It's no surprise Notre Dame is miffed after being surprisingly left out of the College Football Playoff bracket Sunday. The school's athletic director, Pete Bevacqua, told Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger as much in the hours following the Fighting Irish's snub, saying, "We feel like the playoff was stolen from our student-athletes."

The College Football Playoff selection committee explained why Notre Jame was jumped by Miami and Alabama stayed at No. 9.

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.

The Big 12 commissioner rebuked Pete Bevacqua for going after the ACC and Jim Phillips after the committee flipped the Irish with Miami in the CFP rankings.

ESPN personality Paul Finebaum is never afraid of calling out members of the college football world. With that said, he took aim at Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua this Wednesday. It's been a rough week for Notre Dame to say the least.
