Big statement by ND:

As a team, we've decided to withdraw our name from consideration for a bowl game following the 2025 season," Notre Dame wrote in a statement. "We appreciate all the support from our families and fans, and we're hoping to bring the 12th national title to South Bend in 2026."

I approve. F**k the NCAA. We're not gonna fill a stadium or create ad revenue following your bulls*it screw job.

That's really sore looser stuff. Which won't help them on future bids for the playoffs. You just go to the Bowl game you get and don't complain about it. That said they are right. They are better than some teams that got put in before them. But you still have to handle it with class and dignity. This is like little kid stuff. Temper tantrum.

12 is plenty enough. It's better than the 2 or 4 format. However many you do somebody will be the odd team out. Somebody will be #65, #66 and have a case. You can't do that many more games in football. It's a much rougher game than basketball.

Found in a comment section:

Maybe the team (ND) will vote to go to the Sun Belt conference so they can battle with James Madison for the conference championship and coast their way into the playoffs next year.

That would be the maximum, ultimate FU to the Committee. Do it! Do it.
