Notre Dame’s Response To Being BETRAYED By The CFP Committee | HARD PASS Ep. #71
 
Notre Dame feels PLAYED by the CFP Committee, and that’s why they’re NOT playing in a bowl game 👀
 
Doug Kezirian breaks down why the Irish walked away from postseason play, why this goes WAY deeper than missing the CFP, and why Notre Dame truly believes it was used, misled, and ultimately denied a fair shot at a national championship.
 
Doug explains how the Committee’s late flip, public pressure from ESPN voices, and even the ACC’s troll job pushed Notre Dame out, and why the Irish are furious at both the process and the people who were supposed to have their back. From outdated rankings logic to the ACC airing Miami vs Notre Dame EIGHT times before Selection Sunday, Doug breaks down exactly why Notre Dame feels betrayed.
 
Plus, Doug dives into why non-playoff bowls are becoming true “exhibitions,” why more teams are opting out, and why Notre Dame’s decision might be a preview of where college football is headed.

“I have absolutely no issue whatsoever with Notre Dame calling it a season… given everything that’s happened, they simply don’t want to play an exhibition game, because that’s what a non-playoff bowl game is.” — Doug Kezirian
