Why ND Fans Should Hope Alabama Gets In...

This is a no-brainer.

If Alabama gets the fourth College Football Playoff slot it proves the following:

• You don't need to win a conference title to make the CFB Playoff
• You don't need to play 13 games to make the CFB Playoff
• And, you only need wins over 10 FBS opponents* to make the CFB Playoff

*Note: The Big Ten / Ohio State crowd will argue that (11-1) Alabama only has 10 wins this season against FBS opponents -- with an "exhibition win against Mercer" on November 18th.

So, I'm rooting for the following to happen today during the NOON ET hour:

• Alabama gets the 4th ranking
• Notre Dame gets the Citrus Bowl on New Year's Day vs. LSU
• And, further proof that a Conference Championship is not required to play for a National Championship
