Brian Kelly Says Notre Dame May Schedule Easier Games To Make The Playoff

Notre Dame was in the hunt for the College Football Playoff come November, but got blown out by Miami, and well, that was that.

“We didn’t have that breather game the week before one of our rivals,” Kelly told ESPN. “There’s some other conferences that have it built in, and they do it for a reason, and it works out well for them.

But that doesn’t seem to be that important anymore.

“It seems like the goal posts shift and move a little bit as it comes to how you get in, and this schedule is really, really difficult.”
