If you think the committee REALLY cares about figuring out the best team then you're pretty naive. It's about the money. So if there are a bunch of 1-loss teams, and it's clear that a 1-loss team is going to get in, Notre Dame has a huge advantage over most teams.

TCU/Baylor undefeated

Bama, Ohio St, Oregon, ND all 1 loss. If you believe ND would make it then you are pretty naive yourself.

Way too early, no one knows what is going to happen....maybe all of those teams have 2 losses and a few others 1.

Still early and I'm trying to figure out how good teams are....I imagine voters are doing the same. The ND win looked darn good, now it looks a little less....over the course of the season it will become less and less, but ND will have to beat better teams than GT.

When is ND going to grow up and join a conference?

Are you trying to say that ND not playing in a championship is on the same level as TCU/Baylor not getting in because they don't have a championship in the Big 12? You're pretty funny dude. Neither of those teams comes close to the amount of money an ND playoff game would bring in. Apples to oranges.

If they were smart they'd join a conference already.

Pretty pathetic that ND fans can only boast about revenue off the field rather than anything relevant on the field.

I did not post that.
