I’m sorry if this is common sense but im still very new to college football. I thought the playoffs were the top 11 teams and then a group of 5 team. So why is there a second group of 5 team that made it over Notre Dame, who is ranked 11?

there’s 5 spots for “the highest ranked conference champions” and 7 spots for whoever the committee feels like putting in. the 5 highest conference champs were Indiana, Georgia, Texas Tech, Tulane, JMU. Notre dame can’t get one of those spots because they didn’t win a conference. and the committee felt there were 7 teams better than notre dame that also couldn’t win a conference
