Notre Dame moves up 2 spots in ESPN FPI rankings after Week 4
As ND keeps the seat warm at No. 3 in the latest US LBM Coaches and AP polls, ESPN believes the Irish should be higher in their updated FPI rankings.
Notre Dame has climbed two spots in ESPN's latest FPI rankings, moving from No. 4 to No. 2 after Week 4. This increase comes despite remaining in the same position as both the USLBM Coaches and Associated Press polls. The Fighting Irish now possess an FPI rating of 27.8, which is shared with Ohio State and 0.5 points below Georgia's top-ranked rating of 28.3.
Notre Dame's projected win-loss record stands at 11.1-0.9, with a 39% probability of winning out the rest of the season. ESPN's projections indicate an 84.8% likelihood of Notre Dame reaching the College Football Playoff, following their exclusion last season. Furthermore, the Fighting Irish have a 24.7% chance of advancing to the CFP national championship game and just an 13.9% chance of securing the title. The team's next matchup will be on Saturday against North Carolina at home.
