• "In football, not everybody's going to be happy."A year ago, at 10-2 and snubbed by the CFP committee, Miami wasn't happy. This year, at 10-2 and headed to Texas A&M for a playoff game, the Hurricanes are thrilled.
• It ultimately came down to an either-or pick for the last at-large spot, Miami or Notre Dame -- and the committee had no choice but to finally recognize the Hurricanes' 27-24 season-opening win over the Fighting Irish. With that, Miami went to the playoff and Notre Dame's season ended.
• The Irish passed on bowl invites, telling fans they would turn their focus toward winning a national title in 2026.
• And yes, the Hurricanes and Irish are scheduled to play at Notre Dame next November."Notre Dame is a great football team," Cristobal said.
