How would Notre Dame have done in a 12 team college football playoff in 1995?

The 12 team college football playoff is going to happen, and it’s likely going to start in 2023. These are “almost facts” because it’s what we are expecting, but hasn’t quite been announced yet (just give it a bit). The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are heavily in the mix — albeit in a different way than teams in conferences — but we’re not the to debate the merits of the proposal.

I’m here to have a little fun.

Playoff scenarios are nothing new, and writers have been banging these things out for years, but now we have a fairly solid blueprint for how the playoff will be in the future and can piece together how the past years’ tournaments would have looked.
