I just saw the latest projection that shows the Irish playing in the Sugar Bowl versus Alabama, with Clemson and Ohio State duking it out in the Rose Bowl. Now my starting point is that I want to be in the playoffs, so that is a given answer to the "you just need to be happy you are one of the four selected" and the "it doesn't matter - you have to beat two of the best teams in the country to win it all" arguments, so don't waste electrons on making those arguments.
I thought that the #1 seed played the #4 seed and #2 player #3. Alabama, as #1 would slot into the Sugar Bowl, which should put #2 Notre Dame into the Rose Bowl. Can you imagine the Irish playing in the "Grandaddy of them all"? Not since the 1925 Rose Bowl - the 11th - have the Irish played in that august event. So bring on whomever and where ever, but I would love to play in the Rose Bowl...
