As conversations continue about US LBM Coaches Poll No. 6 Notre Dame’s position in the first official College Football Playoff rankings of the season, the debate about Indiana being a higher seed continues to heat up.

On “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” Wednesday, Fox Sports’ Colin Cowherd spoke about “how ridiculous” the CFP rankings are to start out, especially with Indiana at No. 4 and Notre Dame at No. 11.

Cowherd spoke out against the Fighting Irish’s position in the rankings, adding that the team is a heavy favorite against No. 1 Miami on Saturday.

“Ask yourself this question: In the history of college football, has the No. 11 team (Notre Dame) ever been a touchdown favorite over an unbeaten No. 1 team? The answer is I doubt it,” Cowherd added.

Cowherd called out the CFP committee for saying that Notre Dame (7-1) isn’t higher because it doesn’t have a signature win yet. Cowherd added that the Hoosiers don’t have one either (6-2), noting Indiana’s close victories against Minnesota, Michigan and Nebraska.

BYU should have been one of the Irish’s signature victories, Cowherd added.

“Notre Dame has blown out everyone on their schedule, except BYU,” Cowherd said. “Notre Dame goes on the road and loses. It’s not just that they lost...this has to be considered. On the final play, the Big 12 admitted that it was pass inference and that Notre Dame should get another play. The Big 12 also admitted that when the ball hit the ground, there was a second left. They butchered two calls in the final five seconds.”

Cowherd concluded that Notre Dame has a “better point differential, better total offense and defense...basically better everything” than Indiana.
