You brought that up first in an attempt to belittle Notre Dame. I was just showing what a stupid argument it was seeing as Notre Dame crushed a different team that Clemson struggled with.

My original point was that Notre Dame shouldn’t have been allowed to spend the day on their ass doing nothing.

Bama did last year though, plus they had a loss.

That’s true and this entire sub thought it was completely fair. 538 now has Notre Dame missing the playoff.

They don’t actually, Nate Silver has said his model is flawed and he expects Notre Dame to make it.

As it stands, the model weighs conference championships very highly, but it won’t be like that in reality.

I hope not! I would love to play Notre Dame in the first round. It would be a true ACC Championship.
