aka--they've accepted bowl games aren't relevant
Anyone sad for Notre Dame?

They might have a case. Did you see that the ACC Network replayed the Miami Notre Dame game on a loop the other day?
Really ****** for Notre Dame to quit on the bowl game. Can't imagine being a senior and missing out on the last game you'll ever play because of a tantrum by your University.
How Miami (10-2) dose not make the ACC Championship game over (7-5) Duke is crazy. Should have been able to play for it vs UVA.
Antitrust laws, for all their focus on rational competition, sometimes produce irrational results
There is a ton of ND talk but what about BYU? Also jobbed….
FTR, I’d tune in to a Catholics v Mormons bowl.
I actually thought we could very well see BYU and Bama make it and both ND and Miami(FL) out. This would help sell the "losing your CCG doesn't hurt" idea and avoid the oddness of taking the Canes instead of the Irish despite their positions in the ranking the week prior.
They basically are part of the ACC bowl affiliations so likely the Gator Bowl.
Heck, Notre Dame is literally an affiliate member of the conference (in men's ice hockey) so that would be awkward.
I heard they have accepted a bid to play in the Stay at Home Depot bowl!
Zero benefit to having them in the B1G for hockey.
I hope the B1G doesn't take the bait and swallow Notre Dame. Let them join the SEC (where they would be a very poor fit anyway) where they and Texas could work relentlessly to destroy that conference.
The next time I think PSU is getting screwed, I'll try to remember that Miami didn't make the ACC championship and ND missed the playoff. Honestly never thought I’d see the day where the powers that be wouldn't move land and sea to get ND into the playoff.

Why do they get special treatment like this? It is their choice to forgo full membership in a league.

Well, Big XII admin fine coffers growing with three teams opting out.

Wut? No. We don't know if such a clause exists and there's no reason to think it's been violated in any way, shape or form, if it does.
This is just some punk arse whining babyman, walking away crying, and saying "my dad is going to beat up your dad" because he can't think of anything logical to say in the face of disappointment.

Did you know the CFP playoff committee which has three former coaches, watched a replay of Miami's dominating win over ND before the committee voted? Word I heard on radio was the coaches all agree ND was badly outplayed in that game so the head-to-head had an impact on the vote.

Because the others allow them to get away with it. I hate ND but as long as the conferences cater to them why shouldn't they take advantage?
Baylor shouldn't be fined. They were 5-7 and only in that situation because of others. We'll see though...if they do fine them even better to try to kill the bowls
Don't forget, last year all top 4 seeds lost their 1st game.
That's what you get for hitching your wagon to NBC as opposed to ESPN, home of the CFP...and the SEC and ACC.
Why so high? I hope every year for them goes exactly like this year did for PSU.
ACC Network showed the ND/Miami game for 24 hours straight the other day. Who owns ACC Network and why lobby so hard in this way?? I wonder….?
True. You could certainly argue Boise and AZ St werent top 4. But im not sure there is a case against Georgia and Oregon. They were top 4 teams.
The ACC has some weird tiebreaker rules. They (the ACC) screwed themselves.
In the year 2060, when the lastest version of Trivial Pursuit is out, there will be a question in the sports and leisure category: What did Notre Dame and Penn State football have in common during the 2025 season? Neither were invited to the 2025 CFB championship.

This is one of the dumbest posts. Notre Dump beat no one with a pulse. They lost to the two playoff teams they played. If they had any guts and joined a conference like the B10 or the ACC they would have 3 losses. If they had Penn State's schedule then they lose to Oregon, Indiana and Ohio State. They played no one and got exactly what they deserved. Bama beat Georgia at Georgia and earned their way to the SEC ccg. Notre Dump earned nada except a seat on the couch to whine and cry like the crybabies they are.
Been saying that for years and particularly after ND chose not to re-new their series with Penn State after losing 8 out of 12.
Alabama beat Georgia in the regular season. ND doesn't have any quality wins.
