Possible we play ND 3 times this year ????

I know the odds are slim to none but......it’s 2020. I bet there has never been 2 teams that have played 3 times in a year.

If Alabama wins the SEC, I think ACC gets two teams in. If Alabama loses SEC to Florida, I think Florida leap frogs the loser of the ACC championship (aka ND) and the SEC gets two teams in CFP.
There’s also a third scenario where Alabama loses and it costs OSU a playoff spot instead of ND.
End of the day, if we beat ND for the ACC, there’s a real chance for this to happen and that would be awesome.

I don't think so.Here's why.. Notre Dame and CU will play in the ACCCG
If we beat them by more than 20, and Fla. either beats or gives Bama a good game. Then the playoff picture will look
If Bama wins in SECCG 1. Bama 2. Clem. 3. Fla. 4. Oh. St.
If Bama loses 1.Oh. St. 2.Clem. 3. Bama 4. Fla
or something like that.
How does it look to you?

The flaw in your scenarios is OSU.***

I think Florida has to beat Bama to get in over ND. Just don’t see a two-loss Florida team getting in over the biggest TV draw in the league. I hate ND as much as the next guy but they got fans across the country in a way no other team has. CFP would be stupid to give that up if they have a defensible argument for leaving them in.

I’ll start with premise: ONLY way Bama DOESN’T make CFP is

Season ending injury to Mac Jones AND they lose SECCG to UF.
Clemson does not make CFP if they lose ACCCG.
Notre Dame does not make CFP if 1) Bama (just) loses SECCG, or 2) we humiliate them (38-3 or similar) in ACCCG.
031O State is in with BIGCG win - but no higher than 2 bc no quality wins.
Texas A&M in CFP if we lose ACCCG to ND. MAYBE if we humiliate ND in ACCCG.
UF ONLY in CFP if they beat Bama.
Not into all the possible pairings based on the above ‘what if’ combos, but my bet is:
1. Bama 2. Clemson 3. 031O State 4. Notre Dame
$.02

Funny spelling, I always thought it was "THE O31-0 State University".

If OSU misses another game

then the groundwork for three Clemson-ND games is absolutely laid out. No way in h3ll the committee puts in a 5-0, non-Big 10 champion, Indiana-as-a-signature-win O310 State.
So OSWho cancels another game, we beat VT, ND wins out, we beat ND in a close, competitive game for the ACC crown, and either Florida or A&M beats Bama for the SEC crown, both Clemson and ND should be in the playoffs.
Who knows what the rankings would be in that situation. You'd have four one-loss teams that would all be extremely close in "points".
