In that case, great game. But that would be rare. With only 3 indy teams (and one being

consistently awful), you are more likely to have one team be mediocre and therefore not helpful to the cause.

LOL.. an independents championship game wouldn't do them much good.

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

JohnnyComeLately

11/28/15 11:04am

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.

A thirteenth game on championship week against a top 50 team keeps you from

OSU played the 13 ranked team in the country last year, big difference from playing 50th ranked

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.

I would bet that a Notre dame BYU game on championship weekend

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

Calling BYU now is for one of 12 games a 13th game on championship week would be different.
