We've been speculating for as long as ND was given a sweetheart deal into good bowls and a favorable, though unfulfilled, path to the championship game.
Those days look like they are about to end, we're probably going to have a 3+1 model of 3 conference champions, plus one wild card if the 4th-best conference champion is not highly ranked.
If that happens, ND does not have a realistic shot of ever making it into the playoffs unless they go undefeated, and even then it'd be iffy. They may be given no choice but to join a conference.
