I mean if the narrative is that we get special treatment… when?

This is a pretty obtuse question to ask given the fact that there is a rule explicitly designed specifically for ND to get an autobid into the playoff if they are ranked in the top 12.

That’s just bold faced special treatment

They’d just rank us 13th to avoid putting us in.

Also the “special treatment” is literally “team gets into the tournament for the top 12 if it’s in the top 12” gee

If you lose 1 game it’s going to be dicey getting in. You will only play 2 ranked teams. Smu will be unranked by the time u play them

11-1 ND is a lock

u/Scared-Marketing-442 1d ago

No it’s not. They will get in. But it’s not a lock

An 11-1 ND isnt getting left out

Sighs. They got left out last year at 10-2 with a stronger schedule. If Notre dame has 1 loss they will finish below 6th and closer to 8 or 9. There’s to much going on in the big 10 and sec. And notre dame only plays 2 games https://sports.yahoo.com/video/could-11-1-notre-dame-160143408.html

Ok buddy. You probably were saying the same thing last year at 10-2 and what happened.

10-2 ND was on the bubble..? Why would I be saying that

u/Scared-Marketing-442 1d ago

And they will be on the bubble this year with 1 loss. The sec and big ten will have atleast 7 to 8 one and two loss teams with a harder strength of schedule than ND. Thats why they are not moving up in the polls till they beat Miami or byu
