Think about it. Notre Dame is 1-3. They are 1-2 against Non-ACC teams and 0-1 against ACC teams with the loss to Duke. Hypothetically speaking if Notre Dame were in the ACC they'd still be in position to win either the Atlantic or Coastal division with only the 1 ACC loss. There would still be plenty to play for in terms of finishing high in the ACC Standings or trying to win the ACC. But now, sitting at 1-3 and being an independant, about all they are truly playing for is pride and a shot at a decent Bowl like the Music City Bowl. A New Year's Six is out of the equation for Notre Dame this year but they'd still have a shot at a New Year's Six if they were in the ACC because the ACC Champion plays in the Orange Bowl if they don't make the Playoff.
It is just my opinion that Notre Dame is better off just jumping in the water and joining the ACC. Whether Notre Dame believes that is another matter.
