On Sunday, the College Football Playoff selection committee left Notre Dame out in favor of filling out a bracket that has five SEC teams.

It’s impossible to overstate how biased the CFP conversation in the national media has been propagandized in favor of the SEC. Before the season, there was nonstop conversation about how NIL funding was causing talent in the south to leave for Big Ten schools.

Once the logo games started in SEC country, ESPN analysts pushed the narrative that the SEC deserved more teams because of hard hard the conference is.

The Irish went 1-1 in the SEC this season, with a 56-13 win over Arkansas. Their one-point loss (41-40) to Texas A&M will ultimately keep them from the CFP.

Fans on social media pointed out that a blatantly missed call on the fourth-down touchdown pass that allowed the Aggies to beat Notre Dame wasn’t called by an SEC officiating crew.

“This “patently egregious” non-call by SEC officials wound up costing Notre Dame a spot in the playoffs,” wrote a fan.

Fans think the Irish were screwed over

“Crazy to think an SEC officiating crew missing a blatant holding call on the final play of a game ultimately left ND out,” wrote former Irish quarterback Brady Quinn.

“SEC officials missing a blatant hold on a 4th down kept ND out,” posted another.

“SEC officiating is the reason ND is on the CFP bubble If the officials didn’t swallow their whistle on 4th and goal to give A&M the win against ND, both ND and Miami would be in the CFP,” wrote a poster.

“BAMA is unwatchable. If you are stuck on head to head there is a clear other comparison. A pure disgrace Bama made it in over ND. Watched them for 8 hours the last two weeks. The missed holding penalty against AM was SEC officials?” argued another.

“I hope ND refuses a bowl game. The committee screwed them. SEC officials threw the game at ND to protect A&M. No reason to assist ESPN with the ratings in a Bowl Game. And let the Bowl Game take a financial loss bc ND said no,” posted a fan.

The SEC refs didn’t help, but the SEC reps on the CFP committee did a good job of keeping the Irish out.
