So, imagine Michigan and UGA win but OkSU and Cincinnati lose.  Is ND in the playoff?  100%?

And who else?

1.  UGA
2.  Michigan
3.  Notre Dame?
4.  ....... Ohio State?  Baylor?  

This scenario is fairly plausible.

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

<---a good schedule

suck and suck worse, not a bi\g deal when talking about the top 4

not nearly as many as could beat ND by 4TDs

You have to back it up with a list. 

Big Ten teams that would beat Wisconsin by 4 TD, bearing in mind that Michigan and Iowa didn't: 


Big Ten teams that could beat Notre Dame by 4 TDs, bearing in mind that Purdue and Wisconsin didn't:

Ohio St has the better resume, Baylor is a P5 conference champ, Houston would be 12-1 with a win over Cincy, Bama is SEC SEC SEC.
ND is in

In the end, the 4 seed is irrelevant.  They'll just be emasculated in front of all the eyeballs.

How many teams in the Big Ten could beat Wisconsin by 4 TDs?
How many Big Ten teams could beat FSU without needing OT or Toledo and VT by more than a field goal?  

Just give me Georgia, Alabama, UM and Oklahoma St at this point so we can avoid a playoff of Georgia against three 4 seeds.

I'm against Cincy making the playoffs, but I'm more against Notre Dame making it instead of Cincy.

Could Notre Dame beat the Badgers by 4 TDs next Saturday afternoon?

beating the badgers by 4 TDs???

Ohio St is the easy pic.  Michigan beat the Badgers by 21, could it have been 28, probably.  Minnesooota won by 10, could it have been 28, some Gophers think so.  If Nebraska played a clean game????, not likely, but if could happen.
Beating the Irish by 4 TDs???

see above list, perhaps even Michigan State

Just the times the 4 seed was a joke.  
You know good and well your dogs are THE team this year.  And if they play Cincinnati, the Bearcats aren't scoring double digits.

Wisconsin was beating ND 13-10 in the fourth quarter before executing a bed shitting for the record books that somehow is now being interpreted as a start to finish beat down.  Wisconsin out gained ND in total yardage and held them to 3 yards rushing for the entire game.  Wisconsin started the season with a horrible turnover ratio including 5 turnovers in this game alone with two pick sixes in final minutes of the game.

Look at the AP poll.  Aside from Cincinnati, the top 13 teams are strictly ordered by number of losses.
It's embarrassing.  They're 4 year olds.
.
And aside from Utah, you can go down to 23 before you see any deviation from ranking teams by losses, WITH G5 teams having a 1-loss 'penalty.'
.
It's just so two-dimensional.
