Not playing in a conference will hurt Notre Dame’s ability to earn a bye in the proposed 12-team College Football Playoff field. School athletic director Jack Swarbrick confirmed that news on Thursday.

https://saturdaytradition.com/big-ten-football/no-free-passes-notre-dame-will-not-qualify-for-a-bye-in-proposed-college-football-playoff-format/?fbclid=IwAR2btz8h1gI9yq3rhSJ6PauV8_4RiNWlD1fj4j8JnCP_04AjSQet8DAJh38

The four highest-ranked conference champions would receive a first-round bye opportunity. Since Notre Dame is still not joining a conference, the Fighting Irish would not qualify for an automatic spot in the quarterfinals.

“I look forward to never hearing how we played one less game or never had a conference championship,” Swarbrick said on Thursday after confirming that Notre Dame would not qualify for a bye.

Still think it's terrible. 6 is too many at-large. 

IMHO 5+1+2 is the perfect compromise. Or perhaps even 6+2 if you just want to make it the top 6 ranked conference champions to avoid potentially unworthy P5 champs getting in. 

But 12, with 6 at-large? Nope.

Yeah, but supposedly they're the ones pushing for 6 at-large. If there are only two at-large, then it makes it much more difficult for them to get in as an independent. 

So I hate 6 at-large partly because I think it sucks, but I hate it EXTRA because it'll benefit ND.

Will they do straight seeding? Or will they regionalize it? Or stipulate that teams from the same conference have to be split into different quadrants? Some combination of all three?

I'd just note en passant that UGA is 3-0 against ND ....

Huskers are 3-0 vs the Domers since the 73 Orange bowl massacre 40-6 victory in Devaney's last game

and I attended the 2000 and 2001 victories

8-7-1 all-time

and a victory in 1922 vs the vaunted Four Horsemen

I like 6-2 better than 5-1-2, it had just never even crossed my mind

I still like the idea that your conference championship means something, REGARDLESS of how you got it. 

Back in 2012 before Purdue imploded, it seemed like the B1G was coming down to Purdue v Wisconsin, since both OSU and PSU were ineligible for the postseason. 

I would have hated to have Purdue raise the B1G trophy that year and then be told they were "not good enough" for the next step--EVEN IF it was basically an asterisk year. 

I understand the rationale for it, but it's again a situation where a conference championship means something--except when it doesn't.

we need many more upsets in conference champ games

that might cause them to be dumped for real champions

5-1-2 or 6-2 are good.

12 under any format sucks.

I have spoken.

But in reality it was Wisconsin as the Big Ten champion, after finishing 3rd in their division, which is even lamer than what the 20 Ducks did.

Does the trophy still say "Champion" on it?
