The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 7-1 and ranked #10 in the country according to the AP Poll. The first College Football Playoff rankings will be released on Tuesday, and it may still be a stretch that those initial spots will mean much in a few weeks as games are played and “reasons” for movement are given by the committee.
The common thought is that if Notre Dame wins their final four games — they’re in. If they lose — they’re out. As far as the seeding goes, it still may be up in the air if the 11-1 Irish get a home playoff game.
