I suspect there is a reason

Yes, it's called Notre Dame, with its 12 national titles (or 18, depending on how you count).

It’s been about a 1/4 century since Notre Dame has won a national title. Anyway, my point is about specific teams being mentioned in post-season criteria. It’s the same if MLB had a post-season clause: If the Yankees finish over .500 they are automatically in the playoffs because they’ve won 27 championships. If the NFL was like college football they would not have allowed the Arizona Cardinals to have played in the Super Bowl against the Steelers because they played in a weak division and did not have a tradition of winning. I have nothing against any of the teams or players, I don’t really care who ends up winning the title, but the administration of college football is the worst of any organized sport. If Notre Dame ends up being the only undefeated team or one of two undefeated teams then they deserve to be in the national title game. If there are three undefeated teams then I would hope it would be by merit, not by the size of their fan base. If that’s the case then why not just determine playoffs by attendance numbers and television ratings.
