I've never understood the whole "Notre Dame should be in a Conference" thing.Notre Dame should never be allowed in any national championship playoff. Even if they join a conference and win every game in a season by 35+ points. They should never be allowed in. Never. Ever. But, ya know. I'm not biased or anything. Heh heh....Ara Parchesi can bite it! ( I present this opinion on behalf of my wonderful, late grandfather, RIP)
