I'm assuming ND needs 6 wins to be bowl eligible same as everyone else which means their not going bowling this year. So what's the net $ impact of ND being independent, not going bowling and not sharing in any conference bowl pot? Does what they get from being ND and independent more than make up for what they're losing not being in a bowl?
No bowling for ND this year.....

5 win teams can go to bowls if there aren't enough with 6 wins. Based on their APRs. Duke would be in the mix if they win next week....not sure about ND. All the 5-win teams that went to bowls last year won.
Yeah I wasn't sure but was thinking 5-win teams could go if there weren't enough bowl-eligible teams. Just goes to show there are way too many bowl games if there aren't enough 6-win teams to fill them.
Also, I think ND only has 4 wins currently and their last game is against USC. Good chance they don't even make it to 5.

Congrats to all the recruits who verbally committed to ND. No team does less with more.
Except maybe Texas.
Both get Top recruits Top ten recruiting classes and both are terrible.
It's absolutely ridiculous that a 6 win team can go to a bowl. It's beyond comprehension that a 5 win team goes to any bowl. The minimum number of wins to be bowl eligible should be at 8. I thought bowl games were supposed to be for good teams at the very least. I must be mistaken.
So in that scenario, ND isn't even close to being bowl eligible. They're a bad team.

USC is a rival and will be up for beating the snot out of the Irish. ND has some serious issues especially on defense and can't see one recruiting class changing that. I truly believe that Kelly and his staff are not very good at advancing the talent/development that a top program needs.
Yes, but a 5 win ND team cannot jump into like the Orange Bowl or any other bowl. They have to take what they can get.
