Does Notre Dame make the CFP?

[Me2SouthBend]

I don't think they'd drop an undefeated IU that far for losing to the number 1 team.

Wouldn’t drop them to number 4 w a 10+point loss? Yes could certainly go to 4. Especially after impressive wins by TT and Ga.

 

[slaughterhouseX]

Lose Three
No CFP

 

[Irishdawg]

Welp, the Irish had everything go their way today. Hope it was enough!!🤞🏼🙏🏼☘️

IU's resume is light years better than Texas Tech's. Only loss would be to the number one team in the nation in an "extra" game.
No way they penalize them lower than three even if they lose by 14+.

Fowler and Herbstreit were nauseating as the game went on. They weren’t even trying to be unbiased.

Flat out campaigning for Bama and the SEC. Disgusting

 

[Edge]

Fox isn’t, “if you claim champ games are relevant then you have to take the bad into account, Bama has been bad last few weeks, ND and Miami should be in and Bama out”

Respect to them for that.

Love fox saving there fire power then just unloading today… unreal

Brainy move by the BIG giving ND air cover & encouraging them to shop the ACC deal?

Hard to watch them the panel doing the Big 10 championship did appear to try be objective.

 

[NDPhilly]

Heather Dinich just flashed this bracket on ESPN as well, except with OSU and UGA flipped. Our side seems pretty locked in.

IU should scare me more than they do, but man it’s all right there in front of us

 

[T-Boone]

Surely Duke is pitching to be included.

Yeah, ole Curbsteet has been politicking for the Canes big time the past week or so. Fuck him and his flea-infested dogs he's so proud of.

 

[CoachB]

I mean, I will be grateful to be in, but don't love the A&M matchup at college station. I still think they have been the best and most consistent team in the SEC all season. I would rather play any other SEC team, to be honest. I think A&M is by far the most dangerous.

We won’t end up playing A&M. Pairings will adjust.

ND will prob be in Norman

 

[NDRock]

ND will prob be in Norman

Wherever we play it will be tough. Those on campus atmospheres were crazy last year. Norman will be rocking. Freeman will have us ready if that’s what happens.

Assuming they leave Miami out, will they fuck with the back of the rankings to put Duke over JMU?

No chance

edit: to clarify, JMU was ranked 25th last week. Duke wasn't even in the top 25.

JMU won, so they'll prob get some sort of bump up. For Duke to get into the CFP, they would have to get ranked ahead of JMU. That's not happening.

 

[Irishdawg]

Acc champ or not, no way a 5 loss team deserves to be in! IMO

 

[DONTH8]

That UConn loss has to keep them out I imagine.

 

[notredomer23]

James Bond has a point, besides the lack of Miami mention on ESPN

 

[DCK_1981]

If we have a playoff with Tulane and James Madison there will be some changing of the rules again because when we are arguing what 12 best teams should get in, Tulane and James Madison are nowhere near the level of best teams and will mark another2 byes essentially

 

[IrishLion]

If the committee had balls, it’d be:

8. ND - résumé boost + Bama drop
9. Miami (FL) - Bama drop + Storyline
10. Oklahoma - résumé took a hit

Gives everyone the Miami(FL)/ND answer in round one

I still think that the ACC is gonna get screwed in favor of Bama, though. SEC powers are going to be making a whole bunch of threats behind closed doors today.

Hey herbie may be an idiot but no need to bash his pups. They can’t help their owner is a moron.

I'm hoping they adjust Oklahoma's best win for the fact that Alabama sucks and the Sooners (or Hurricanes) come to South Bend

I think this is what it will look like

 

[Domina Nostra]

they need to have an ND Miami rematch in SB.

Not happening this year, but

Circle November 7th, 2026 on your calendar

 

[Rudy89]

I want Miami to make it because if we make a run I want the dream scenario of avenging both of our loses. Don’t know if that’s a possibility or if we will be forced to lose twice to a team but that would be the Hollywood story I’d love to see my first Nattie under these circumstances.
