What's this?

It would be interesting to see what the Committee would do

if it was between ACC Champion Duke 13-0 and Big Ten Champion Ohio State 12-1 for the 4th spot in the Playoffs. If the ACC was down and Duke played a relatively soft OOC, then it may be tough for the Committee to give the nod to Duke. FWIW I think the ACC considers Army and Navy to be P5 opponents, so it isn't unrealistic to think that Duke could schedule either team to satisfy the P5 requirement and that team ends up being bad that season.

Let's be honest here, teams typically don't schedule games against either school because they think they are a quality opponent that will improve their SOS. They schedule them because they can easily check off the P5 box while scheduling cupcakes for the remaining OOC games and probably get a W out of it. Oddly enough I don't think the ACC considers Air Force to be a P5 opponent for whatever reason.

And... you're proving your point about football independence. -- Old Line Hokie 11/27/2018 09:42AM

They have a chance, but they have to run the table. If there are 4 P5's -- Stech 11/28/2018 06:45AM

Notre Dame is the only non-P5 football school that can do it now.... -- Old Line Hokie 11/28/2018 11:33AM

There are really no compelling reasons for ND football to join a conference -- TerryD 11/28/2018 3:20PM

I agree with all of that...the Big 12 is the one to watch with their GOR -- Stech 11/28/2018 7:00PM

WRT scheduling I understand that the current ACC arrangement is a good deal -- VTHokie2000 11/28/2018 5:08PM

Yes, some fans think ND gave too many games up -- goldendomer 11/28/2018 6:58PM

So you don't like playing Stanford? ** -- Stech 11/28/2018 7:01PM

I do. I think Stanford should be a yearly game. -- TerryD 11/29/2018 07:11AM

No, I feel we could play Cal, Washington -- goldendomer 11/28/2018 7:40PM

Even if VT or a non-blue blood P5 program went 13-0 -- VTHokie2000 11/28/2018 3:02PM

If Duke does that next season, they will get in -- mrcaniac 11/29/2018 9:20PM

No, I was meaning that if Duke's OOC schedule looked like this -- VTHokie2000 11/30/2018 02:51AM

Without a conference championship game, ND must remain perfect to... -- EDGEMAN 11/27/2018 10:47AM

Yep. Most years, anyway. Everyone at ND is well aware of this -- TerryD 11/27/2018 3:23PM

I'd bet that Tech would have to be undefeated & ACC Champs to get in... -- Old Line Hokie 11/27/2018 3:22PM

No doubt...that's a given. ** -- EDGEMAN 11/27/2018 3:58PM

We’ve already seen two 11-1 non-conf champs -- Colonel Jessup 11/27/2018 11:28AM

A 1-loss SEC team will receive higher consideration than anyone else -- EDGEMAN 11/27/2018 1:10PM

To be fair -- mrcaniac 11/27/2018 11:49PM

Miami might still get the benefit of doubt from the Committee ** -- VTHokie2000 11/28/2018 5:15PM

Only because they have been winning lately, but that script can flip with -- Stech 11/28/2018 06:42AM
