[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 983354, member: 1199"] There are going to be six or seven at large spots for the CFP. It was thought the P5 would become the P4, but the PACn still has a vote and changes to the CFP must be unanimous. It is unlikely Oregon St and Washington St are going to vote themselves out of the CFP in order make room for the 3rd or fourth place teams from the B1G. While some financial inducement might change that, I think it will be six conference champions and six at large teams. Start thinking about Bama, uga, Texas, OU, and maybe another SEC team, along with Washington, Oregon, Michigan, tOSU, and PSU all vying for those six spots. Notre Dame has to beat out those folks. And, I imagine Clemson and FSU are both thinking this was the odd year where the ACC only had one team in the mix. Those conferences are also the conferences that an give regular schedule dates to ND that could make their SOS look pretty good. And, the B12 might also want a second place team. Ibelieve these enormous conferences are not going to give away spots in the CFP. Let's say the P4 conferences decide to pay the PACn to leave the CFP board. What would make sense for the B12 and ACC to vote to allow another SEC or B1G team in the CFP? Answer: a guarantee that two teams from each P4 conference are automatic, with the conference champion getting a 1st round bye. If that happpens, ND will have to be one of three at large teams.
