The Notre Dame Fighting Irish came in at #6 when the latest college football playoff rankings were released on ESPN on Tuesday night.
Notre Dame destroyed Georgia Tech on Saturday. Add the big win, plus a blowout loss by the Michigan State Spartans to the Ohio State Buckeyes — plus another big loss by the Oregon Ducks to the Utah Utes — and the Irish moved up two spots in the rankings.
The rest of the top 10 looks like this:
- Ohio State Buckeyes
- Notre Dame
The committee really loves jamming in a bunch of Big 12 teams that have no strong out of conference wins (off the top of my head).
