Do you want your team to have it's best chance to get into the CFP? Then get in a conference. Now, you're still not going if you lose 5 games, like Duke did. And, ya, Bama got in because of their name.
BYU lost to TT, who is in.
But, if you want your team to have its best chance, get in a conference. If money is more important, don't.
Why is Tulane in? Because they are conf champs that beat a good team in the championship game. You're making my point. If ND was a two loss team that won, say, the ACC, they'd be in. Easily.
You're totally making my point by pointing out the JMU got in. I don't get it. I heartily welcome our new coach, but JMU's best win this season was an early season W over Louisville. I don't see why they're in. But, dude, they're a conf champ. If ND was ACC champ, they'd be in.
