Welp, the Eagles making the playoffs this season is like Alabama making the College Football Playoff.
It's probably going to happen, but that doesn't mean it's right.
Point of order: it's going to be a 5+7 model next year thanks to the Pac-12 demise. Also they're forcing the top 4 to be conference champions so even if Notre Dame goes 12-0, they can't be seeded any higher than fifth.
I found this interesting; my season is about ready to start in just 9 short days, and this leaves men's college basketball, I believe, as the only iteration of the sport that still uses the one-and-one bonus.
I'm not sure I believe the argument that it is a safety issue, but I do find it interesting.
