If Notre Dame is to remain in top four...

I really want to see the OU Bama match up. I think it will be a great game.

OU will have to score on every possession vs either Clemson or Alabama. Their defense isn’t stopping either one of those offenses. They’re flat out terrible.

How do you move them down? They are undefeated.

ND gets to pick a pussy schedule because they are not in a conference! Shouldn't get to play with the big boys!

Not a Notre Dame fan, but their schedule was actually pretty tough this year. A few of the teams didn’t play up to their usual level.

Notre dame played teams traditionally expected to be top 15.

Southern cal
Stanford
Fsu
Va tech
Mich state
Mich

It's a nice schedule
But

Their opposition had bad years

Played 5 teams from the ACC.
2 from the B10.
2 from PAC-12.
1 from the SEC.
1 Independent and 1 from the MAC.

Alabama, meanwhile, played 8 from the SEC, 2 from the Sun Belt, 1 ACC, and 1 from the 1AA Southern Conference.

LSU also played 8 SEC, 2 CUSA, 1 ACC, and 1 1AA Southland Conference team. But sure, ND only schedules pussy teams.

I agree, which is why the commitee will pair them in the semifinals to protect their beloved Tide with a first round bye.

Notre Dames strength of schedule is 18 spots higher than Clemson’s. So maybe Clemson should be left out

They were also idle. No Conference Championship.
