Curious if this was a team vote situation. If so, understandable because of injury risk, etc. I do think this is the natural progression for a sport that has made the playoff *everything*.
10-2 Notre Dame announces it will not accept a bowl bid after missing the playoff.

The gods in Indiana giveth and taketh
What a brutal turn of events for the Colts. Trade for Gardner because Jones is playing fantastic football, now they're both hurt. And now not sure what you do with Jones as a pending free agent this offseason coming off the Achilles.

again, you can argue about whatever (I’ve said allllll season ND really needed to beat Texas A&M) but you can’t convince me Notre Dame wasn’t elite this year.
Game ratings (opponent-adjusted single game possession efficiency) updated through conf championships: bcftoys.com/2025-gr
All four teams that reached the CFP semifinals last season had top-5 average game ratings heading into the playoff (Oregon was the one that didn't).

Also somehow ahead of a team that actually beat Florida State. Make it make sense.
Every single team who lost their CCG dropped in the final ranking except for the one that lost by 3 touchdowns and had -3 rushing yards

God is making me agree with RODGER today!! Help me!!!
I keep coming back to this:
Notre Dame's two losses were by a combined four points. Their most recent loss was on September 14th.
Alabama lost by 21 yesterday.

I deleted Twitter from my phone and my mental health immediately improved 😂
Sorry for your loss.
By the way - are you on BlueSky exclusively now (no more X/Twitter)?

I think you can pretty easily make the argument Notre Dame was an elite team this year and could have had a legitimate title opportunity
What about ‘both teams are equally not great and they should just have 8 teams in the playoff so we don’t have to argue about which not elite team is less bad’ discourse?

Dropping BYU for yesterday but not Alabama is such a perfect chef's kiss on top of all of this. Honestly disgraceful, makes FSU's omission in 2023 look like a picnic

Sorry we aren’t doing Notre Dame conference discourse today, maybe try tomorrow!
ND did this to themselves by refusing to join a conference.

Seems fair.
Herbstreit kept saying Alabama shouldn't be "punished" for a loss. If there's a benefit to playing and potentially winning the game, there also has to be a price for losing. Especially a loss like this.
