If Alabama, Clemson and OU all win their final games and OU has an impressive win over Texas (i.e. exhibits that they have a pulse on defense) then I think ND should be the 4th seed. ND fans would go nuts but the committee is supposed to make an objective decision. As an Alabama fan, I would much rather play ND than OU.
Notre Dame should be seeded fourth

The committee can't keep all of the bias and outside noise out of the process. If OU wins Saturday, and Alabama does as well, the desire to match Tua against Murray will be too strong to do anything else. They also don't want ND eliminated in round 1, and they will see Clemson as about 5% more likely to lose to the Irish.
I agree with that. They have been unimpressive in their wins. Thing is, they want to see Tua and Murray go against each other.
Then again, they want to see Saban and Meyer go against each other too, so.....

It's exactly what I've been saying the rankings will look like come Sunday of those teams win out. ND will fall because a ranked team played another ranked team, regardless of conference championship, while ND did not.

I wouldnt. I want us to play in Dallas, and not Miami. Plus beating the domers would be sweet.
ND has an additional strike against them.
Everyone else is playing an additional game.
Lack of a conference game should bite ND on the butt.
Who we play will not affect where we play. As the number 1 seed (just beat GA) we get get sent wherever is considered best for us. I think Dallas is closer.
Isn't dropping a spot a punishment? Resulting in Alabama vs ND (if we beat Georgia.)

Another reason I think ND would drop to 4. Otherwise, you have OU (if they win) playing essentially a home game in Dallas.
That's a definitive edge for the last place team.

Thats not correct. If the #4 has a clear geographical advantage then the #1 vs #4 game is played at the alternate site. That is mostly used in an event in which teams like Texas is the #4 seed and the Cotton Bowl is the semi final, but whether or not Oklahoma has a clear geographical advantage by playing in the Cotton Bowl is being debated. Most believe the committee will send us to Miami if we draw Oklahoma.
I'm relatively confident we would play in Miami if we played OU.
From the CFP website....
OU would have a clear home crowd advantage in Dallas.
That said flying to dallas is cheaper for me so I hope I'm wrong if we do play OU
Most are wrong. Dallas (Bryant Denny west) is where I think they'd send them solely for Bama being 1st, and that instead of them dumping OU into 4th they would take the easy choice and send ND that way.
Jerry dome....Bama vs ND. Come on....they'd build another level on the stadium for all the seats they'd sell.

"I'm afraid for us to play OU, so this committee should help us out by making sure Clemson gets tired playing OU in the first round. Meanwhile, if I sit here and actually say unrelated stuff, nobody will notice that my motivation for this whole thing is my own personal fear of us losing to OU."
Did that adequately summarize it?
My view?
Better to get OU with the 3 weeks to prepare.
We're not disagreeing on the same thing.
If OU is 4th, then yes, I absolutely agree they don't play in Texas.
I'm saying that they will be ranked #3, so this isn't an issue.

Im hoping and praying for a UA vs ND game in Dallas for many reason, but the #1 is a for sure Dallas game
Makes a lot of sense. I do agree, that it would give OU an advantage for us to play in Dallas.
