It's theoretically possible that you could have four 13-0 conference champs selected ahead of a 12-0 Notre Dame... but it would have to be the "right" four teams, IMO. Like if those teams were Alabama, Ohio State, Texas and either USC, Clemson, FSU or maybe Oregon... even then I think there's a lot of pressure on the committee to pick ND as the 4th team.
However, that's an extremely unlikely scenario - in a realistic case (i.e. fewer than four unbeaten champs) I agree with you - an undefeated ND gets in every time. The issue for them is if they lose just one game, they're probably out - and that's most years, IMO.
