NEGOTIATION Dame gets auto bid if top 12 even if someone is ranked higher!!

This is only if there is a 12-team playoff and also the

So, generally, if you are in the top 11, you are in. What's the big deal? **

Conflating “best” and “playoff” leads to seemingly inconsistent results

Why have any automatic qualifers for conference teams?**
TerryD • 12/15/25 12:33 PM ET
Why include teams that aren’t good enough to win their own league?
Tailgate Guru • 12/15/25 07:49 PM ET
Why not have the rule for anyone in the top 12, instead of just Notre Dame?

Fine by me

The answer is really simple. Kick them out of ACC….
CrystalCoveHokie • 12/15/25 10:46 AM ET
The ACC leadership is stupid, but they are not the old Big East
Tailgate Guru • 12/15/25 07:54 PM ET
That would be awesome.**
goldendomer • 12/15/25 11:28 AM ET
ND would laugh, no exit or GOR fees**
TerryD • 12/15/25 12:34 PM ET
That would be an ideal outcome.
goldendomer • 12/15/25 12:51 PM ET
Yep that would be best case scenario for ND
HokieAl • 12/15/25 12:45 PM ET
The ACC's ND home games in football are probably worth
Big12 guy • 12/15/25 11:13 AM ET
That’s two or three games per year
Tailgate Guru • 12/15/25 07:56 PM ET
That ND needs the scheduling agreement just as much?
RTFC • 12/15/25 11:28 AM ET
They don't NEED the ACC games. KU NEEDS the B12 games, VT NEEDS

The 2.5 avg ND games is dwarfed by 200+ ACC games, can we agree on that?
