Did Notre Dame and Pete Bevacqua overplay their hand a bit in the wake of the College Football Playoff snub? Calling out the ACC and the CFP committee while having a possibly easier path to the postseason next year has rubbed more than a few conference commissioners the wrong way.
Bevacqua announced on Sunday that the Fighting Irish won't go to a bowl this year, and on Monday and Tuesday, he took aim at the ACC's Jim Phillips for the way the conference dragged ND on social media in favor of Miami. However, while people were already annoyed by Bevacqua's tactics, a report on Sunday that the Irish have an MOU that would have had them in the field if it were 2026 has outraged them.
