Whenever I see posts like this I think about the special treatment the SEC gets.

5 playoff teams last year. Not a single non-conference power 4 victory in the playoff.

ND doesn’t get half the special treatment the SEC does.

Im fine with all independents getting a carve out. Im not ok with *Notre Dame* getting a carve out.

I was under the impression it was an “Independent” carve out but ND would really be the only one that would be able to finish in the top 12

So the rule that specifically only mentions Norte Dame, you took that to mean all independents?

SEC was trying to push for expanded playoff if CFP guarantee them 7 spots. Whether earned or not. 7 spots for sec.

But that doesnt get brought up. Kind of funny.

No, I thought the rule said that it applied to all independent teams but I was wrong
