The Notre Dame football team believes it's made its case for the College Football Playoff. The problem is, so does Miami, Oklahoma, and Alabama. While the Fighting Irish seemingly moved a step closer to locking up a bid with Boise State's Mountain West crown and Texas Tech's Big 12 blowout, there is still a chance they'll have to settle for a bowl game. Should that happen, reports have surfaced about where they'd go.
There isn't a single Irish fan who wants ND to go to a bowl game instead of the College Football Playoff. It would be absolutely infuriating, especially because missing out would mean getting bumped down without playing a game.
