#2 and unranked aren’t the same. Obviously, I want ND would win a championship. But short of that, I’d like to see the highest ranking.

The final AP ranking is unlikely to have any impact on recruiting this year. But a ranking final ranking might assist with next year's class. It can't hurt.

1)Clemson, 2)Bama, 3)OSU, 4)Okla,5) ND,
while there is an argument ND could have been 3 or 4, I have no complaints, I saw it coming...3 points scored will leave a bad taste in the mouths of the voters especially when OKla scored 34 in other semi, no matter how tainted..Bama getting rolled did not help one bit..
I think it is likely that most pollsters had their ballots filled out before last night, leaving only #1 and #2 to be determined. The assumption that ND "didn't belong" because of a 27-point loss to Clemson being factored in. It probably wasn't fully reconsidered after Bama lost to the same team by 28. ND should be #3. I don't see any honest way around that.

Those who end up in the playoffs should never drop out of the top 4.
