Can ND schedule a 13th game to partially mitigate the lack of a conference champ game?

It only works if it is a high quality opponent

I can't figure a way to get a higher quality opponent.

Why? It's a legit question in the era of playoffs. If a "13th data point" (stupid term) is being

Yes. Don’t take anything for granted. And try to eliminate any disadvantage that might cost you.

Why in the world would you think we need a 13th game to make our schedule even tougher than it is?

Fingers are crossed, but I'm not that concerned and don't think it will be an issue going forward

Playing The Citadel would be a good start.

I think it's less about 13 games and more about common opponents, head-to-head and the impression

How about requiring 12 FBS data points ?

Shift the talking heads convo to the value of Clemson-Furman or UGA-Austin P or Bama-Citadel.

Probably easier to add a couple more playoff spots.

Sure. How about scheduling the Citadel. It counts for Alabama.

I didn’t realize they scheduled THREE FCS opponents. That’s disgraceful.

Louisiana- Lafayette and Arkansas State are (barely) FBS schools. By rule you can only schedule one

Absolutely, positively right. Remember the days of 10 games. 10 is good enough. then they could do

I agree with the sentiment of fewer games, if it is across the board.

Amazing how a 13th game is so key for ND's chances with a loss...but didn't matter for Ohio State...

Not getting the 13th game likely cost 1-loss OSU in 2015.

I get where it can...but it does not always. Others without a "13th data point" can get in with one

Schedule a Big10 West team, it's essentially a MAC team, but the media think's it's worth something.

A 13th game can only be for conference championship games. And of course Hawaii.

NCAA doesn't allow currently except for Conf. Champs and the "Hawaii Exemption".

Yes, if it is Hawaii. But it isn't really a problem. Unless you listen to ESPN

Nobody thinks it’s a problem for an undefeated ND, like this year.

I agree it isn’t a problem this year. But it could be in the future.

Schools like UGA and OSU have it potentially when they need it. ND never will.
