Notre Dame Football: Would College Football Playoff Expansion Help Title Hopes?

Many people have weighed in with their opinions of whether or not the College Football Playoff should expand from four teams to eight. For Notre Dame fans, there should be mixed feelings about whether expansion is to the benefit of the Fighting Irish.

Many fans and websites (including this one) have weighed in on what expansion would mean for the Irish. The most likely scenario for expansion is that the playoff committee would increase the field to eight teams and keep the current selection and ranking method. Undoubtedly, this would be the best scenario for the Irish to get into the playoff.
