Notre Dame and Miami fans are bracing themselves for a potentially disappointing College Football Playoff (CFP) run, according to ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit. The college football analyst recently warned Notre Dame that Miami is coming, implying that the Hurricanes' strong performance could propel them ahead of the Fighting Irish in the CFP rankings.
Herbstreit made his comments during an appearance on ESPN's "Get Up," where he discussed the upcoming conference championship games and how they might impact the playoff field. According to Herbstreit, if Texas Tech beats BYU convincingly, it could set Notre Dame up poorly for the playoffs. On the other hand, a loss for BYU would make Miami more competitive in the CFP rankings.
Herbstreit also suggested that head-to-head matchups will become increasingly important in the playoff process. In this case, Miami's 27-24 victory over Notre Dame earlier in the season could be crucial if it leads to the Hurricanes gaining ground on the Fighting Irish.
While Herbstreit's warning may have some Notre Dame fans feeling anxious, it's worth noting that the CFP rankings are always subject to change based on a variety of factors. However, for Miami and its fans, every week is an opportunity to make a case for themselves in the playoff picture. As the conference championship games approach, both teams will be looking to make the most of their chances and secure a spot in the College Football Playoff.

just watched this espn clip & i gotta say, herbstreit is low-key right 
. miami's been on fire & if they can pull off another upset like that one against notre dame, it could be game over for the fighting irish 
. plus, with texas tech beating byu, that's gonna hurt notredame's cfp chances big time 
. herbstreit is right tho, head-to-head matchups are gonna matter way more in the playoffs than ever 
. but on the flip side, miami fans should be stoked too - every week's a new chance to make a case for themselves 
. can't wait to see what happens in the conference championships 
... like how do we even get to a point where one loss can make that huge of a difference? And Herbstreit's comments just added fuel to the fire, making me wonder if Notre Dame is even ready for this. Meanwhile, Miami fans are just hyped because they got lucky with that win earlier in the season 
... I mean, it's not like anyone can control who wins or loses on any given week. Can we just have a fair and consistent system for once? 
You know how unpredictable college football can be, but if I had to put my money on it, I think Miami's gonna give Notre Dame a run for their money. That 27-24 win earlier in the season was no fluke, and if they keep playing like that, they'll definitely be in the mix come playoff time 
. Of course, Notre Dame's got some tough opponents ahead of them, but you can't count out the Irish just yet either - they've been known to pull off those magical upsets before 
. It's gonna be a wild ride, folks! Can't wait to see how it all plays out 
but at the same time, I feel bad for the Irish fans who are probably freaking out right now 
so yeah if they keep winning, they're def gonna be in the mix 
but CFP rankings are always shifty, right? 
... I mean, Miami's on fire and it's tough to ignore. But you know what? I think this is also a great opportunity for ND to learn from their mistakes and come back stronger in the playoffs 
. Let's see how both teams respond to these challenges! Fingers crossed for Notre Dame, though 
.
. But at the same time, CFP rankings are all about one week to the next so you can never count anyone out 
. I'm actually rooting for both teams to do well because it makes for an epic conference championship game 
. The fact that Herbstreit is giving Miami so much love is crazy, but you can never count out the Hurricanes! It's going to be a wild ride with conference championship games coming up – who will make it to the playoffs? 
.
Like, what's the worst that could happen? They lose to BYU and then they're done for? Please, the CFP rankings are always up for grabs, and Miami's got some things to prove after beating them 27-24. I mean, come on, a one-point game is not exactly a statement win for the Canes! 
. But I think ND still got this 
! Not sure what's going on with Herbstreit but if Texas Tech beats BYU by 10+ points, it's gonna be tough for them to get in 
. Miami's got some great wins under their belt and I think they've got a legit shot at making it to the playoffs 
. On the other hand, Miami's 27-24 win over them earlier in the season could be a game-changer 
. And what's up with head-to-head matchups becoming more important? Is it just a coincidence or are the powers that be trying to manipulate the situation? 
It's like they're setting Miami up for a comeback victory, maybe even as the no. 1 seed
