 Sure they could have but they played 2 playoff teams this year and went 0-2 then beat pretty much nobody. A home win vs USC (who since joining the B1G doesn't beat anyone when they head east - L's to Minnesota, Maryland, Illinois, Michigan). They have zero resume to build a case when comparing 2 loss teams.

I’ve used  sagarin ratings and schedule strength ranks for handicapping for the last 20 or so years and find its objective.  He has Notre Dame ranked 3rd and schedule strength 32.   

miss 10  sos 39

miami  7     30 

Texas tech 5   67  

Indiana 2      43   

My opinion - the sos argument doesn’t fly and Notre Dame got screwed .
