Tonight's CFB Playoff Rankings...
Whether we're #3, #4, #5 or #6 tonight -- it really doesn't matter.
WE HAVE TO BEAT STANFORD SATURDAY ON THE ROAD -- we do that and I like our chances of finishing in the TOP FOUR. Here's why:
- The ACC will have one team in the CFB Playoff
- The SEC will have one team in the CFB Playoff
- The Big Ten will have one team in the CFB Playoff
This is a given.
It will come down to who looks better on paper out of these three teams -- for one of those four positions in the Playoff:
- 11 - 1 Notre Dame
- 11 - 1 Oklahoma or an 11 - 1 Oklahoma State
Here's what that "paper" looks like right now:
NOTRE DAME:
- FBS Opponents: 11
- Opponents Records: 73 - 58
- Opponents with 8+ wins: 5
- Common opponent Texas: Notre Dame 38 - Texas 3
OKLAHOMA:
- FBS Opponents: 11
- Opponents Records: 69 - 59
- Opponents with 8+ wins: 3
- Common opponent Texas: Texas 24 - Oklahoma 17
OKLAHOMA STATE:
- FBS Opponents: 9
- Opponents Records: 67 - 60
- Opponents with 8+ wins: 3
- Common opponent Texas: Oklahoma State 30 - Texas 27
We beat Stanford Saturday night -- it will be difficult to keep us out of the Playoff!

David Ortiz's Request of Notre Dame Football
This is pretty cool.
Notre Dame Football Equipment Manager Ryan Grooms @NDFBEquipment sent out this tweet, acknowledging that Boston Red Sox star David Ortiz requested that Notre Dame wide receiver Torii Hunter, Jr. (son of recently retired baseball star Torii Hunter, Sr.) -- be assigned his locker for tonight's game at Fenway Park.
Classy move.

ND at Fenway: Undefeated & Unscored Upon
The Fighting Irish played their first game at Fenway Park back in 1944 -- beating Dartmouth 64 - 0. The coach that year -- Ed McKeever -- was "standing in" for the legendary Frank Leahy, who left Notre Dame to serve our country in the Navy during World War II.
Tonight's game with Boston College will be Notre Dame's second football game at Fenway Park -- 71 years later.
