Okay, so even if Texas doesn't jump ND, Bama and BYU are real threats
If both win their conference championships (a decent possibility) and there are no upsets of so-far sure-thing teams, ND is out.

This might be a season where no conference championship game for ND hurts them.

Why is a 2 loss tex tech considered a lock if they lose? .

They are if their 2nd loss is in the conference championship game
We need West Virginia to pull off an upset today.
ND has won 9 in a row since losing to two top teams and will hopefully win #10 this evening. They
are one of the best and most exciting teams in the country with a huge following. They generate a ton of revenue which is largely what this playoff is all about anyway. The committee knows all of this. Like it or not, agree or not, college football is always better when ND is a major factor. I say without hesitation that ND will get in.
You must be fun during a fire.

What did he say that was wrong? Need to worry about Michigan beating OSU as well
While we play the Trees
Worry about what we can control. If we get bounced, so be it. The Committee has been "fair" to us.
At least in the sense that we have a good shot to make it. Sometimes the stars align against you. In this case, the stars being the major conferences who want the revenue and the personalities who want the clicks.
Simple as that…just “Play Like a Champion” and let others do the worrying.

This is spot on.

There are still a fair number of realistic scenarios that leave us either out or
Right on the edge. We need things to go certain ways. Happens that there are more scenarios we get in than left out and we control one small part of that by winning tonight. A Texas win last night increases the percentages of the left out scenarios.
Those doomsday scenarios will leave us out. No way around it.
Yes, that’s what happens when you start 0-2
Unfortunately can’t control your own fate at that point, but thus far we’ve certainly done everything we can to strongly influence it for the better.
