If anything, it proves they DON'T need to join any conference. They went undefeated, their schedule included Michigan, Florida State, Va Tech, Syracuse, Stanford, USC, etc.....its not ND's fault those teams sucked this year. College football teams schedule their opponents years in advance. Kinda hard to predict the future.
Why does Georgia deserve to be in? They got SMOKED by LSU. Can't say that about ND.
Why does OSU deserve to be in? They got depantsed by Purdue? Can't say that about ND.
LSU? Really?
Central Florida, without their QB? Just proves we should go to an 8 team playoff.
Sure, it's wonderful for Notre Dame. Their fans get to pretend that they're a real team all year until they get whacked in the semi. It sucks for everyone else who want a competitive championship series. Georgia deserves to be in because the took Bama to the mat. LSU beat the team that took Bama to the mat. Either team would beat touchdown Jesus' brains out. OSU would, too. Just because some flukey shit happened vs Purdue doesn't mean they don't have the talent to wax the Irish. ND barely beat USC when they started a floundering freshman quarterback. Haskins would eat them alive. Point taken about the South Florida QB scenario.
I would bet a paycheck on Kentucky if they played the Golden Domers. Without hesitation. Same goes for the Gators.
ND has likely seen their last trip to the group of 4. Nobody wants to see that embarrassing shit again. They are insulated against the meat grinder of conference play. Once all the old folks pass on and the nostalgia trip wears off, that TV deal will disappear and they'll be begging to join a power 5 conference.
