The TV networks are furious about those stinker games based on decisions
Made. You tell me how Notre dame won and was dropped in final rankings allowing teams to jump them.
I promise you this. The TV networks who took a bloodbath of ratings will ensure that the committee changes things to ensure this type of disaster never happens again. They paid Notre vs Oregon money when they bid on TV rights and ended up with Oregon vs a D2 team in a matchup less competitive than the dodgeball game in Billy Madison.

ND and Vandy would have replaced Miami and Bama, both whom have won.
