ATLANTA, Ga. -- Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua said the independent Irish are comfortable continuing to give up access to a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff -- something currently only granted to the four highest-ranked conference champions -- as long as the fate of conference championship games remains the same.
"We're comfortable that if conference championship games continue as they're currently configured, part of the deal we made is that we wouldn't get a bye, and that's understandable," Bevacqua said on Saturday, speaking to a small group of reporters are the national championship game media availability at the Georgia World Congress Center.
