[QUOTE="Showtime Joe 2.0, post: 3019649, member: 70002"] Actually, the Notre Dame AD was part of the four-man task force that met secretly for over a year before coming up with the 12-team scheme. The other members of the task force were the SEC commissioner, the Big 12 commissioner, and the MWC commissioner. So, Notre Dame must’ve known what they were doing. Sure, they’ll never get a bye under the proposed system but if they have a 12-0 or 11-1 team in a given year, they’ll get a #5 seed and face the #12 seed in the 1st round, which is as good as it gets if you’re not going to get a bye. Also, under the proposed system, the Irish will be playoff locks in years that they finish 9-3 or better. Like every other school in the country, they just want to get a seat at the table as often as they can. Finally, Notre Dame could simply decide to join the ACC in football as they have in all the other sports and then they’d be eligible for a bye. That doesn’t seem likely now but it will remain an option. Anyway, kudos to the ND AD for helping to spearhead the drive for an expanded playoff system. I can’t wait for this system to be put in place! [/QUOTE]
