@RossDellenger
A Power 5 AD in New York this week said a specific 8-team playoff model is circulating around the CFB world that would incorporate bowls, including a bowl-sponsored national championship game.

The model:
- 5 auto bids for P5 champs
- 2 at-large
- 1 Group of 5

That should put the end to the ND to the ACC talk(it won't, it should though).

I actually think if they were to adopt this format then it would FORCE Notre Dame to join the ACC. Otherwise, they are at a disadvantage each year. What's tougher for Notre Dame? Winning the ACC or finishing the regular season ranked in the T8? I would think finishing in the T8 would be harder.
Doesn't matter. Do we have access? If yes, then we're good.

ND may have to do better than T8 to get an at large spot in this format. If you assume in a typical year that 2 of the automatic qualifiers don't finish in the top 6, then the lowest ranked at large team would need to be at least #6. 2019 is a little different where the lowest rated at large would be ranked #7.

Absolutely correct.

Another reason that joining an actual conference would give ND a more clear cut path to a CFP berth and less dependence on the mercy of an at large ranking ASSUMING playing in a CFP is a top priority of their fb program (which I think would be).

No matter how you cut it, should this 5-1-2 format get adopted it puts ALL independent schools at an inherent disadvantage vs schools IN conferences. That's not an opinion. It's a fact. Yes, Notre Dame still controls their destination being independent BUT there's MUCH less wiggle room vs being in a conf, whether they want to admit it or not.
