What's this?

Same one I have been saying

The Committee is not bound to select conference champs only and can essentially pick whomever they feel are the best teams, despite what is written or said otherwise.

ND has not been and is not currently worried (assuming it will ever be good again) about the current playoff setup being any serious threat to football indy status.

We needed them to get the forthcoming ACC network. ** -- Femoyer Hokie 12/01/2016 5:15PM

The ACC doesn't -need- ND. But a full time addition would be huge. ** -- reestuart 12/01/2016 5:12PM

It tells us that a 0 or 1 loss ND will almost always be in. ** -- chuckd4vt 11/30/2016 8:30PM

We'd have to ask the committee. It is they who are doing it. -- HOO86 11/30/2016 12:09PM

We both know the Committee will never give the public an honest answer -- VTHokie2000 11/30/2016 12:19PM

Yup. Conference championships are important, but only when -- reestuart 11/30/2016 07:56AM

I'm one of those and you may be right. If PSU wins the B1G, owns head -- daveinop 11/30/2016 07:52AM

Good on you. I'll call myself out if OSU doesn't make it. Couple pts -- Colonel Jessup 11/30/2016 08:42AM

It is supposed to be how they are playing lately. Use both vs Mich State. -- HOO86 11/30/2016 11:59AM
