Also, can someone explain to me why Notre Dame insists on remaining independent? Seems ridiculous to me.

Got to set their own schedule and were making more TV money that way. now they can make just as much money if not more joining the Big10. and the playoff rules kinda go against independents.
they joined the ACC in all sports other then football like 10 years ago and have to schedule 4 or 5 ACC teams a year, which is what killed the ND vs Michigan and Michigan State games.

For now. Kirby hates it and has been trying to get it back to alternating home venues ever since he got to Georgia. There has been some talk over the last couple of years that they could end the neutral site for the game.

Are they joining the Big 10?
Just seems like there'd be more advantages to them joining a conference now, rather than going it alone. But I might be misreading that.

It might just come down to how the committee judge them being independent compared to teams that play in-conference. An SEC or Big 10 team with the same record you would assume would be ranked higher due to strength of schedule.

Independents get punished for no championship game and generally the schedule is weaker.
and there is the power 2 bias within the room and there is no commissioner that can go on a PR campaign with the commentators.

That is true but is also somewhat fair since the strength of the SEC and Big 10 far outweighs the Big 12 and ACC. What will really kill them is the 6 auto bids with one of them going to a non-P4 team. That leaves 6 spots up for grabs for them and there will a lot of competition for places.

Its all irrelevant anyway. ND always find ways to sink a season before they make a playoff push.
Considering Gainesville is down the road while Athens is more than a few hours away. I can understand how Georgia would prefer the home and home games over the neutral site game.

An almost all defensive top 5?! College football's top 100 players for 2024
With relatively few established superstars, college football's top 100 players for 2024 might have some surprises.
Feel for Washington being absolutely plundered not only by declarations but also transfers out.
They’ll fall heavily

I'm sure this is exactly what they had in mind with NIL, it's moved in a blink of an eye from a bit of sponsorship from a local car dealer to Lamborghinis and NIL collectives.

The school announced Tuesday that the Cowboys will sport QR codes on their helmets linking to the school's NIL fund, believed to be a first in college football.

NIL being unregulated was a mistake. its taken the boosters out of the shadows but its still as shady.I'm sure this is exactly what they had in mind with NIL, it's moved in a blink of an eye from a bit of sponsorship from a local car dealer to Lamborghinis and NIL collectives.

Sure some schools are doing it the right way and keeping the seedy boosters away and having a cap on NIL money. but the big schools its an arms race where they dont want to know as long as the money gets them the players.
