In the first set of college football playoff rankings, the committee put the Notre Dame Fighting Irish #10.
Personally, I thought the Irish would likely be #9, but that was under the assumption that Michigan would fall behind Notre Dame (and I figured Wake Forest would be ahead of the Irish).
The rest of the top 10:
- Wake Forest Demon Deacons
- Notre Dame
The Irish have one ranked win on the season now, and that came against the #21 ranked Wisconsin Badgers. I absolutely have no idea why the Iowa Hawkeyes are ranked at #22.
