AD Pete Bevacqua made some very serious comments yesterday about the future of the Fighting Irish’s relationship with the ACC on Monday, after what that conference that they’re loosely affiliated to did to try to get Miami into the College Football Playoff over Notre Dame.

As Finebaum mentioned, Alabama would then have to take on the No. 1-seeded Indiana Hoosiers. Led by head coach Curt Cignetti, Indiana is fresh off of beating the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Big Ten championship game by a score of 13-10. They're legit and they have arguably the best quarterback in the nation with Fernando Mendoza.

Paul Finebaum tucks himself into what he hopes is an obscure corner of the Signia Hotel bar, trying to find a place where he might have a conversation without being recognized.
