Because it would be awesome, rather than playing on the road. And yes, it is the ultimate goal. ND does not want, and has no interest in actually winning a national championship. Let's be clear. They just want to host playoff games, that's it. Everything is geared towards that goal. It's plastered all over the football facilities, this mantra, this very specific objective, so there's no mistake. A championship is neither here nor there, not really concerned about that at all. We just want to host a 1st round playoff game. Every season, every year the program sets that as its ultimate and annual and perennial goal. If we do win a championship that would be fine, but that would simply make it easier to achieve our real goal of hosting 1st round playoff games in future seasons, on account of the enhanced prestige and improved recruiting.
