As if we needed more reason to hate them.

They should be in a conference if they want to be in the playoffs. If not, let them host their own Irish Bowl in Ireland for all I care.

goddamn season full of them???


Wisconsin in Lambo

Michigan State

Stanford
At USC

Looks like 10 P4 teams to me and no FCS, 7 true home games… just like any other P4 schedule.

Then it triggers everyone that they’re not in a conference they’re in the Independent conference, or, if you want, mentally put them in the ACC

Honestly what should happen is ND gets an ACC championship game bid if they’re in the top 12, just like they should. The other team in the ACCCG would get the trophy and call themselves ACC champions, but both teams would get a de facto playoff game to help their playoff causes

You mean like the rule in the SEC that Miss. St. is the only school that is allowed artificial noisemakers at football games?

I think a generic addendum that mandates any team in the top eight must be part of the field makes sense.

In no universe does a top twelve ranking merits automatic qualification make sense . The goal is to include every team with a legitimate argument for a national championship

All of college football needs to refuse to schedule ND until they join a conference

Their 4th hardest game of the season based on quality of opponents from this season is Wisconsin.

To put that in perspective 4 playoff teams played Wisconsin this year.

Wisconsin was Alabama's 11th hardest game according to FPI. They were Indiana's 7th hardest. Ohio State's 7th hardest. Oregons 7th hardest.

Why does the college football world keep bowing to Notre Dame's demands?

Writing in special rules for specific teams is beyond corrupt.

Who authorized this? Did the P4 conferences agree to this? Doesn't seem like anything that can't be dealt with by the P4 conferences simple saying FU.

P. S. Just another reason in a long list why normal people hate ND.

If they hate ND so much, the conferences/unions/socialists should just cut out ND since they are operating on their own as an independent school. Shame on ND for being independent. I'm not a socialist so I am not in favor of it, so I guess that makes me not normal.
