Let's say Clemson beats ND. Do the Irish still go to the Playoff or does the committee drop them for A&M?

I say they should, but I think the committee will go with Cincy just so they don't have to face the SEC/ND bias accusations.

What's the most likely outcome?

ND won't have to play Clemson so the ACC can get 2 in. Then ND will get drilled by a SEC team. That's how it works.

why should they? The real argument is OSU vs A&M, not ND vs. A&M. I think Notre Dame is virtually locked in as long as they don't get blown out by Clemson

If ND stays within 7-10they should stay in top 4. If Clemson beats them pretty handily at full strength ND should fall out.

I don’t see any reason A&M should get in over Notre Dame, even if they get blown out.

A&M has:

- Win over the #6 team
- Blowout loss to the #1 team
- 3 struggle wins

ND would have:

- Win over the #3 team
- Blowout loss to that same team
- Win over the #17 team
- 1 struggle win

If Clemson beats Norte Dame and it’s not a bloodbath then Notre Dame will go to the playoffs.

If you send A&M then your punishing Notre Dame for playing a conference title game and they’ll have beaten Clemson in the regular season already.

A&M’s best chance to go is

Alabama, Notre Dame and Ohio State win out or Ohio State is disqualified and Alabama or Notre Dame wins out.

Doesn't matter A&M is going to lose to Auburn.

So go ahead and let that dream die now.

Depends. Is Notre Dame better than A&M? Then in this scenario, they should get the nod.

The 4 best should be the 4 best not any of this subjective "deserved" non-sense.

A 1 loss Florida, Bama, Notre Dame, & Clemson will go over A&M.

Our best bet is to get to 9-1 and Ohio State only get 5 or 6 games in (and preferably not win by 30+ in the remaining games).

If Kellen Mond plays this Saturday anything like he did last Saturday, aTm won't have to worry about what the other teams are doing.
