[Closed] Dallas, Here we come...

If Notre Dame had to play a full ACC schedule, instead of just playing a few each season in a compromise to get ND in the league in other sports and keep ND able to take NBC TV money, Notre Dame would have had to either play Clemson in the regular season or in the ACC championship in Charlotte. Needless to say, that would have changed the playoff equation a lot. ND should just be thankful they got to this point. It isn’t as if they lost a close game due to refball or something like that. 

We all knew it was a two team tournament, Alabama and Clemson are heads and shoulders better than anyone.
