just heard this mentioned for the first time tonight so went and looked it up. Per the BCS criteria for selecting the four teams for the college football playoff:
The criteria to be provided to the selection committee must be aligned with the ideals of the commissioners, presidents, athletic directors and coaches to honor regular season success while at the same time providing enough flexibility and discretion to select a non-champion or independent under circumstances where that particular non-champion or independent is unequivocally one of the four best teams in the country.
How does ND qualify under that high standard if OU, Iowa, or MSU wins out?
