Do you think ND will be forced/compelled at some point to join a conference due to the new CFB playoff system? All other teams will have 1 extra conference championship game that could allow them to bump ND out of a playoff spot. Say two undefeated SEC teams meet in the conference championship game. One is ranked 2 and and one is 5. ND is also undefeated and ranked 4 before the conference championships. 5 beats 2 in OT. Does #2 fall to #5 and out of the picture or do they bump ND for the 4th spot? Say this happens several times to ND. Does this have enough impact on the ND fan base to make a move into a conference more palatable?

How about a 1 loss ND team being left out to several 1 or possibly a 2 loss teams that show greater strength based on the conference championship game? That extra game will certainly boost their strength of schedule/RPI (for lack of a better term). How many exclusions from the playoff will it take for the ND fan base to start wanting to join a conference?
