I think it would be terrible accept a compromise that could put a #6+ ranked conference champ in over a #1-4 ND team (or BYU or the SEC runner-up, etc).

I don't know what recourse ND would have. Perhaps everyone except the Big Ten, ACC, and PAC12 could agree to their own playoff, and let those three do what they will (which would probably mean Big Ten/PAC12 in the Rose Bowl and the ACC groveling to get back into the playoff discussion). Certainly, there would be enough numbers to pass this, as those conferences only make up 38 of the 124 teams. With the SEC and Big XII on board (followed by the ACC), the pool of likely NC contenders only shrinks by Southern Cal and Oregon.
