It will backfire.

They aren't leaving an undefeated Notre Dame out, even if it's against Mac teams, service academies and fcs schools.
The message was just sent. They will definitely leave ND out.

Not an undefeated ND. Not in a 12 team playoff. Even if they played a G5 schedule.

Far more severe than disincentivizing them to play tough games, but forbidding it.  That's the schools' plan.

But the committee is going to keep a 12-0, 11-1 ND in a holding pattern at 13th?  I don't see it, no matter the schedule.  It may backfire.

This is the equivalent to a bunch of middle school girls seeking to alienate and exclude certain classmates.   Gotta love the  juvenile 'leadership' of College football.

Sure, but ND is acting like she's hot shit when she's mid, lol.  


I honestly don't see the problem of ND not earning a spot and then turning down a bowl every year.  
(earning it = not being a bubble team)

See how long they go before caving in.  Maybe never.  Fine by me.

When NBC decides it's not gonna want to cover MAC, low-level non-P2 and service academy football, it's over.

why would old muleshoe want a 3rd loss and miss the playoff by scheduling ND?  Why would the Big Ten want that?

similar to Texas scheduling Ohio St....... USC was ranked #16 when they lost to ND after beating Michigan the week before.  If Muleshoe had played  Washington St or San Diego st and won, they'd have only 2 losses (@Illinois & @Oregon)  they'd be in the playoff

I call bullshit on the 0.1% for JMU and Tulane.  It's much lower.
