Notre Dame, from 2026, will be guaranteed a CFP spot with a top 12 ranking.

This is utterly insane. They have an absolute cupcake schedule. They are lucky to play more than 3 teams with a pulse each year.

They will find a way to lose a couple.

The SEC & B1G should demand 5 teams each as long as they are ranked in the top 12 that cannot get bumped to counteract this. Better yet - just bolt from the deal and create their own playoff between the 2 leagues.

Kinda makes me wonder if the committee disapproved of this and took it out on ND this year. If so, good for them!

Take it out on them next year. Keep them ranked 13 no matter what their record is.

Does this mean ranked in the top 12 the week before the final CFP selection?

Is this definitely true? Their schedule next year is soo easy. It's pitiful.

They play Miami and USC. And ten scrimmages.

I can't imagine the SEC and Big10 agreeing to this and knowing one of their teams could get bumped.
