Let's Revisit the CFB Playoff Discussion...


If you follow this blog -- you would have seen this post a couple weeks ago.  It laid out Notre Dame's journey to the College Football Playoffs -- BELOW IN RED.  Let's see how it's going so far:

Now, I will preface this exercise with I truly don't feel we have any chance of making the College Football Playoffs this year -- because of the lack of perceived quality wins...

Yet, the "fat lady's not singing" -- so, let's walk through the next five weeks of college football and show how our Fighting Irish could end up in the TOP 4...

WEEK ONE:

  • #10 Notre Dame beats Navy convincingly CHECK!
  • #9 Wake Forest loses to North Carolina  CHECK!                                                 

Notre Dame moves up to #9  CHECK!

 

WEEK TWO:

  • #9 Notre Dame beats Virginia convincingly  CHECK!
  • #8 Oklahoma loses to #14 Baylor  CHECK!
  • #7 Michigan loses to Penn State  MISSED

Notre Dame moves up to #7 MISSED -- NOTRE DAME #8

 

WEEK THREE:

  • #7 Notre Dame beats Georgia Tech convincingly  CHECK!
  • #6 Cincinnati loses to SMU MISSED
  • #5 Michigan State loses to #6 Ohio State  CHECK!
  • #3 Oregon loses to Utah

Notre Dame moves up to #5 -- GOING TO PROJECT US AT #6

 

WEEK FOUR:

  • #5 Notre Dame beats Stanford convincingly
  • #4 Ohio State loses to Michigan

Notre Dame moves up to #4 -- GOING TO PROJECT US AT #5
