re: Notre Dame will get in but it will be the watershed to them not playing the 13th game

Their schedule, conference championship game or not, has been every bit as difficult as Clemson, Oklahoma, or Ohio State.

You left out Georgia who is the spot they will take

Irish for 2018
10-2 Michigan @ South Bend and Michigan got smoked by Ohio State
4-8 Ball State @ South Bend
6-6 Vanderbilt @ South Bend (Dores got robbed)
6-6 Wake Forest @ WF
8-4 Stanford @ South Bend
6-6 Virginia Tech @ VT
7-6 Pittsburgh @ South Bend
3-9 Navy (Neutral)
8-5 Northwestern @ NW (but more like UGA @ VU were visitors fans dominate)
5-7 Florida State @ South Bend
9-3 Syracuse in NYC (strong Irish fan support)
5-7 USC @ USC

I know schedules are made years in advance but what were strong schedule games like FSU and USC were not and it was not like the Irish dominated strong foes this season.
