And petitions for a "Independents Championship Game" would they have enough clout to get one? Wouldn't that be a better scenario than if we even got into a Big XII that clearly doesn't want us?

Really? You think playing an unranked BYU team would do a lick of good?

Ask Baylor and TCU what not playing on the last week did for them last season.

What in the world? So, say BYU is 5-7. Are you saying it is better for ND

When was he last time either BYU or ND was 5-7?

Ok, how about 8-4? 7-5? 9-3? A team on the brink of the playoffs would not benefit from

What if BYU is 5-7 one year? That would just hurt them. There aren't enough independent teams to guarantee a good foe

I don't see a scenario where playing Notre dame every year on championship week is a bad idea

Oh don't get me wrong, as a BYU fan, I LOVE the idea. I just don't see any reason for ND to think it's a great idea.

The top 15 would be nice but a thirteenth game against a top 50 on that week is

Don't confuse them with facts. It is so much more fun to eor

I disagree -- at least this year.

It absolutely would. If they remove the requirement to have 12 team this would

An Indy Champ Game for all THREE teams? Yeah, that will really go over well.

If they really thought a game vs BYU would help, I'm sure they have TH's number
