Does Notre Dame go to the playoffs with a 6-0 record if they run the table against Wake Forest, Pittsburgh, Duke, Georgia Tech, Louisville, and Clemson?

Let’s see what everyone else does, first. There’s going to be more than a few 6-0 teams.

After further review, Notre Dame would still have Navy on the schedule and possibly Western Michigan. That would put them at 8 games.

It will be interesting to see what the non-Power 5 conferences do, since non-con games with the big boys are how many of them make ends meet.

Agree. I would be surprised if it goes beyond the Power 5 for that very reason.

I'm pretty sure the biggest reason for cutting off non-conference is to save money. It has nothing to do with covid exposure. Not having stadiums at 100% capacity is going to take a huge hit to the multi-billion dollar industry that is the NCAA not to mention the individual conferences. On its face it makes absolutely no sense to not have non-conference games considering Maryland travels to Minnesota this season... Or vice versa...
