The first set of College Football Playoff rankings were released on Tuesday and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will start off ranked #15 in the country — three spots below the #12 ranking by the AP Top 25 and Coaches Poll.

Notre Dame opponents in the top 25:
- Ohio State Buckeyes #1
- Louisville Cardinals #13 (not LSU as depicted above)
- USC Trojans #20
As of right now when it comes to Notre Dame, the only real argument we can make is that the Irish might be the best 2 loss team in the country, but the LSU Tigers are positioned that way as of right now.
