Notre Dame path to a title

I hate to say or think this but here is how I see this playing out.

ND loses to Clemson - Tigers must win Saturday
Ala beats Fla - remains #1 in polls
OSU runs it up on NW

Final 4 seeds Tuesday look as follows:

1 - Ala
2 - Clemson
3 - OSU
4 - ND

Ala vs ND in Sugar bowl - home game practically for Ala
Clemson vs OSU in Rose bowl

Committee would love this because none of these teams played in the regular season

Ala vs Clemson in title game

Tell me again why a conference is a good thing for ND?
