The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are now ranked #8 in the College Football Playoff rankings and still are eying a spot to host a first round game in South Bend. To do that, the Irish will have to win out (and impressively) in their final three games of the season. Next up for the Irish is senior day in South Bend, and the Virginia Cavaliers.
(The podcast above has the game picks for this week, and also the new Earned 5-Star Top 20 rankings).
This looks to be a really solid week all around college football, and one that could have a considerable impact on the next set of playoff rankings.
