Oklahoma State passes Notre Dame in new College Football Playoff rankings
I know it’s hard to believe based off the whirlwind 24 hours it’s been but believe it or not, there is actually still football to be played this season and Notre Dame still technically has a chance to win a national championship.
Yes, the team who just had their head coach bail after breaking up with them over text message, has a chance at the College Football Playoff (CFP). Following their 45-14 victory at Stanford on Saturday the Irish finished the season 11-1 and now await things to play out both ahead of and behind them in the CFP rankings.
The CFP committee released their latest rankings on Tuesday night and here is how they go:
