ESPN article: Why Notre Dame could cause major CFP headaches


"We accept the consequence of playing one fewer game and understand there are years where that could be to our disadvantage," Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick said this spring.

"'Our obligation as a program is to figure out how to use it to promote the university. Independence allows me to promote the university -- a la the Shamrock Series -- that would be hard to do otherwise. You wind up comparing the two and say, 'Yeah, we're comfortable with that. We understand there may be times it's going to hurt, but that's all right."

  Why would Bama ever schedule that game over the iron bowl? -- crabcake77 06/15/2016 12:15PM
  What if Notre Dame had beaten Clemson? -- lawhokie 06/15/2016 10:20AM
  I think Stanford replaces Clemson. ND lost to them late. ND wasn't -- daveinop 06/15/2016 10:28AM
  Possible but I'd see Notre Dame over Stanford there... -- lawhokie 06/15/2016 10:42AM
  Again, conferences own the playoffs. -- crabcake77 06/15/2016 12:24PM
  But if ND is a legit top 4, they aren't going to get screwed. -- Maroon Baboon 06/15/2016 9:23PM
  ND schedule: 3 away games (Texas, NC State, & USC). 3 "neutral" -- manassashoo 06/15/2016 08:09AM
  Playing the defending P12 and B1G champions might help a little -- lawhokie 06/15/2016 08:52AM
  If ND would have won @Clemson, clearly they would have went over Clemson -- Maroon Baboon 06/15/2016 10:14AM
  They probably would not have gone in over Stanford. -- daveinop 06/15/2016 10:40AM
  OSU played only two ranked teams and lost one of those games -- lawhokie 06/15/2016 11:33AM
  So this is the language guiding the selection -- daveinop 06/15/2016 2:51PM
  Simple solution. Go undefeated. Problem solved. ** -- TerryD 06/15/2016 2:59PM
  Not so fast my friend. Gotta assume -- East Cobb Hokie 06/15/2016 5:45PM

  Comparing Notre Dame to Billy & Mary? -- Old Line Hokie 06/14/2016 9:27PM
  So you think Notre Dame might lose a coach because of playoff access? -- lawhokie 06/14/2016 9:29PM
  Agree. But 18 year old talent would be influenced. -- East Cobb Hokie 06/15/2016 1:34PM
  His point is over time that it will be harder for ND to compete not -- ColumbusHokie 06/15/2016 07:34AM
  Looks pretty tough to me. -- ChrisLords 06/15/2016 01:56AM
  Two 'tough' road games UT (5-7), USC (8-6) in 2015 -- lawhokie 06/15/2016 08:19AM
  This is the pecking order: -- Maroon Baboon 06/14/2016 6:51PM
