I said from the beginning that Notre Dame should be in regardless of the ACC results. The real crime isn't making the College Football Playoff on the back of a blowout -- the real crime is conference title games in NFL stadiums.
A Tier (I normally am against having 2 teams from the same conference in a 4 team playoff but at least Notre Dame had a 1-1 split with the other team in their conference that made it.)
-3 - ND barely beat Clemson at home while Clemson was missing their star player and the blowout loss showed to me that they aren't deserving of the 4th spot. They can't claim they got better over time like A&M does when they're fresh off a 24 point loss and for that I leave them out of the top 4.
