6 or 7, maybe 8

the Domers haven't proven to be good
You've already given three, each of which was rather questionable. 

Who are the other five? 

...bearing in mind the Domers swept their P5 competition this year.

Give all the 2-loss big boys Cincinnati's schedule and tell me they're not undefeated, too.  Full focus on ND for that 1 week and coast the rest of the season. 
It's not complicated.
We'll send them to the imaginary playoff.

Most P5 teams wouldn't get past Notre Dame with UC's schedule. Big Ten and SEC might have two or three teams that could beat the domes. Pac 12, Big 12 and ACC might have one team between them that could beat the Domers more than once in ten tries.
FSU took ND to overtime, VT and Toledo lost to them by a field goal.  Are we speaking of the same team?  ND needs Alabama and Oklahoma St or Michigan to lose to enter the discussion and they really shouldn't get in over an undefeated or one loss Cincy tbh. If the door opens up for ND this will be a shitty playoff.

Their September performances were a little up and down, but then they caught fire down the stretch. 

Not really all that abnormal of a formula for a title contender. 2014 OSU, for example.

No argument there. 

Both could win any P5 division except the B1G East, SEC East or SEC West.

Ok you had me going until you said title contender lol well played.  The problem is ND's schedule is almost as anemic as Cincy's.  I mean they showed lackluster ACC who's the boss I suppose and mixed in Navy and a few PAC 10 bottom feeders to boot.

How many teams in the Big Ten could beat Wisconsin by 4 TDs?

ND's schedule was weak.  But to lump it in with Cincinnati's is just incorrect.

<---a good schedule

Agreed. Both teams would be in the running for the divisional title, and neither would finish outside of the top 2.
