So while I was watching some of the ND-Pitt game, I started thinking about how, as of right now, ND controls it's destiny for the most part. If they win out, they'll probably get in, unless you have 4 undefeated conference champs. Assuming Clemson were to get in, would the committee keep ND out to avoid a possible rematch? The main reason for the playoff to begin with, was because of the All SEC title game with Bama and LSU.  I haven't heard that discussed much this week as a possible factor at the end of the season when the committee has to lock in the top 4, and no one has really asked that question either.
