Then why did the Big 12 vote the championship game? They know the winners

of the conference championship game will get a nod over a non-winner. This is not just money.

The committee has said that winning your conference championship game does boost your chances. The rules have changed and the last couple of years have shown it.

If ND makes the CFP & knocks off 2 P5, what happens to the criteria? -- Stech 06/15/2016 12:43PM

I just went back and looked at ND's football history -- BigCrumpy 06/15/2016 4:27PM

Remember that ND affiliated with the BE because -- BigCrumpy 06/15/2016 4:24PM

ND must have a perfect recort to even have a shot -- EDGEMAN 06/15/2016 1:57PM

ND could easily be top 4 with 1 loss. No guarantee, but too many variables** -- jesuisvtguy 06/15/2016 3:15PM

I can understand the skepticism going into the first year of the CFP, but -- daveinop 06/16/2016 08:46AM

"Unequivocal" is a subjective term -- TerryD 06/16/2016 10:49AM

A little...I'm used to dealing with "reasonable certainty" as a standard -- daveinop 06/17/2016 11:53AM

Just don't see them passing too many 12-1 teams. ** -- chuckd4vt 06/15/2016 11:25PM

How about if UNC had won the ACCCG in 2015? -- lawhokie 06/16/2016 09:10AM

So, ND beats Clemson and loses to Stanford? -- daveinop 06/16/2016 10:00AM

Don't see how UNC gets in over Notre Dame in that case -- lawhokie 06/16/2016 12:06PM

You make some good points. Here's how I looked at it -- daveinop 06/16/2016 9:41PM

And that is why there is a committee. ** -- East Cobb Hokie 06/17/2016 1:04PM

Respectfully disagree. ND is in a one an done situation. One loss and -- DMaroonHokie 06/15/2016 8:12PM

Maybe with a loss in the first couple of games. Any November -- seekoHoG 06/15/2016 7:17PM

Agree. Also, ND only has one vote of 25 or so. ** -- East Cobb Hokie 06/16/2016 2:07PM

That loss better be early, and to a P5 champ...preferably the SEC champ ** -- EDGEMAN 06/15/2016 4:33PM

I don't know their future schedules but I think you're optimistic -- BigCrumpy 06/15/2016 4:23PM

That's right they need to be 12-0 unless their are some really bad record -- Stech 06/15/2016 6:50PM

Everyone knows it can happen now, so why wait? -- Maroon Baboon 06/15/2016 1:33PM

It was done on purpose of couse, ND used it's brand -- goldendomer 06/15/2016 2:02PM

Path to CFB is easier in a Conference -- East Cobb Hokie 06/15/2016 1:06PM
