ND does not deserve no matter who they have played. It means everything the CFB playoff committee has said is a lie. They said CCG is big and so is having the 13 data point. None of which ND has. My guess is the committee is pulling for Miami to win this weekend.

The Big 12 I doubt in the end makes it to the playoffs. OU coming off a big game now has to play TCU. More then likely they both will see each other in the CG. I could easily see them splitting the games and a loss champ will not make it in. Which I think is the same for AU if they win out and the SEC will be sitting home.

It could change with additional losses in the remaining weeks, but notre dames' resume' of wins might be better than any conference championship game winner (the impressive part being that they don't have that extra opportunity to get another quality opponent )

I disagree only because November is a great schedule for big games. We just saw OU vs OKST and now they still have a top 10 TCU and WVU.
Miami has ND home this weekend which would eliminate ND if they win and even if they do not the loss does not affect Miami in the conference. Clemson winning the ACC even over a 1 loss Miami in their CG looks better the last weekend then ND who did not play. ND last game is against Stanford on 11/25 who may drop out of the rankings if they can not beat Washington this Friday.
The winner of the Mich State OSU game this weekend will play an undefeated Wisc and I think Wisc has a chance with the way the other two have looked to go undefeated.

You are disagreeing on the premise of what might happen. The point is that Notre Dame's scheduling is tough enough to overcome the lack of a conference Championship Game. It is what it is. If their opponents keep winning, they will have better wins then UGA or Alabama or Clemson or Ohio State or Oklahoma Etc

I'm sorry, I don't like Notre Dame either, but I think their schedule is enough to get them in if they win out, currently. It'd be great if they lost to Miami, who then turned around and lost to Pitt or UVA.
It's going to be tough to keep an undefeated Big 10 champ out of the Playoff, so Wisconsin needs to lose, and they certainly could in the next couple of weeks. If not, they'll need to lose to whoever they play in the Big 10 championship game.
The Pac-12 isn't getting anyone in and neither is the group of 5. That scenario would leave these teams as legitimate contenders:
SEC
13-0 or 12-1 Alabama
13-0 or 12-1 Georgia
ACC
13-0 or 12-1 Miami
12-1 Clemson
Big 12
12-1 Oklahoma
12-1 TCU
B1G
13-0 Wisconsin
Independent
11-1 Notre Dame
TCU and Oklahoma play each other, as will Clemson and Miami (assuming they win all their conference games between now and the ACC title game). In my opinion, both of those are eliminator games. I'm not sure if Notre Dame vs Miami is an eliminator game yet. If Miami loses to the Irish but then beats Clemson in the ACC title game, that puts everyone in a weird spot, too.
Every game Wisconsin plays is an eliminator game. If they lose, the B1G doesn't get anyone in the Playoff.

I honestly don't see how they get anyone in period.

I honestly don't how you can keep an undefeated Power 5 champion out of the Playoff in favor of a one-loss champion, no matter the resumè.
