[QUOTE="KrushCow31, post: 1363561, member: 533722"] I go to ND and I didn't even think about ND haha. Good point. This school has a lot of sway and some big money contracts to push around. We could go full ACC...but then we would lose our biggest rivalries like USC, Michigan, MSU, Army, and Stanford. We already partially lost the Michigan rivalry, and lost the Purdue game by joining. Also won't be switching to the B1G as we just signed a multi year contract this year with the ACC through 2037. You could make it Power 5 champs +3 at large bids with 1 automatically going to a group 5 conference if they meet x criteria. That way if Notre Dame is good then they will get in. However, a #~8 Notre Dame would have a good argument if they get hosed but 11-3 Stanford ranked #11 circa 2013 gets into the playoffs. Sometimes even the Power 5 conference champs don't deserve to be in. So there are pluses and minuses to everything. This season for example lets say ND beat Stanford. Only loss is 1pt to Georgia, and an atrocious game to Miami. Curb stomped USC 49-14. USC is Pac 12 champs, and 11-3. ND is 12-2 but ranked ~8. This year with my layout the playoff would have been: 1. Clemson (#1) 2. Oklahoma (#2) 3. Georgia (#3) 4. Ohio State (#5) 5. USC (#8) 6. Alabama (#4) 7. Wisconsin (#6) 8. UCF (#12) If you're Miami or Penn or ND you're probably pretty mad a 11-3 team made the playoff and you're outside looking in with 2 losses, especially if you beat that team by a large margin like ND did.
