Notre Dame absolutely would not have to go undefeated...
Look at 2015: if the Irish had beaten either Clemson or Stanford they would have likely been in the playoff even with their relatively weak schedule. Michigan State got a slot after getting pummeled by Alabama and losing to a weak Nebraska. Sure OSU and Iowa also had one loss and would have an argument, but that was with really weak schedules.
Notre Dame lost two games by two points - it was in their hands. The fact is that they just weren't good enough, and being in the ACC would not fix that.
If they beef up their schedules a one-loss season will more often than not land them in the top 4.
