They are not going to be at four for long, though.

I know, and that definitely changes the game in ND's favor of staying Independent when that change comes.

But based on the current format, no conference affiliation hurts them. Not sure when playoff format would change, 2023?

Not sure....

2023 is the strongest rumored date for the expanded playoffs.

When the 12 team playoff starts, I wouldn't be surprised to see atleast 3 maybe 4 teams from SEC in it on a regular basis. ACC only has Clemson. Big 10 has Ohio State and occasionally Penn State & Wisconsin have good seasons. Pac 12 has Oregon and sometimes USC will have a decent season. It'll be fun to see which other programs can step up.

This will be interesting to see how it impacts the natural cycles of college football power.  There were years where many teams that are great now were normal or just ok teams.
Up and down is normal....but will it stay that way of they go power conferences?

(Reading the post above highlights this.  Michigan is not mentioned.  This is a college football powerhouse.  Oregon is mentioned and they are barely a blip on the radar, historically.  They were mostly awful.  ACC - FSU and Miami have better histories than Clemson.  SEC has always been great....but the teams that are great change.  (Before Saban, at least!))

Big upset with UNC losing. They don't play the best against unranked teams anyway, but shocked they lost.

F Me In The Brain

They've talked a big game - especially for a program that sucks.  
Happy to see them lose.
Stick to hoops, folks.  .

Good first week.  (First real week)
As much as I love to hate on Notre Dame, Brian Kelly trying to quote John McKay is awesome on a few levels.

He executed the joke so terribly that the announcers had to provide cover.  

He could have said... "There was a great coach named John McKay who was once asked how he felt about his team's execution and he replied 'I'm all for it!'.  Well I understand how he felt.  We need to get better, blah blah blah.  "
