Notre Dame's College Football Playoff snub led to heavy bickering in the college football community and a revelation that stunned the rest of the college football world.

In the wake of the Fighting Irish's exclusion from the playoff, Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger reported that, as part of a memorandum of understanding signed by the playoff committee, Notre Dame is essentially guaranteed a playoff spot if it is ranked in the top 12 beginning next year. If the playoff expands to 14 teams and additional at-large berths are added, Notre Dame would be a lock for a spot if it entered No. 13 of better.

Following that revelation, Yahoo Sports 's Dan Wolken revealed rival athletic directors are "threatening to freeze [Notre Dame] out of future schedules."
