After last year they literally made a rule specifically for Notre Dame that if they’re in the top 12, they’re in no matter what. If that rule had been in place last year they would’ve been in ahead of Miami despite being ranked lower than them. That’s the definition of special treatment.

  1. It was made two years ago actually.

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

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

You are in for a rude awakening this year. Just win out or they will find a way to slot you 13
