I think your sentiment is correct... by irishdemon

Deep down - in places they don't talk about at parties - the committee doesn't want Notre Dame in the playoffs.

They know we haven't beaten anybody. They know what happened the last two times we've been there. They don't think very highly of this particular team - for the same reasons - many on this board have expressed angst over this season, this team and the fool's gold of a soft as shit November schedule.

That's why the prospect of an 11 win Alabama team still getting in over an 11 win ND team is still very real despite Bama losing to Georgia. I don't think though that Baylor has the cachet to hurdle ND with two losses. It's almost like ND needs to be just left their standing at the gate while Cincinnati and Oklahoma St. collapse at the finish line - and it will be like, "Oh okay, fuck it, I guess you guys are in."

Again though, we'll know what they really thinks of ND on Tuesday. Will Oklahoma St. jump us? Will Ohio St. be parked in front of us as we fall to #7?

If that happens, just pull for for Cincinnati to make the playoffs so ND can go to the Fiesta Bowl and avoid the Peach Bowl and that snoozer of a date with the ACC champ.
