Notre Dame<\/a> remained at No. 9 after thumping Syracuse 70-7 on Saturday.<\/p>\n

In the past few weeks, there has been a great debate in college football<\/a> about whether the Fighting Irish deserve to be ranked above Miami after losing their head-to-head matchup with the Hurricanes by a score of 27-24 in Week 1. <\/p>\n

Both programs have a 9-2 record heading into Week 14.<\/p>\n

Following the rankings release on Tuesday, ESPN analyst Joey Galloway argued that ND looks like a more compelling team after Saturday when the Irish beat Syracuse by 63 points. <\/p>\n

Galloway didn’t think Miami did enough by beating Virginia Tech 34-17 in Week 13. He even discounted a Hurricanes touchdown in the final minute.<\/p>\n

“But (Miami) played Virginia Tech,” Galloway said on the ESPN broadcast. “Now they won the game. They added a touchdown at the end. It was meaningless. So let’s call it a 10-point win. To see them move up, this is setting up the conversation everybody’s been wanting to have. <\/p>\n

“Can they get close enough to Notre Dame, to get them in the same grouping when we’re comparing these teams? Very interesting move to see them move up one.”<\/p>\n

Galloway acknowledged Miami defeated the Irish in Week 1, but doesn’t think that game holds much value after a full season of football.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn week one Miami was a better team and thats the only time,\u201d Galloway said.<\/p>\n

Miami fans on social media were upset with the perceived bias presented by the former Ohio State wide receiver.<\/p>\n

“Joey Galloway pointing to a win over Syracuse, who started a freshman walk-on in his first start, as his proof that Notre Dame is better is utterly dumbfounding,” wrote a fan.<\/p>\n

“Joey Galloway a lame it\u2019s really simple,” posted<\/a> a fan.<\/p>\n

“Joey Galloway does not like Miami. Notes Syracuse as a common opponent between Notre Dame and Miami and the difference in result (as if Miami didn’t demolish Syracuse). Conveniently doesn’t mention NC State, where the Pack and Irish were 10-7 at the half (Miami was up 24-0),” argued<\/a> Gaby Urrutia of 247 Sports.<\/p>\n

“Joey Galloway cannot even hide his bias against Miami, and it\u2019s really ridiculous to see from a reporter who is supposed to be as impartial to the teams as possible. Ridiculous,” posted <\/a>another.<\/p>\n

“Joey_Galloway Bro, you are simpin something serious for ND. ‘Notre Dame has been consistent throughout the season.’ They started 0-2 against the only two real teams they played. They are a can crusher. Go check the schedule. Who have they played good since Miami? I’ll wait…” wrote<\/a> a fan.<\/p>\n

“Every year. He\u2019s a bigger Miami hater than everyone else in the media combined,” posted<\/a> another.<\/p>\n

The debate between Miami and Notre Dame will continue if both teams win on Saturday. The CFP selection committee will render the final verdict on Dec. 7.<\/p>\n
