Everyone loves ND though so they'll be playing in a BCS game even if they lose 3 games, so I don't think they have much to worry about.
I'm not sure if it's because everyone loves the Irish or not... but wasn't it written into the BCS model at one point (for the BCS bowls) that was the top conference winners + ND (if they had a 10 win season) that made the top BCS rankings. I know they don't (might not) do it anymore, but there was some extra love for ND because they remained an independant (and still choose to stay that way).
