What's this?

Conference Championship is a component of the selection, that's a fact and

not an opinion. ND will not have that on their resume' unless they join a conference now...before it did not matter.

It's going to matter more in the future. You don't have to believe me, but we will talk later.

By the way, did you see the ACC, SEC and B1G going to 14...13 years ago? Did you see an ACCN Channel several years ago. Those are all things that I have said and stood by when many said, "no way" when I first said them. Thus, this is nothing new for me.

Agree, and they will wait a minimum of 10 years to find out ** -- VaTechie 07/28/2016 1:07PM

10 is a fair number, I'm thinking 2036 till we think about it again. :) ** -- goldendomer 07/28/2016 1:11PM

That's just an opinion and a stonger argument could be made to the contrary -- lawhokie 07/28/2016 12:27PM

An ACC schedule would not hurt recruiting or damage prestige. -- HOO86 07/28/2016 1:38PM

Being blunt but you formed an opinion before considering facts -- lawhokie 07/28/2016 10:22PM

If the ACC added Navy with ND, those games continue just like today. -- HOO86 07/28/2016 6:02PM

Notre Dame only grudgingly accepted 5 ACC games... -- lawhokie 07/29/2016 2:06PM

Sure - but not nearly as much as beating good teams ** -- lawhokie 07/28/2016 5:29PM

Conference Championship is number 1 criteria. The ND Indy or die crowd has -- Stech 07/28/2016 7:27PM

Yep, but obviously we accept it ** -- goldendomer 07/28/2016 8:04PM

No doubt for you and TerryD and I am sure there are many others at ND, -- Stech 07/29/2016 07:24AM

I'm not one who worries about our place in the c.f. landscape if we joined -- goldendomer 07/29/2016 07:56AM

The selection committee already said -- BigCrumpy 07/28/2016 11:32AM

Jeff Long explains it over and over, but some choose to ignore him. -- HOO86 07/28/2016 1:40PM

When did they say that? They just took Oklahoma. ** -- reestuart 07/28/2016 11:40AM

Every time it is discussed. Look at the selection protocol for the CFP. -- HOO86 07/28/2016 1:46PM

They also say nobody is automatic... -- reestuart 07/28/2016 1:58PM

Jeff Long says it every time asked. Choose to ignore him if you wish. -- HOO86 07/28/2016 2:05PM

I'm not ignoring him. Here's a quote inside... -- reestuart 07/28/2016 2:12PM

Every time he is asked. He says the same thing. -- HOO86 07/28/2016 2:29PM

Like I said. A tie-breaker. They had no common opponents -- reestuart 07/28/2016 2:48PM

Oklahoma won the Big 12 Championship last year. ** -- Stech 07/28/2016 12:52PM

They also didn't play that 13th game he mentioned.** -- reestuart 07/28/2016 1:59PM

Yes and Michigan State jumped right over them when OU didn't lose. -- HOO86 07/28/2016 2:11PM

That could been due to geography as well. I guess we won't know -- reestuart 07/28/2016 2:17PM

It will be the natural instincts of the people sitting in the room. -- HOO86 07/28/2016 2:44PM

Very possible, but just as possible that they give the benefit of the doubt -- reestuart 07/28/2016 2:49PM

Not "just as possible" at all. this is the key language -- daveinop 07/29/2016 09:41AM

So they're saying they have the discretion to pick a non-champ or indy -- reestuart 07/29/2016 09:49AM

In the rule, yes. In the process, no. -- daveinop 07/29/2016 11:05AM

Well, I guess we won't know who's right until it happens. There is -- reestuart 07/29/2016 1:25PM

I wouldn't hang my hat on this, he gave no real reason why -- goldendomer 07/28/2016 07:51AM

He gave no reason. It was just because. ** -- reestuart 07/28/2016 09:19AM

42% of your football schedule is in the ACC. The remainder is -- hokie4ever 07/28/2016 09:05AM

Yes, it matters -- TerryD 07/28/2016 10:56AM

They went from typically 3 to now 5 games vs ACC. That was a small -- hokeyhokie 07/28/2016 11:31AM

ND may have seen its last championship in any event -- TerryD 07/28/2016 12:37PM

I get that, and the last time ND played in one -- VaTechie 07/28/2016 1:15PM

42% to 66% is a huge jump when talking about 12 game schedules -- goldendomer 07/28/2016 09:50AM

Yep. It would basically rule out any OOC games for ND -- reestuart 07/28/2016 11:40AM

Not if they go to 4 divisions in the conference. They will get 5 OOC... -- Stech 07/28/2016 12:58PM

Do you mean that the ACC would go to a 7 game schedule? -- reestuart 07/28/2016 2:01PM

IMO 7 will be required to determine Div. champs. -- Red Hokie 07/28/2016 4:18PM

I like TB.He called ACCN in May.I do disagree with him that LHN saved B12. -- moonda 07/27/2016 10:09PM
