Gotcha.
The conference issue doesn't bother me with Notre Dame. It's how they tend to struggle with lesser competition and fail the eye test.
No one thought Notre Dame had a chance against Clemson, but under the current format it would have been incredibly tough to leave Notre Dame out of the playoff.
If we go to a six or an eight team playoff the arguments will nearly disappear, but so will what's left of bowl season.
Regardless of what people want, we're headed that way.

My view on Notre Dame is they played 10 P5 games this year, and they had a better SOS (according to ESPN at least LINK ) on selection Sunday than Alabama, Clemson, and Ohio State. I'm not saying that's right or wrong, but it is what it is. They beat everyone on their schedule and earned their way into the playoff. They were never going to pass the eye test, but at the end of the day, they did earn it more so than Oklahoma, Ohio State, or Georgia.

I mostly agree with this, except I think they'll always be teams complaining, right or wrong, regardless of how many teams we add to the playoffs.
