Such a no-brainer , but I do disagree somewhat adamantly with your ND take


It will make it much easier for every school in the nation to make a playoff EXCEPT ND.

Their only path would be as one of the two at larges. And think about it- those spots will likely go to the Bama and Ohio Sts that stub their toe somewhere along the way. ND could conceivably be a top 5 team and potentially miss out on a 8 team playoff! How are they going to feel as, as say a top 10 team sitting home, when one or two borderline top 25 teams that pulled an upset in a conference championship are dancing?

Furthermore - this will keep hope alive for dozens of teams until near the end - this year UVa and VT would have been alive for a spot until the at last one/two weeks. However ND loses a game or two early and they are toast.

IMO this outcome would (maybe only mildly) encourage not discourage ND towards conference affiliation.

  Us vs G5 is not close. This will be fine for us -- goldendomer 12/11/2019 9:58PM
  I said ELITE. This year's ND team is NOT elite. -- Maroon Baboon 12/13/2019 3:47PM
  An 11-1 ND team would be considered elite. -- Atlee Hokie 12/13/2019 3:50PM
  It would depend on schedule and other factors. -- Maroon Baboon 12/13/2019 4:42PM
