While Notre Dame football is still dealing with the fallout from having the rug pulled out from under it by the College Football Playoff committee, athletic director Pete Bevacqua revealed a kind of "back door" MOU that could make it much harder to keep the Fighting Irish out of the CFP in 2026 and beyond.
Bevacqua was incensed on Sunday afternoon after watching his school get dropped in the CFP standings despite sitting idle this weekend. His anger stemmed from the idea that the committee had Notre Dame in the playoffs for the last month, but then dropped them on the previous weekend.
