THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF IS RIGGED. In a SHAMEFUL display of offensive incompetence, the Miami Hurricanes STOLE a victory from Texas A&M in a game that has EXPOSED the CFP selection committee’s fatal flaw. This wasn’t a football game; it was a FRAUD perpetrated on 100,000 fans in College Station.
How does a team that couldn’t score a SINGLE POINT in the first half DESERVE to advance? Miami, a team that controversially snuck into the playoff over Notre Dame, proved they NEVER BELONGED. Their ONLY touchdown was a last-minute gift in a contest defined by missed kicks and a quarterback’s SOUL-CRUSHING interception in the final seconds.
This was a HISTORIC collapse by Texas A&M, but the real scandal is the SYSTEM that put Miami here. Are we rewarding mediocrity? The first scoreless first half in CFP history is NOT championship football—it’s an EMBARRASSMENT. The committee’s obsession with brand names over actual performance has now OFFICIALLY corrupted the sport’s premier event.

Now, this fraudulent Miami squad advances to face Ohio State, while a more deserving team goes home. The Aggies’ 86-year title drought continues, but tonight’s loss is a SYMPTOM of a larger disease. The playoff is BROKEN, and this game was its putrid, failing heartbeat.
Miami’s kicker missed THREE field goals. Their offense was STAGNANT. They won by a SINGLE touchdown in a 10-3 slog. This is the team we’re told is one of the best four in the country? The evidence on the field SCREAMS otherwise.

In the final, gut-wrenching minute, Texas A&M’s Marcel Reed delivered the interception that will HAUNT this program forever. But the true crime was committed WEEKS AGO by faceless committee members in a boardroom.

The celebration in Miami will be loud, but the silence in College Station speaks a terrifying truth: the sport you love is being decided by agendas, not athletes.
Their farcical “national championship chase” continues, while true competitors are sent packing. This isn’t sport; it’s a SCRIPTED NIGHTMARE where the wrong team always wins.

Forget the final score; the entire system is now UNDER REVIEW. When a game this ugly decides a championship, do any of the results even matter anymore?
