I'm not sure it harms ND.  Television viewers are important to ESPN's Selection Committee, and this makes for a compelling storyline.
Do you mean harms their chances of getting in or performing because of a coach who bailed?

If they ran the table they'd still be in of course, but as a bubble team it has to be a pretty big ding.

Coach a team that he is ghosting? 

It's a bold strategy, cotton.

I don't think it harms their chances of getting in.  And it potentially helps them.  It's a compelling storyline.  ESPN wants good TV.

IF UGA snags a win Saturday, I'm hoping UC is 4th, mostly because we played them a year ago.  I hope Michigan is a 2 seed, they look pretty tough, at times.

I'd rather Bama be out.  Oklahoma State looks pretty good to me also.

Nope.  Not at all.  Don't want any part of Ohio State either.  Not crazy about the "good Michigan" team.

but perhaps not in the quarterfinal

get past that one and any crazy thing can happen, might be served on a platter in the final
no sense having to play well twice in a row

That's kinda the point. 

I ain't cryin' any rivers for teams that make it to the CFP and don't win the NC 'cause they couldn't play well two weeks in a row.

None of those are my team, so I don't really give a rat's ass.
