Notre Dame gets surprise prediction for first CFP bracket
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 10th in the AP Poll after a crucial win over Boston College last weekend. However, the AP Poll is one thing, and it’s relatively meaningless to the College Football Playoff selection committee.
Notre Dame, winner of six straight, was last in the AP top 10 in Week 3 before a home loss to Texas A&M dropped them to 0-2.

The LSU Tigers remained idle in Week 10 with the program navigating an open date in Baton Rouge ahead of next Saturday's matchup against the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Last week, USC came in at No. 23 in the college football AP Poll. After taking down Nebraska on the road Saturday night, the Trojans rose three spots, and are now ranked No. 20.
It seems like Miami's College Football Playoff hopes are done, but the Hurricanes still have a win over a top-10 team (Notre Dame) and dominated a pretty good South Florida team. The Notre Dame win kept Miami ahead of Texas and USC. Neither team holds a win that impressive, and they have flaws in their own right.
