Notre Dame puts themselves defacto into the ACC. Right now things look peachy for the Irish because the rules for power five don’t apply to them. At some point they are going to have the face the reality that the BIG 12 have picked up on and have a conference championship game. A one loss Notre Dame team does not have the extra data point that a one loss conference champion from any other power five does. They can try and pretend they are special but at some point not being in a conference will bite them in their privileged asses. What chaps my hide about this is when its not a clear cut one loss scenario; if Notre Dame has one loss and a conference champion has two there are cases to be made for Notre Dame over the two-loss conference champion. All of this speculation is what makes college football so much more fun to follow then professional. As far as playing Notre Dame on a regular basis (yearly, two on two off, or every so many years) I think its good for all involved parties, were both national brands squaring off in a historic rivalry and were both going to be relatively good for the foreseeable future.

Attached is the discussion thread to the College Football subreddit regarding the Saban/Harbaugh. It’s interesting to hear other sides of the same story.
Even when he was still at FL I didn't care for him. As soon as he took the OHIO job I knew it was a wrap, he's a good recruiter, a good football coach and a terrible person. I regularly internally characterize him as the devil. I set the scene of him in the living room of a consensus 5-star where he talks about dreams of NFL stardom, gold pants and a national championship run. Then he looks the recruit square in the eye and says “ALL IT WILL COST YOU, IS YOUR SOUL!!!!! Ha ha ha ha” then the horns go back in his head and the fire and brimstone behind him ceases.

LOVE Harbaugh with the keeper for the TD.
