, along the sideline, or in the end zone. [, , ]
Key Catch Requirements in College Football
- Inbounds Requirement: Only one foot (or another body part other than the hand) must touch the ground in bounds. (This differs from the NFL, which strictly requires two feet down).
- Control and Continuity: The receiver must establish firm control of the ball and maintain it long enough to complete an act common to the game (such as taking another step or extending).
- Going to the Ground: If a receiver is falling or going to the ground while making the catch, they must maintain complete and continuous control of the ball through contact with the ground.
- End Zone vs. Field of Play: Unlike a runner who simply crosses the goal line with possession, a receiver must still complete the entire process of a catch (securing the ball and getting the required one foot down) before a touchdown can be awarded. [, , , , , ]

The bottom line is Miami lost under suspicious circumstance. Another favor from the NCAA to Notre Dame They may meet again in the playoffs.

The bottom line, sir is that they lost fair and square.
. There is no controversy other than what whiners and people carrying a bias want to create.
The call on the field was rightly upheld...end of story.

Holliday 3000: Was it fair that the NCAA all but "guaranteed" Notre Dame a spot in the CFP? Tell us the story about that... What's the reason why Notre Dame joined the ACC in all sports besides football, which they play a 6 game schedule (North Carolina (W 37-26)), Miami W (31-24?), Stanford, Boston College, SMU, Syracuse?

Personally I like that ND has preserved traditional rivalries against teams like Stanford, USC, BC, Navy, Syracuse, Pitt etc.
./All of those teams have been powerhouses at times and shit at others, much like you have an ebb and flow within conferences. You like the mess that the 18 team Big 10(?) has become. LOL
You're down with the likes of Tulane and James Madison being in the playoff but not the top independent.
You are so biased that you will deny a correct call and review with added explanation - clear as day?
You've lost all credibility, lad.
PS: Q - have pitt usc navy stanford or syracuse ever been ranked top 10 in football (BC also, btw)
Yes, all five of these programs have been ranked in the Top 10 of the AP Poll during their football histories. In fact, all five have reached the No. 1 or No. 2 spot at some point. [, , , , , ]

I don't hate Notre Dame. I just don't give a fuck about Notre Dame and know how over rated they've been over the years.
Did you go to school there or something?

No worries. I was just curious why you're such a fan of a school in Indiana.
