have an option here. As outlined on the College Football Playoff website, “The 12 participating teams will be the five conference champions ranked highest by the CFP selection committee, plus the next seven highest-ranked schools.”

So you've got the B10, SEC, B12, American and Sun conferences. The ACC conference champion, Duke, didn't get an auto bid because conference champs Tulane and JMU were both ranked higher than Duke, who wasn't even ranked in the CFP final rankings.
Notre Dame would likely be favored by 10+ more points over either Tulane or JMU.
