Don't think they deserve it? Eh there's cases to be made

But with the absolute massive tantrum Notre Dame has been throwing these past 24 hours I'm actually glad they're not in. If they wanted in they should have fully integrated into the ACC but they didn't so they're getting left out

Now we have this new bullshite rule that automatically allows them in it they're ranked in the top 12 which screws over a conference champ. I can only hope this applies to other independents like UConn maybe they go on a crazy run and knock out the Irish next year

I thought they could have picked any 2 of the 3 for #9 and #10 and I was happy with whatever.

If you lose more than 1 game, you go where they put you.

But, after that display yesterday, I think they picked the right 2 of the 3.

Not like they haven't before, but they showed who they really were yesterday.

frick Notre Dame. I’m glad Bama getting in forced ND to show their true colors on National TV. A bunch of whiny, entitled cunts. Look at the Whorns! They’re still playing their Cheez It bowl. Gotta respect them for keeping it together.

I do not get the idea behind "we're not going to play our bowl game". Even during Covid, there were some quitters then that I did not expect.

We don’t need to reward Notre Dame for playing an easy schedule.

ESPN should bully them. Advise recruits to look elsewhere because ND would rather make political statements than play football games. 100% complete media blackout. Refuse to broadcast them. Make them write an apology. Or let them play the 330 CBS games nobody watches against Rutgers and Maryland.

If the players did vote for this like has been reported then they are cucks and didn't belong in the playoff anyway.

frick them.

If the are in the top 12 starting next year the CFP has to seed them in the playoff.

You can't have auto qualifiers if teams get to pick their own schedules.

They make a lot of noise for a team that played the 43rd "hardest" schedule in CFB. But it's Notre Shame, this doesn't surprise me.

To be fair, it would likely serve to keep a Rent a Win G5 rep out.

I think CFP will frick them over by purposely ranking them #13 next year to spite them. Their 2026 schedule is a joke.

Nope - it's going to take an at large from SEC/BIG/ACC/B12

I don't see how they will ever be not ranked in the top 12. They literally get to make their own schedule.

Notre Dame should be treated like a non-power 4 school. Wanna be Power 4? Join a Power 4 conference.

Yep if it means teams like SMU and JMU aren't in the playoffs then I'm good with it. Though it does seems absurd that ND gets this special rule.

ESPN will suck a Notre Dame dick down to the last drop if they can.

No, current rule is top 5 conf Champs get an auto-bid.

This year was weird with an ACC worse than two G5 conferences.

This rule would have bumped JMU out

Wisconsin (at Lambeau)
Rice
Michigan State
@Purdue
@UNC
Navy (neutral site)
Miami
Boston college
SMU
@Syracuse
Stanford
USC

How about that gauntlet

Notre Dame did not deserve to get in. Nor did Bammer. Vandy should have been in over TooLame and JMU and Bammer

They deserved to beat A&M. Horrendous no call on an obvious hold. Stop acting like they are that bad. Was A&M's schedule that much of a gauntlet?
