I don't think Notre Dame's going to get a bid. They didn't even make it into the Top 10 in the coaches poll, and with their weak overall schedule, they won't get any help from the computers. If Harris ranks them high enough to overcome all that, the shrieks of favoritism will outdo even the screams of anguish from Ann Arbor.
Never underestimate the BS err BCS contract with Notre Lame and the media warriors who think they can make a big penny by having Notre Lame in a BCS bowl.
