Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 2826346, member: 173"] If the conferences were able to eliminate divisions and have the top 2 teams play in a championship game, an autobid makes sense. The way the structure is set up now, it doesn’t...but I think if they went to an autobid and a 7-5 Borthwestern team pulledcan upset to go the playoff, the system would change quickly anyway. Some people seem to think an independent, undefeated Notre Dame getting left out would be a disaster for them. It’s a bigger disaster for whatever system led to that outcome. The system will break before Notre Dame does. The conferences can try to force Notre Dame into a conference - but doing so would require conferences to massively overestimate their leverage. [/QUOTE]
