Their AD whined today because ACC didn’t push for them to be in the playoff. Hilarious, you won’t join their conference for football and get your way in CFB most of the time. I don’t care if they deserved the bid or not. Glad it didn’t go their way.

Had they joined the conference, they probably could have won and got a bye and at least the bid. Their AD said ACC did “ irreparable damage.” Really, join or shut up.
Aren't they waiting for an invitation to the B10.

For once they didn’t get any special treatment. However I agree with them they got screwed so the ACC would have a team in. Do I feel sorry for them - hell no. Join the Big 10.

I think Miami was going to be above them, if anything, they screwed ND in favor of Bama.

Blows the mind any school would think playing an ACC schedule would be a good idea... especially with no chance of ever being the conference champion. I dont care what year we're talking about. In hindsight at the very least... what a stupid move that was.

I don't know what response they expected. Did they think college football fans and other teams would rally around them? Everyone is just making fun of them.

It sucks to be a senior on that team with no pro future, realizing that without knowing it, you already played in your last game.

I read or saw somewhere that ND will always be independent due to some religious, corporate or founding father rule. Maybe someone else can shine a light on that. However they should not turn down a bowl invite and instead play to show the world what they missed. Pick the best team that is remaining and play them. Chumps
