This would be a return to a BCS-era contingency for Notre Dame, where the Fighting Irish were guaranteed a BCS bowl bid if they finished in the BCS top-8 at the end of the season (with 10 total BCS bowl spots up for grabs).

A newsy wrinkle from Bevacqua: As part of an MOU signed last spring, Notre Dame is assured of a CFP berth if it is ranked in the top 12 starting next year. If this year’s situation unfolds next year, the final at-large team (Miami) would have gotten bumped for No. 11 Notre Dame.

With the last piece of the simulated BCS puzzle locked into place, the official side-by-side bracket ends up looking a bit closer than it did this morning. However the key difference remains: the BCS prefers Notre Dame, the committee preferred Miami.

Although not entirely official, the simulated BCS and @CFBPlayoff will disagree on the inclusion of Miami — the BCS will fall in favor of Notre Dame

We are still waiting for the final computer ranking to come in to calculate a true simulated BCS. But with both polls and five of six computers reporting, the simulated BCS would fill its 12-team playoff this way:
