The CFP Committee Blew It With Notre Dame, Miami, And Tennessee

Joe DeLeone and Blake Ruffino share their Week 11 College Football Playoff rankings reaction and explain why they think the CFP committee ranked Notre Dame football, Miami football, and Tennessee football too low. The second CFP Top 25 of the 2026 season puts all three teams in the top eight, raising questions about how the committee weighed their biggest games. - **Notre Dame Fighting Irish:** Notre Dame jumped from No. 11 to No. 5 after beating Miami 31–24. Did a head-to-head win over the committee’s previous No. 1 team earn the Irish a spot in the top four? - **Miami Hurricanes:** Miami fell from No. 1 to No. 7 after its first loss of the season. How much should a one-score road loss at Notre Dame count against the Hurricanes’ résumé? - **Tennessee Volunteers:** Tennessee climbed from No. 13 to No. 8 after beating Kentucky 34–6. The Vols also beat Alabama, which moved up to No. 3. How much weight did the committee give that result? Joe and Blake break down strength of schedule, quality wins, and what the Week 11 CFP rankings could mean for first-round byes and home games in the 12-team playoff bracket.
