Strength of schedule issue again for ND...
ND gets in automatically if we finish in the Top 12. But can ND finish in the Top 8 for a playoff home field game with 11-1 record and a win over Miami? Note that Miami's schedule is also lame.
People will be screaming bloody murder again about ND's strength of schedule against 2 loss SEC teams like Bama.
What hurts ND is its coupling with an ACC in which Florida State, Clemson and VA Tech have fallen off the table as top tier programs. The conference itself gets no respect.
