Notre Dame AD still upset with ACC and CFP committee, calls for expansion to 16-team playoff field

On Tuesday, Bevacqua, Notre Dame athletic director, said he was still upset the CFP selection committee bypassed Notre Dame amid ACC public campaigning, but noted no ill will with the University of Miami football program despite strained relations.
The ACC Network replayed the Notre Dame–Miami game multiple times last week while ACC officials supplied data to the CFP committee, the league said.
The season-opening Notre Dame–Miami game ended 27-24, and CFP chair Hunter Yurachek urged members to rewatch it before the committee gave Miami the nod.
Bevacqua proposed a 16-team playoff with five automatic qualifiers and 11 at-large teams, urging the CFP selection committee to increase transparency in its process.
Notre Dame had been in playoff position every week until the final poll, and Bevacqua said he will meet ACC leadership to repair relations as a top-12 automatic spot begins next season.
