More important and will hold position with the committee. A top 15 would elevate. Their coach liked the idea. I guess you are just the smartest guy in the room

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?

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.

I disagree -- at least this year.
