So the team that beat them would get bumped for them because…reasons? That seems easy enough anyway. Just keep the same pussy schedule they’ve had forever, let the media talk up Freeman for some reason and make sure they start in the top 10, only lose to real teams a couple times and you’re in!

That’s a ridiculous addendum. Also makes sense the committee delivered this “frick you” to Notre Dame, if true.

NO ONE should schedule Notre Dame out of conference moving forward.

I get the complaints about Bama but it's crazy to bend over for Notre Dame like this

Writing in special rules for specific teams is beyond corrupt.

So just move them out of the top 12 if you don't want them in the playoffs?

That’s an absolute load of shite and it’s ashame a deserving team will get screwed by this.

There’s no reason for them to even schedule a difficult team.

This is the NCAA/ESPN. You don’t think it’s corrupt and filled with idiots?

They just put in James Madison over ND, Vandy, BYU and Texas. Laughable.

The top 30 programs should split off and do their own thing. No NCAA.

They thought it would be the blueprint for them year after year, thus them having a temper tantrum after the plan finally imploded

I'm a practicing Catholic, and I cannot stand Notre Dame for this very reason. They want special privileges for themselves, but they won't bend in any way for the betterment of the game.

Lest any of you younger guys think this is something new...they've been getting special privileges and "provisional points" in the polls since the dawn of college football. It was BS then and it's BS now. The only difference is that they actually had championship-caliber teams up to around 1990, and Knute Rockne ain't coming back through that door.

It would be awesome if the special rule for ND screws Ala out of a playoff spot next year.

And when all the other schools band together and decide not to schedule those 30?

Why not just have the Big 10 and SEC merge. Let them play against each other.
