You are right that the trend has been shifting to conference
champions making the Playoff. However, is the Committee also concern with making the most bang for its buck too? If so, then Notre Dame could go an extended period of time without making the Playoff and still be in the running the next time it goes 10-2. Also, if 1-2 of the conference champions are not considered a "blue blood," then it may be tough for the Committee to pick that champion over Notre Dame (who is a "blue blood"). Things could even get interesting when the Committee does compare Notre Dame with other "blue bloods." I am not sure if we will see a Committee ever have the conjones to tell the network covering the Playoffs and Notre Dame to indirectly join a conference as a full member by leaving them out of the Playoffs.
