If ND stays with one loss, they should not be ahead of anybody else in the P5 with one loss. Their schedule is weak sauce.

They lost to Northern Illinois @ home. That counts for 2.5 losses.

That is a joke they are still in the running with that loss, compared to other teams like USC and LSU.....but it tells you, if true, that they will do whatever it takes to get ND in.

Wild that the SEC and Big 10 will likely comprise 75% of the field with the ACC, Big 12, and P5 getting only their participation trophy/auto bid team in.

so Alabama and Georgia could potentially play 3 times.

Mandtgr47•15 months

I don't think Ga will make it, they aren't near the same as they have been recently. They should have lost to KY in a game they were dominated by them, they had a terrible half against Clemson, and Bama...and they still play @OM, @TX, and host Tenn.
