What's this?

Here is what is really ridiculous from this article.

A quote from the article:

“Last year, they had a one-off. They joined the ACC on a one-year basis I think it's better for Notre Dame to be in a conference because there are too many obstacles. Playing at home is great, but there is still a lot of risk involved. In two years, think about this, Notre Dame plays Clemson and Ohio State. They can be undefeated having beaten two of the top four teams in the country, and they still have to play (a first round game). That's ridiculous.”

Here is what is ridiculous and problematic about college football. Notice in the quote they point out that ND plays Clemson and Ohio State in two years. Notice they also assume, probably correctly, that Clemson and Ohio State will be "two of the top four teams in the country". That is a problem when you can predict who the top four teams are going to be in two years. That is a sad fact about the state of college football. It is ridiculous but true.
