Disagree that Conf Champs automatically deserve to be in. Hell, we’re talking about selecting the top 12 teams to participate in a playoff, and conference champs will almost always be among this group. But if not, they don’t deserve to be there.
Which is why people like you are not on the committee. I guess as a ND fan that could be, if not forgiven then at least to be expected. But unsurprisingly you've taken that to an extreme, like many ND fans, and not only do you cherish ND's precious independence, you have cultivated through years of long practice, a contempt for the existence of conferences at all, even though if everybody was independent, and there was no conferences, it would lose all meaning and it wouldn't be special or unique.
So like the gracious ND fan that you are, you accept and embrace and indeed cherish ND's special and unique 'independence', and you just don't want conferences to get anything. And you want everything about the structure and ethos of CFB to favor ND, and cater to ND, and all the rest of CFB, 100% of all teams, can eat cake. And ND fans get to eat that same cake, they get to have it and eat it too. And everybody has to eat it. But that's what the mob seems to want, and the SEC definitely seems to want, so they can get like, six teams in every year, even though typically ND fans live to spite and despise the SEC and anything they might want. But you have to make an exception this time.
