Mediocre recent signature game record
Does not play in a conference championship
Comparatively weak schedule (4 non-Power teams in 2024)
If FL State at 13 - 0 was snubbed. ND will be given few if any breaks to get into the playoff mix.
P.S. I know that Alabama and the rest get a pass on scheduling 3 chump opponents,
but perception is reality. ND is not perceived as a legitimate highest status program.
Those 4 chump opponents hurt ND.
